List Of Multigenre Conventions
This is a list of multi-genre conventions. These cons typically do not cater to one particular genre (i.e., anime, science fiction, furry fandom, etc.), but instead cover the gamut of these pop culture phenomena without specifying itself as a specific convention of that variety. Many of these conventions were at one time specialized conventions, but have since spread out into multiple genres. Examples of this are San Diego Comic-Con and Animation On Display. The list is divided up by location, and each convention includes dates during which it is typically held in parentheses. The dates listed are approximate or traditional time periods for each convention; for more details, please see the article or website of the individual convention(s) concerned.

Cross-genre
A hybrid genre is a literary or film genre that blends themes and elements from two or more different genres. Hybrid genre works are also referred to as cross-genre, multi-genre, mixed genre, or fusion genre. Some hybrid genres have acquired their own specialised names, such as comedy drama ("dramedy"), romantic comedy ("rom-com"), horror Western, and docudrama. ''A Dictionary of Media and Communication'' describes hybrid genre as "the combination of two or more genres", which may combine elements of more than one genre and/or which may "cut across categories such as fact and fiction". Hybrid genres are a longstanding element in the fictional process. An early literature example is William Blake's '' Marriage of Heaven and Hell'', with its blend of poetry, prose, and engravings. In cinema, the merging of two or more separate genres attracts a broader range of audience type. Examples Literature In contemporary literature, Dimitris Lyacos's trilogy '' Poena Damni'' combines fict ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
