Example text
A given genre may remember its past, but it ‘‘lives in the present’’ (p. 106). In examining genres, then, we can gain an overall understanding of the activities they have historically mediated. At the macroscopic level, genres are frequently examined and compared diachronically (Bazerman 1988; Berkenkotter and Huckin 1995; Yates 1989), and sometimes in terms of how they connect individuals’ personal histories of writing with their assimilation into disciplines and organizations (Berkenkotter and Huckin 1995; Myers 1990; Prior and Shipka 2002; Schryer 1993; Winsor 1996), with the attendant changes in objectives, values, and ethics.
In this chapter, I discuss reasons for abandoning the causal assumption described above in favor of research that integrates the three levels of scope. First I describe what I call the problem of unintegrated scope: an undesirably limited focus on a particular level of scope. I discuss how others have dealt with integrated scope in both technical communication and human-computer interaction. Next, I use the sociocultural2 understanding of artifact as a starting point for developing the genre tracing methodology, which offers an integrated-scope unit of analysis and a set of heuristics for integrating research scope.
By changing the contextual foundation, the designer changes the work activity across all levels of scope. In fieldwork-to-formalization methods, the researcher attempts to discover such an underlying structure so that design work can focus on changing that structure (that is, to find and treat the crux of the design problem). Single-scope field methods thus tend to produce design solutions oriented to that level of scope. Contextual design develops new underlying work structures at the macroscopic level, for instance (Beyer and Holtzblatt 1998, 215–228; Holtzblatt and Beyer 1993, 96–99).
