Description
Summary:This paper is dedicated to an underexplored topic: the functioning of atopic discourses, characterized by a problematic belonging to the social space, and operating on the boundaries between the tolerable and the unacceptable. The main objective is to identify and to describe the typical ethos of the enunciator of atopic discourse. The results reveal an unstable hybrid ethos with a fluid nature that contributes to the concealment of the enunciator of this type of discourse, characterized by a floating identity.
