Vol. 48 No. 3 (2023): Media, Technology and History: Research, Memory and Teaching

With the growing popularity of the Internet, digital media, and digital technologies over the past twenty years, it has become important to discuss the extent to which these cultural products have transformed communication and access to information. These changes have created new consumer needs, transformed social interactions, and reshaped relationships between subjects, time, and space. In addition to concerns about the variety of devices on the market, the ways in which they have been incorporated into social imaginaries, and the ways in which they have altered social relations, it is essential that researchers and teachers from a variety of knowledge fields incorporate these debates into their research and teaching practices. In light of these issues, the aim of this Thematic Dossier is to accept papers that will broaden the debate on research dedicated to different media - digital and analog - and their historical and pedagogical interfaces; provoke a debate on the field of humanities and digital technologies, their methods, approaches and sources; problematize the use of digital technologies and digital media in the teaching-learning process of the most diverse fields of knowledge; raise questions about the publication of historical, anthropological and social knowledge; problematize the impact of fake news on social networks and digital media; and discuss the impact of these technological innovations on traditional, indigenous and/or quilombola communities, as well as on the generation of new forms of articulation and political action, allowing the emergence of social movements organized on new bases and with new repertoires. By proposing this Thematic Dossier, we want to open the possibility of dialogue in the field of research and teaching, where researchers and teachers can present their completed or ongoing research.
