Beschreibung

"Genre Constraints" explores how genre conventions significantly shape narrative structure and character behavior in film, television, and language arts. These conventions are not merely guidelines but exert powerful influences on creativity, impacting storytelling in both subtle and overt ways. Genres, like crime fiction or romantic comedies, evolve dynamically, reflecting societal values and influencing how creators and audiences engage with stories. Understanding genre constraints is vital for anyone analyzing, creating, or appreciating stories, as these constraints act as prescriptive guidelines that provide a strong framework for both production and reception.

The book examines how genre rules manifest in plot development, such as the mystery-solving arc in crime fiction or the obstacles to love in romantic comedies. It delves into how genre shapes character behavior, from the film noir anti-hero to the young adult protagonist, exploring how these conventions can enable storytelling and perpetuate stereotypes. Analyzing case studies from literature and film, the book draws comparisons between differing media constraints.

The text progresses by first establishing a conceptual framework for understanding genre, tracing its historical development, and then moves towards examining the practical implications of genre conventions. Ultimately, "Genre Constraints" equips readers with the tools to critically examine the stories they consume and to create stories that are both meaningful and compelling. It emphasizes the need for a conscious approach to the role of genre in storytelling.

Field Rules

Carla Luna

What happens in the field, stays in the field. Or does it? 
After the disastrous way her first archaeological dig ended, graduate student Olivia Sanchez abandoned her dreams of working in the field. Now, thanks to a last-minute teaching opportunity in Cyprus, she’ll get another chance to explore ancient history firsthand. This time, failure isn’t an option. 
But digging up the past takes on a whole new meaning when she’s forced to team up with her ex, shovel bum Rick Langston. 
For years, Rick has proven his archaeological skills all over the Mediterranean. But with no graduate degree—and a habit of attracting trouble—his reputation could use a little rehab. All he has to do is play by the rules while he’s in Cyprus and he’ll secure a coveted recommendation for his next job. Until Olivia resurfaces like a cursed relic from the past. 
Given that their last fling nearly led to their academic ruin, Olivia and Rick can’t afford to repeat their past mistakes. But as they work together under the scorching Mediterranean sun, the heat between them proves impossible to ignore.
