This paper aims to revisit the intergenericity, a concept that deals with genre mixture. Based on Bakhtin's reflections (2006 [1953]) on reelaboration and genre mixture, we seek arguments to support the thesis that the concept of intergenericity, as it has been proposed by Text Linguistics, does not account for all the different forms of text in which genres are mixed. We propose three different types of genre mixture: the prototype intergenericity mixture, characterized by the fusion of traces of, at least, two genres; the casually occurring genre mixture; that consists of genres that do not necessarily combine, but that coexists in a symbiotic relationship, considering a common communicative purpose; and the interspersed genre mixture, which involves genres that can belong to different enunciative scenes.
