This monograph is the result of research and scientific initiation aims to identify and understand the practical use of written language at the colony hospital Dr. Francisco Ribeiro Arantes (Pirapitingui), reference on treatment of leprosy in the State of São Paulo, Itu. Its focus is on the set of social practices related to the use, function and impact of writing, the study of literacy in interns of this colony hospital (Barton e Hamilton, 2000; Kleiman, 1995; Street, 2004). We take for granted that there are differences between literacy practices located in urban settings and strongly influenced for the bureaucracy, for means of mass communication and education and those situated in the community, developed by people in a situation of segregation, with little or none educational level and also would need to meet the demands of social use of writing, embodied in the relationships themselves that context (Hamilton e Barton, 2000). In the context of a hospital-asylum were examined and supported literacy activities learned and even those, hindered the lives of interns and the ways of interaction with the writing. In addition to making visible the literacy situated in this context, this research sought to map and inventory texts circulating and received in this community, through social practices situated in areas of daily life. It‟s a qualitative research whose data and materials involved participant observation, preliminary conversations and interviews with four subjects. The results allow to consider that much of the writing through community activities, such as those conducted in the domestic sphere (shopping), health (consultation, treatments, plasters), religion (mass, worship, assistance spiritualist etc.) and citizen participation (meetings with social management, charitable bank, receiving a pension or retirement, compensation etc.). We note that the interns have, in most of the cases, mediators (workers of social management, charitable bank, relatives, friends) who support them in order to take actions which the subjects couldn‟t do with autonomy, generating the creation of social networks (Barton e Hamilton, 2004) community. The impact of this research refers to a sight about educational issues, of social relevance to understanding the ways in which subjects in a position social vulnerable interact and get hold of cultural universe of the written culture, from the perspective of studies of literacy.
