Abstract

Writing memories is a way of keeping some of our remembrances alive. In incarceration environments, this search for memories is constant, thus this exercise allows escaping from reality. In this perspective, this research aims to enhance the interest for writing (auto)biographical genres in one Female Hospitalization Unit e, therefore, for literary literature. The theoretical framework is represented by researchers of the autobiographical-memories genre (EIBER et al., 1999; RADVANSKY et al., 2005). The methodology includes a reflection about the imagetic text present in the book, Becos da Memória, by Conceição Evaristo. The data for analysis is constituted by produced memories from the hospitalized teenagers. The research showed as a result the push to the reading and writing practice and reflection about their lifes.
