Abstract

This paper sets out to examine not only how genre colony is elaborated with its way of arrangement in a meticulous and complicated order but also how collision with online virtual reporting is evoked by its sets of intricate design. A combination of the generic moves of a released American diplomatic document, circulating confidentially and the narrative process is conducted in order to unravel reporting evidence and authorial tangibility with a dichotomized framework of functionality and virtuality. It is found that the examined document essentially loses its initial perlocutionary effects by the intrusion of the mediating reporting act and by virtue of the free direct narrative style from the very beginning at the generic entry. The online representative mode blurs the content of the original wording of the document and the act of its reporting. It is due to the repercussion of the deviant and the virtual reporters on the course of the intended meaning for the American executive institutions. Finally, it is concluded that the act of deviating an online document from its original circulation attenuates its official executive directives and more importantly, reduces it to a virtual generic category whose dissemination as a clone genre is opened to an ambiguous and an entangled online reporting.
