In the search for the encounter between discursive stylistics and the thinking of Bakhtin and the Circle, we investigate procedures that support the emergence of a style of the genre of religious discourse, hagiography. Beginning with the theoretical and methodological studies of discourse studies, we then use Bakhtinian thinking, especially regarding the notion of outsideness, which places the author as a correlate of the "hero." We thus intend to discuss the concept of genre style. Stabilities based on regulating movements of specific architectonics of genre will result in a discursive totality, which is open, however, to contingency and the eventness of the act of utterance.
