Abstract

Abstract: This article aims to analyze the processes of memory reconstruction in relation to the identity reconstruction of João Batista (1930 - 2017), a former patient compulsorily hospitalized in an asylum-colony for leprosy patients. In this way, the research works with four oral life history interviews, from which questions were raised about the applied methodology itself, the mechanisms of social reintegration and the process of reconstruction of the subject as a new individual after the years of seclusion.

Keywords: leprosy, oral history, memory
