G enres mutate, disappear, travel through translation and sometimes re-emerge. Traditionally viewed as a classi-� catory device, the idea of genre has been challenged

by anti-genre theoreticians who question the possibility of read-ing texts merely through a typological framework. The essays in this volume contribute to a transcultural poetics through an en-gagement with genre, viewing it as neither normative nor in� ex-ible. They investigate historically established genres; genres that transgress conventions as they move between di� erent art forms and cultures; and genres that, whilst seeming to respond to reader expectations, expand and create new communicative spaces. The volume includes not only theoretical considerations of the bounda-ries and scope of genre but also case studies of science � ction, po-etry, aphorism, immigrant writing, � lmic adaptation and the role of translation in genre.This volume is the 2015 Yearbook of the Goethe Society of India.
