Institutions and Genres

Producers of generic narratives depend on a certain amount of immediate communication with the audience. They want the narrative to be easily comprehensible. Genres that use key components that are easily recognisable are particularly important. Audiences know what to expect from a genre but at the same time want some variations to prevent dissatisfaction and even boredom. Any text in a genre is a combination between familiar and the unexpected.
