Supported by Baitello Junior's diagnosis about the sedated condition of the human, we understand that a sedated life presupposes the poverty of experience, consequently, the difficulty in registering/constructing memories. In order to identify the existence of Temporary Autonomous Zones, considered as possible loopholes in the logic of sedation, through the phenomenological perspective, we visited a cemetery in Sorocaba-SP, in order to experience narratives contained in epitaphs. We start from the premise that epitaphs are an attempt to narrate, concisely, the diverse experiences that made up someone's life. The narratives found exposed the abandonment of the dead, the repetition of jargon and the breaking of expectations in the relation between imagined narratives and narratives found by the authors of the text.
