Definition: "A category of artistic composition, as in music or literature, characterised by similarities in form, style, or subject matter."
The word genre originates from the latin word for class, and is used to refer to a distinctive text. It is important to categorise texts for both production and analysis. Texts are categorised by the identified key elements and iconography of the texts.
