This article presents results of a research that investigated memories and forgetfulness production related to the already extinct "Abrigo Municipal de Alienados Oscar Schneider", an institution that operated in Joinville, state of Santa Catarina, between 1923 and 1942, whose building was destroyed 50 years after its construction. The institution inauguration marked the beginning of Joinville's "modernization-urbanization" project, based on hygienic standards centered on the new prerogatives of modern science. To conduct this research, we traced documents that narrates the Alienated People's Shelter history: we found photographs, a postcard, oficial documents excerpts, and newspaper news. With these documents, we problematized fame and infamy production field in relation to some characters that were part of the institution happenings scene. Our vision to the Alienated People's Shelter aimed to tense up several voices that exist there to follow the insignificant trails of a history which corresponds to certain facts and subjects not considered dignified to be remembered: the suffering lives of the Shelter confinement experience.

Keywords : city; memory; fame; infamy; "Abrigo Municipal de Alienados Oscar Schneider".
