Esta dissertação é resultado de um estudo sócio-histórico e tem como objeto o Fracasso Escolar. Como aporte teórico-metodológico parte de Reinhart Koselleck, aproximando-se da história dos conceitos, e de Pierre Bourdieu, principalmente a partir da noção de "excluídos do interior" reflexões sobre o Estado. O objetivo principal foi compreender os significados do Fracasso Escolar, como conceito, a partir da impressa periódica de ampla circulação, nas décadas de 1980, 1990 e 2000. Optou-se por realizar a investigação assumindo a versão digitalizada do jornal Folha de S. Paulo como fonte. A investigação considerou as peculiaridades metodológicas da fonte histórica digital e indicou a operação com documentos digitais como opção fecunda na historiografia contemporânea. O recorte temporal estabeleceu-se a partir da escolha da fonte e de um levantamento prévio onde foi indicado o período de maior recorrência nos discursos sobre o Fracasso Escolar. Considerando a polissemia do conceito, a partir da História dos Conceitos, o corpus empírico da pesquisa foi composto partindo da busca pelos descritores: Fracasso Escolar, Sucesso Escolar, Reprovação Escolar e Repetência Escolar, sendo localizados 207 artigos no período destacado. Na análise dos artigos importou localizar as narrativas em termos de composição do jornal, identificar os autores e os indivíduos envolvidos nessa discussão e, ainda, compreender as causas do Fracasso Escolar anunciadas nas narrativas. O estudo contribui para pensar nas condições de possibilidade desse conceito, o Fracasso Escolar na história brasileira. Além disso, aponta para um certo crescimento da projeção do conceito no jornal Folha de S. Paulo, seja através do crescente número de artigos localizados nas últimas décadas, como também, na ampliação do espaço físico atribuído a este no jornal. Sobre os indivíduos presentes nos discursos analisados, observou-se a centralidade das vozes de especialistas e do Estado. A investigação indicou ainda, sincronia nas causas junto a polissemia do conceito, situando três focos de temas: extra-escolar, sujeitos e intraescolar. / This dissertation is the result of a socio-historical study and its object is School Failure. As a theoretical-methodological contribution from Reinhart Koselleck, approaching the conceptual history, and Pierre Bourdieu, mainly from the understanding of "excluded from the interior" and as reflections on the State. The main objective was conceived as the meaning of School Failure, as a concept, from a newspaper of wide circulation, in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. It was decided to carry out a survey assuming a digitized version of the Folha de S. Paulo as source. The research considers the methodological peculiarities of the digital history source and indication of an operation with digital documents as a fruitful option in the contemporary historiography. The period was established based on the choice of the source and on the previous survey where the period of greatest recurrence was noticed in the speeches about School Failure. The study takes into consideration the polysemy of the concept, from the History of Concepts, the empirical corpus of the research with the compound by the researchers: School Failure, School Success, School Reprobation and School Repetition, with 207 articles being located in the highlighted period. In the analysis of the articles it was important to locate the narratives in terms of composition of the newspaper, to identify the authors and the individuals involved in this discussion, as well as causes of School Failure announced in the narratives. The study contributes to understand about the conditions of choice of the concept, School Failure in Brazilian history. In addition, it points to a certain growth of the projection of the concept in Folha de S. Paulo newspaper, through the growing number of articles located in the last decades, as well as in the expansion of the physical space assigned to it in the newspaper. Regarding those present in the analyzed discourses, let us observe a centrality of the voices of experts and the State. An investigation indicated, synchronized in the causes next to a polysemy of the concept, locating three focus areas: extra-school, subjects and in-school.

abstract: Computational tools in the digital humanities often either work on the macro-scale, enabling researchers to analyze huge amounts of data, or on the micro-scale, supporting scholars in the interpretation and analysis of individual documents. The proposed research system that was developed in the context of this dissertation ("Quadriga System") works to bridge these two extremes by offering tools to support close reading and interpretation of texts, while at the same time providing a means for collaboration and data collection that could lead to analyses based on big datasets. In the field of history of science, researchers usually use unstructured data such as texts or images. To computationally analyze such data, it first has to be transformed into a machine-understandable format. The Quadriga System is based on the idea to represent texts as graphs of contextualized triples (or quadruples). Those graphs (or networks) can then be mathematically analyzed and visualized. This dissertation describes two projects that use the Quadriga System for the analysis and exploration of texts and the creation of social networks. Furthermore, a model for digital humanities education is proposed that brings together students from the humanities and computer science in order to develop user-oriented, innovative tools, methods, and infrastructures. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Biology 2014

This public history thesis project experimented with the application of new technology in creating an educational resource aimed at twenty-first century public audiences. The project presents the history, musicology, and historiography of Afro-American slave music in the United States. In doing so, the project utilizes two digital media tools: VuVox, to create interactive collages; and VisualEyes, to create digital visualizations. The purpose of this thesis is to assess how the project balances the goals of digital history, public history, and academic history. During the production of the Afro-American Slave Music Project, a number of the promises of digital history were highlighted, along with several of the potential challenges of digital history. In designing the project, compensations had to be made in order to minimize the challenges while maximizing the benefits. In effect, this thesis argues for the utility of digital history in a public setting as an alternative to traditional, prose-based academic history.

With digital media and the web becoming increasingly pervasive in our everyday lives, few historians have considered in depth the impact that this is having on the ways that history is represented and communicated in the public sphere. This thesis is an examination of how the practice of public history in Australia is being reshaped in the Web 2.0 environment. In the context of new media theory, public history practice is considered in relation to identifiable changes in the ways the web is used and understood. / The public historian’s concern with interpreting the past to a public audience means that changing social practices and information patterns are pertinent to their work. This thesis highlights the ways in which different forms of history are being produced, distributed and consumed on the web. It focuses on the potential role of the web user as an active producer of personal and creative interpretations of the past and on how experimental public history practices in the Web 2.0 environment have emerged in response to changing audiences. / This study argues that the rise of Web 2.0 is reflected by personalised, ubiquitous, democratic and innovative public history practices on the web. Through an in depth analysis of The Powerhouse Museum collection search and YouTube as case studies, this thesis shows how increased participation, the proliferation of user-generated content, social networking and existing practices by users in the Web 2.0 environment reshapes public history. / This thesis goes beyond conceiving of the web as a site of historical source material, both digitised and born-digital, to an understanding of the value of participatory media and informal communication in enabling the sharing of historical knowledge and materials between and among networks of people on the web.

Digitization that has enabled instant access to vast numbers of archival, historical images, demands a new paradigm for the use of visual imagery in historical research. This thesis proposes a new form of historiography in the digital medium, an image-based narrative mode for authoring and reading history. I propose a digital model for conveying history through the visual record, as an alternative to the printed book. Unlike the quantitative “big data” approach to digital humanities, this research explores visuality itself. In a practice-led approach, the research addresses both aspects of historiography: (1) a method of historical representation; and (2) original historical work on a selected topic. The testbed for historiographic and narrative experiments which led to the model was my case study on the Boxer Uprising in China, c. 1900. While many written histories of the Boxer Uprising exist, I collected a large portion of its extensive visual record for the first time. Sources from around the world, in a variety of media, were assembled into a digital data set that reveals previously unexplored historical themes. A series of visual narratives built in the case study culminated in a proposed “Visual Narrative Field” model. In this model, meaning emerges in the patterns observed between images within a complex visual field. The model vertically integrates three narrative approaches in order to support alternating cognitive modes used to read texts and perceive images. Linear concentration is blended with the non-linear exploration of interactive forms. The model provides historians with a much-needed tool for authoring narrative through relationships between images in a scalable approach. Due to digitization, visual databases are easily assembled, and images are as easily reproduced as written text. The Visual Narrative Field model takes advantage of the characteristics of the newly-digitized visual record, providing a means of authoring visual narrative that can be comprehended without the use of extensive written text. The model thus creates an unprecedented image-based method for performing and presenting historical research.

[pt] A proposta deste trabalho versará sobre buscar entender como a onda conservadora que assola o país, mais especificamente a área da Educação e o Ensino de História, acabou por influenciar o cotidiano dos professores em sala de aula e os mesmos passaram a ser considerados grandes inimigos por parte de negacionistas. Nesse sentido, as origens e embasamentos para os ataques conservadores serão demonstrados e os seus mentores explicitados, tais como Olavo de Carvalho, Leandro Narloch e suas práticas. Veremos os impactos no cotidiano do ensino de História principalmente através da atuação do Movimento Escola Sem Partido (MESP) e perceberemos, por exemplo, que a chamada doutrinação ideológica de que os professores são acusados, na verdade, possui uma direção e uma causa muito direcionada: Os professores de História e Ciências Humanas. Também será percebido as formas como o MESP se aproxima de grupos e partidos políticos com temáticas conservadoras, apropriando-se de suas pautas, para que assim possa se alavancar no cenário nacional. Para além disso, a resposta dos professores de História e as novas formas de se discutir essa Ciência, principalmente através da História Digital. Veremos como esse movimento de ocupar as mídias digitais e a disputa desse espaço com os Negacionistas começam a ser feitos pelos especialistas da área e como há a demonstração de que o ocorrido nos espaços acadêmicos não são Balbúrdias, mas sim, Ciência de alta qualidade e complexidade. Essa resposta será buscada através de um pequeno mapeamento sobre canais dos mais variados tipos, mas que prezam pela divulgação científica de linguagem acessível para os simpatizantes da área e como uma maneira de combater o obscurantismo negacionista que nos cerca. / [en] The purpose of this work is to seek to understand how the conservative wave that is plaguing the country, more specifically the area of Education and History Teaching, has ended up influencing the teachers daily lives in the classroom, and how they started to be considered great enemies by part of Negationists. In this sense, the origins and grounds for conservative attacks will be demonstrated and their mentors made explicit, such as Olavo de Carvalho, Leandro Narloch and their practices. We will see the impacts on the daily teaching of History mainly through the work of the School Without Party Movement (Movimento Escola Sem Partido - MESP) and we will see, for example, that the ideological indoctrination of which teachers are accused, in fact, has a direction and a cause specifically targeting History and Human Sciences teachers. This work will also analyse how MESP approaches groups and political parties with conservative themes and how the appropriation of its guidelines can leverage itself in the national scenario. In addition, this work will also focus on the response of History teachers and the new ways of discussing this Science, mainly through Digital History. We will see how this movement to occupy digital media and the dispute over this space with Negationists are both done by specialists in the area, concluding that a demonstration of what has happened in academic spaces is not a kerfuffle, but rather, Science of high quality and complexity. This answer will be sought through a small mapping of channels of the most varied types, which value the scientific dissemination of accessible language to supporters of the area and are a way to combat the negationist obscurantism that surrounds us.

Directement inspirée de P. Ethington et son projet de "situer le passé" (placing the past), cette thèse adopte une démarche spatiale pour « rematérialiser », « réincarner » et « repolitiser » l'histoire de la publicité à Shanghai (1905-1949), à la fois dans la presse locale (Shenbao, North China Daily News) et dans les rues de la ville. Refusant tout usage métaphorique de l'espace, cette thèse emprunte aux différentes « sciences de l'espace » pour tourner autour de l'objet publicitaire et l'appréhender dans ses multiples dimensions. Dans la première partie, la démographie et géopolitique sont convoquées pour prendre la mesure des populations et des territoires publicitaires (chapitres 1 et 2). La deuxième partie propose une sociologie des acteurs de la profession naissante (chapitre 3) et de la production/consommation (chapitre 4) afin de démonter la « fabrique » publicitaire. La troisième partie ouvre un observatoire de ses paysages et saisit les espaces publicitaires comme un « laboratoire » de la « modernité » à Shanghai (chapitres 5 et 6). La dernière partie s'efforce de remettre l'histoire spatiale en mouvement en retraçant les circulations et les rythmes publicitaires (chapitres 7 et 8). Au-delà, la démarche spatiale de cette thèse vise à « faire une place » à l'objet publicitaire dans l'historiographie. Nourrie de matériaux divers (presse, archives, photographies, croquis, cartes, statistiques), elle propose une alternative à l'histoire des représentations et apporte un autre éclairage sur l'histoire urbaine. Articulée à une plateforme ad hoc (MADSpace) (http://madspace.org/) qui en est le prolongement hypertextuel, cette thèse ouvre une réflexion sur les nouvelles manières de faire et d'écrire l'histoire à l'ère numérique. / Directly inspired by Philip Ethington's proposal on "placing history", my dissertation offers a spatial approach to the history of advertising in modern Shanghai (1905-1949). Based on various materials (press, archives, photos, sketches, graphs, maps, trees), this spatial trend aims to shift the gaze from mainstream cultural approach (focused on representations visible on press advertisements) to a spatial and material approach of advertising, with a genuine concern for the physical aspects of advertisements. The first part (chapter 1 and 2) is devoted to mapping and measuring the populations and territories of advertising in Shanghai, both in the local press (Chinese newspaper Shenbao and British North-China Daily News), as well as within the city. The second part examines the actors who made and inhabited these spaces, namely the emerging advertising profession (chapter 3) and the actors involved in the production or consumption of advertised products (advertisers/manufacturing companies, brands/products, markets/consumers) (chapter 4). Chapter 5 is devoted to advertising “landscapes” - a term that I used as an operative concept to replace the overused, and often misused, notion of representation - in order to cover every dimension of advertisements (their physical environment at various scales, the copy surface, the discourses they carried). Chapter 6 offers to take advertising spaces as an ideal observatory for examining tensions, conflicts and other forms of relationships surrounding advertising, as well as a "laboratory" for inventing urban modernity – that is, new ways of conceiving and living the city in modern Shanghai. As spatial approaches are often blamed for “freezing” history, my dissertation eventually attempts to trace the circulations and rhythmic patterns between the printed and urban spaces, within and outside Shanghai (chapters 7 and 8). Beyond the "terrain", my dissertation strives to take advantage of the new resources available to historians in the digital age. The digital platform MADspace (http://madspace.org/), which has been especially designed as a digital companion to this PhD Projet, makes the assumption that the digital ecology offers unexpected opportunities for renewing research questions and methodologies in the field of (Chinese, urban) history.
