This article focuses on the corpus found on the blog “World of Depressives”, in which its creator portrays the experience of being a depressed individual. The objective is to delimit the contours of subjectivity within the blog. This work was constructed from the perspective of Institutional Discourse Analysis. The thought strategy driving all work is organized around concepts such as discourse, discursive scene, effects of recognition and ignorance, and ethos. Through the construction of scenes of antagonism between the individual with depression and society, the blog’s enunciator shapes an ethos, not as prostration or despondency, as one might expect, but as a place of power and resistance.
