Summary:Positive Psychology has recently attempted at "enlarging the paradigm," explaining the understanding of the human experience of the world. By contrast, for Critical Psychology, "enlarging the paradigm" means moving away from an individualist conceptualization of the psychological. The present article aims at "redistributing the Psychological" toward directions already marked by cultural and discursive conceptions of human experience. Within a transdisciplinary frame, labeled as Psycho-semiotics, Diatextual Analysis has been adopted to investigate the rhetorical modes used by socially excluded enunciators (drug users, immigrants, atypical workers, elderly people, and some categories of churchgoer) to elaborate their own experience of well-being through affective labor and self care.
