The existence of the discourse that postulates the homogenization of scientific and academic writing in the process of constitution of text is the issue that triggered this research. In this sense, this study aims to analyze Brazilian scientific articles A1 of different areas of knowledge through elements that constitute the genres, theme, compositional form and style delimiting the aspects that tend to objectivism and subjectivism in texts. The work is guided in dialogic assumptions of Bakhtin’s Circle, concerning gender, objectivism and subjectivism and research developed according to the principles of New Studies of Literacy. The results show that: a) every utterance consists of subjective and objective elements; b) the aspects that show objectivity and subjectivity are predominantly marked in the compositional form (and architectural form) and in the style of the text, in dialogue with the theme; c) the articles of the different areas resemble, when dealing with elements that tend to objectivity, as compositional form and language resources; d) the articles differ when they present aspects that, although they are in the verbal materiality, find meaning in the extraverbal contexto, passing subjectivity as a thematic choice; variation in the number of authors in the text etc.; e) the existence of objectivity and subjectivity nuances allows the characterization of writing in these areas in a heterogeneous way.
