Abstract Due to the positivism prevailing in classrooms, the term voice was forbidden in academic discourse. The writer had to use the impersonal style, representing the voice of the scientific community. Thanks to new trends in the human sciences, intersubjectivity in academic discourse has come out of the closet; scholars are allowing their voice to be heard, although they are aware that there is a symphony of voices behind their own: the collective, intersubjective, social, and discursive voices. The objective of the paper is to provide an overview of those voices.

Keywords : voices; evocation; subjectivity; intersubjectivity; modality; attitude, positioning; assessment; commitment.
