Summary/Abstract: The book Gatunki dramatyczne. Rekonfiguracje [Dramatic Genres. Reconfigurations] is a collection of essays on genre and aesthetic transformations in recent stage, radio and television drama, considered in the context of changes in the model of contemporary theatre. The authors offer diverse reflections: both on traditional genres, such as comedy, and on genre varieties of relatively recent date. They present approaches that offer different than the traditional ones classification criteria and descriptive tools, such as the recognition of the political dimension of genology, memory and affect as genre categories, analysis of form from the perspective of intertextual references and re-combinations, genre transformations as a result of links between drama and music. A lot of space is devoted to multimedia genology in its various versions, i.e. a radio play revolutionised by modern sound broadcasting technology, a TV drama or Internet navigation, which modernise the construction of a dramatic text.
