Abstract
The article investigates the subjective and constitutive dimensions of the professional identities produced by academic literacy practices. Through a Bakhtin discursive analysis, the statements of four students of the Psychology course of the Universidade Federal do Paraná, produced during the realization of reading and writing workshops, were analyzed. Students' statements refer to the sense of shock in their experience with academic language, experienced at the moment of joining the university. The identity discourses that shape the practices of reading and writing operate under the sign of competence / incompetence leading to modes of subjective production that refer to individualization and blame for the difficulties with scientific writing. Finally, the workshop methodology is discussed based on the proposed foundations, as a possible intervention model for Psychology in the field of higher education.
