Abstract:
This volume explores genres in Web-mediated communication in a
discourse-analytical perspective, focusing in particular on genre change and
evolution under the pressure of technological renewal, the availability of new
affordances, and the consequent emergence of new generic conventions that
challenge traditional genre theory. The chapters are organised in an ideal
progression from websites and more “traditional” Web applications to Web 2.0
communicative platforms, characterised as they are by user participation and
user-generated content, focusing in the final section on blogging and
microblogging as the applications that are most representative of the
properties of the new platforms. In all chapters the starting point is an
awareness of the need to renew or adapt existing analytical tools to make them
applicable to the new objects of investigation.

Abstract:
The current volume will emphasize uses, purposes, origins, and consequences of
nonverbal communication in the lives of individuals, dyads, and groups-in
other words, the behavior of human beings. As such, it will not emphasize
communication systems per se nor the impact on humans of the physical
environment, whether built or natural. With a field as widely represented as
this one, full coverage within one volume is impossible. Therefore, the
decision was made by the volume Editors to cover many different topics, the
volume’s unity will derive from its focus on the persons (or, in one chapter,
non-human animals) engaging in nonverbal communication and the communicative
and psychological aspects of this behavior. Nonverbal behavior is the more
inclusive category and includes all emitted nonverbal behavior that may be
subject to interpretation by others, whether the behavior is intentionally
produced or not. In contrast, nonverbal communication refers to a subset of
nonverbal behavior that represents a more active process whereby encoder
(expressor) and decoder (recipient) emit and interpret behaviors according to
a shared meaning code.
