While restating, integrating, and fabricating documents, these three long poems subversively deconstruct the three carrier forms: autobiography, journal, and collec-tion. The three works deal with photography, the relatively modern and documentary form, by taking the blankness, blur, and distortion of photographs as clues, which can explore the narrative徐露,张雯philosophy and strategies of documentary poems in the process of the reconstruction of genres, and can also glimpse the postmodernist diversified trend and exploration of contemporary Cana-dian literary creation.KeywordsCanada, English Poetry, Documentary Poems, Genre ReconstructionThis work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY 4.0)./licenses/by/4.0/1. 引言自传、日记与作品集通常被认为是纪实性或史料式的体裁,然而加拿大当代英语诗坛的三首具有代表性的“重量级”长诗,即安·卡森(Anne Carson)的《红的自传》(Autobiography of Red)、玛格丽特·阿特伍德(Margaret Atwood)的《苏姗娜·穆迪日记》(The Journals of Susanna Moodie)与迈克尔·翁达杰(Michael Ondaatje)的《比利小子作品集》(The Collected Works of Billy the Kid),虽然分别题为“自传”、“日记”与“作品集”,却又分别对这三种文体进行了后现代式的阐释与重构,进而重新定义自传、日记与作品集。

英语作文音乐的分类标题,A Classification of Music。
Music is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, expressing emotions and ideas in a way that words alone cannot. Throughout history, various genres and styles of music have emerged, each with its own unique characteristics and appeal. In this essay, we will explore the classification of music into different categories, examining the diverse range of styles that enrich our lives.One of the most fundamental ways to categorize music is by its genre. Genres refer to distinct styles or categories of music that share similar characteristics, instrumentation, and techniques. Some of the major genres include classical, jazz, rock, pop, hip-hop, electronic,and folk music. Each genre has its own history, conventions, and audience, catering to different tastes and preferences.Classical music is characterized by its complexity,orchestration, and formal structure. Originating in Western traditions, classical music encompasses a wide range of styles from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Contemporary periods. Composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, and Tchaikovsky have left an indelible mark on classical music, producing timeless masterpieces that continue to be performed and revered today.Jazz music, on the other hand, emerged from African American communities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Known for its improvisation, syncopation, and swing rhythms, jazz is a vibrant and dynamic genre that celebrates creativity and spontaneity. From the Dixieland and swing era to bebop, cool jazz, and fusion, jazz has evolved into a diverse and influential art form,influencing countless musicians across the globe.Rock music, characterized by its driving rhythms, electric guitars, and rebellious spirit, emerged in themid-20th century as a fusion of various musical styles, including blues, country, and R&B. With its roots in youth culture and countercultural movements, rock music hasevolved into numerous subgenres, such as classic rock, punk, metal, indie, and alternative rock, each with its owndistinct sound and aesthetic.Pop music, short for popular music, is perhaps the most accessible and commercially successful genre, appealing toa broad audience with its catchy melodies, relatable lyrics, and upbeat rhythms. From the bubblegum pop of the 1960s to the contemporary pop stars of today, pop music continues to dominate the charts and shape popular culture, reflecting the changing tastes and trends of society.Hip-hop music, originating in the Bronx borough of New York City in the 1970s, is characterized by its rhythmic delivery of spoken word lyrics over a beat. With its rootsin African American and Caribbean cultures, hip-hop has grown into a global phenomenon, encompassing various elements such as rapping, DJing, graffiti art, and breakdancing. From its humble beginnings as a form ofstreet expression, hip-hop has become a powerful force for social commentary and cultural activism.Electronic music, made possible by advancements in technology, utilizes synthesizers, drum machines, and computer software to create innovative sounds and textures. From the experimental sounds of early electronic pioneers like Kraftwerk and Brian Eno to the mainstream success of electronic dance music (EDM) artists like Daft Punk and Calvin Harris, electronic music spans a wide spectrum of styles and subgenres, including techno, house, trance, dubstep, and ambient music.Folk music, rooted in traditional customs and oral traditions, encompasses a diverse range of styles and cultural influences from around the world. From the Appalachian folk songs of the American South to the Celtic ballads of Ireland and Scotland, folk music celebrates the rich tapestry of human experience, passing down stories and traditions from generation to generation.In conclusion, music is a vast and multifaceted art form that defies simple categorization. By exploring the diverse range of genres and styles that comprise the musical landscape, we gain a deeper appreciation for thecreativity, diversity, and cultural significance of music in our lives. Whether it's the timeless melodies of classical music, the improvisational spirit of jazz, or the infectious rhythms of pop and hip-hop, music has the power to inspire, uplift, and unite people across the globe.。

Criteria(分类标准) Generic categories are generally defined on the basis of subject matter, formal properties(属性), style or affective response. subject matter:The science fiction and gangster genres, for example, are defined primarily on the basis of their subject matter: We expect science fiction to immerse us in an imaginary futuristic (未来主义的)world,and we expect the gangster film to tell the story of a gangster. formal properties: Action films and musicals, on the other hand, are distinguishable on account of certain necessary formal qualities: action set-pieces(固定套路) in the case of the former, and song and dance routines for the latter.

Romance
Romance films are love stories, or affairs of the heart that center on passion, emotion, and the romantic, affectionate involvement of the main characters (usually a leading man and lady), and the journey that their love takes through courtship( 求爱) or marriage. (The Sound of Music) Romance films make the love story or the search for love the main plot focus. Oftentimes, lovers in screen romances face obstacles and the hazards(冒险) of hardship,(Twilight ) finances (Titanic), physical illness(The Fault in Our Stars ) , racial or social class status (Shakespeare in Love, Jane Eyre occupation (Roman Holiday), psychological restraints(Brokeback Mountain), or family that threaten to break their union and attainment of love (Romeo and Juliet). As in all romantic relationships, tensions of day-to-day life (American Beauty, Revolutionary Road), temptations(The Bridge of Madison County ,The Piano) and differences in compatibility (兼容性) enter into the plots of romantic films.

Horror and science fiction seem relatively unproblematic, if one ignores the fact that their edges are blurred and it is sometimes difficult —as in the case of the Alien《异形》 series—to say which is which. The blockbuster may, as some critics are increasingly willing to argue, constitute a new genre, or may instead constitute a mode of post-industrial production. Social drama,is a category that has been used by the industry, but less commonly in the academic community.

For example, The silence of the Lambs《沉默的羔羊》 could be viewed as both a horror film and a thriller. The Matrix(《骇客帝国》),although analyzed here as a ―blockbuster‖, could also be classified as an action film or alternatively as science fiction; The English Patient《英 国病人》)is a romance, but as it is set against the backdrop(背景)of the Second World War, it could also be seen as a variant(变体) of the war film; 2001,A Space Odyssey(《2001:漫游太空》)is science fiction, but delivered with a grandiosity(壮观) more commonly associated with epic(史诗). This reflects the way that filmmakers and audiences in practice use the concept of genre—as a loose , flexible, and overlapping system.

Categorization of genres
Much academic ink has been wasted in the fruitless(徒劳的) attempt to give a definitive list of the Hollywood genres. Both the Western and the musical constitute well-defined genres, the former is now basically extinct ,and the latter very nearly so. Comedy and the war film —two enduringly popular forms —are problematized by prominent subgenres (e.g. comedian comedy/Vietnam war films) and generic hybrids (混合物) e.g. romantic comedy). The gangster film (reflects gangdom黑社会) seems to qualify as a genre on the grounds of its relatively predictable structure a subgenre of the crime film.
Crime Epic
American West Natural or man-made catastrophe
Criminal activities and investigation Biblical(有关圣经的)or ancient history
