In this work I present a tentative panel for the contextualization of the epistemological significance of the dialogical concept and of the extended concept to the genres of discourse in Bakhtin, and their implications and consequences for communal life, with an emphasis on ethics. The panel unfolds to present a niche in which genres of discourse work as a unit of knowledge that only makes sense within social practice. From that point I call attention to some implications in relation to their relevance along our quotidian acts, especially those acts of professional character, based on the analysis and reflection on experiences of success and failure, considering the pragmatic categories of Bakhtin's architectonics.
