This article relates the notion of production conditions, as defined by the French Discourse Analysis, and the history of the constitution of biographical genres as linguistic materiality. The aim is to understand how the production conditions, by including the subject and circumstances, and producing images about the present and the past of characters, build a notion of humanization in each moment of history, considering the main biographical texts cited by historians of the genre. Thus, we seek to verify how, despite the transparency with which the word "humanization" has been used in studies in the area of Communication, this notion is the result of imaginary projections built by ideology and based on the discursive memory of biographical and journalistic genres.
KEYWORDS: Humanization; Production conditions; Discourse; Biographical genres.
