From a psychiatric institution to a graveyard: examining the foundation and transformation of the "abrigo municipal de alienados Oscar Schneider". Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.1, pp. 1-22. ISSN 1677-1168.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2020v26n1p1-21.

The present article aims to report the experience resulting from a research focused on the unveiled memories of a cemetery in the city of Joinville, Santa Catarina State (SC), in Brazil. The history about the cemetery tract of land is connected to the existence, in the past, of two institutions for the confinement of infamous subjects: A Lunatic Asylum (1923-1942) and a Prison for Politicians (1942-1945). Listening to the characters narrating their experiences linked to this place, and the flâneur's; strategies as a manner to allow oneself to be carried away when searching for the memories by what the senses are made up, were the fundamentals of the exercise of "fictionalizing" about this certain object of study, starting from a sensitive relation with this field, a "City of the Dead", where it was possible to listen to the voices that still pulse in it and tension the history of this place and its apparent state of silence within the city.
