This study pursues two related aims: (1) It develops a diachronic approach to web-based genres and explores its potentials and limitations. (2) As a case in point, it uses the genre personal weblog, providing a diachronic description of both recurrent and changing features of the genre. It applies a mixed-methods approach that draws on historical sources and the DIABLOC, a diachronic blog corpus, which spans 15 years from 1997 to 2012 and includes also examples of the very first weblogs. Analyses are selectively extended beyond the surface of blog-pages to their HTML source code. On the basis of corpus material, patterns of genre change such as migration, pattern embedding and genre split are described and embedded into a differentiated model of the development of the personal weblog genre.

BACKGROUND Computer-tailored programs have shown their efficacy to enhance lifestyle behaviours. Video-based messaging improves user evaluations but is expensive and may be replaced by animations. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the effects of animation-based tailoring compared to video-based tailoring on the user-experience, using a modified case intervention: Support-to-Quit. METHODS A randomised controlled cross-over design was used with two periods (animation-based tailoring vs. video-based tailoring). A mixed-methods study was conducted using structured face-to-face interviews and digital questionnaires. The intervention Support-to-Quit was a web-based computer-tailored program to support smoking cessation. We recruited 58 participants (34.9% response rate) with 17 interviewees and 41 survey participations. RESULTS No significant differences in the scores between the video-based and the animation-based versions of the program were obtained (all p-values ≥ 0.14), indicating similar user-experience, and intention to use the program between the delivery modes. Small effect sizes favouring animated texts were found for loyalty and enjoyment. Interviews showed consistent findings, further revealing the specific perceptions surrounding the concepts of the user-experience model, and overall more positive feedback was given to the animated versions CONCLUSIONS This study showed that animation-based tailoring and video-based tailoring yield similar user-experience of smokers. Due to the overall similar user-experience and two trends favouring animated texts, one can argue that animation-based tailoring may be a better and cheaper option from an intervention development perspective. Yet, future studies with larger sample sizes are needed.

Recent studies have focused on challenging deficit narratives and discourses perpetuating the criminalization of Latino men and boys. But even with this emerging literature, mainstream counter-narratives of young Latino boys and their attitudes towards manhood and masculinity stand in stark contrast to the dangerous and animalistic portrayals of Latino boys and men in the media and society. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the authors draw on the notion of counter-storytelling to explore how Latino boys try to reframe masculinity, manhood, and what they label as ‘responsible manhood.’ Counter-storytelling and narratives provide a platform from which to challenge the discourse, narratives, and imaginaries guiding the conceptualization of machismo. In their counter-narratives, Latino boys critiqued how they are raced, gendered, and Othered in derogatory ways.
