Esta pesquisa recuperou aspectos pouco conhecidos da história de Londrina (PR) entre 1929 e 1948, por meio de fotografias, pesquisa bibliográfica e de campo realizada junto aos primeiros habitantes da região. As entrevistas com 15 fontes selecionadas foram intermediadas por registros fotográficos do período recortado, num total de 50. Pretendeu-se, nessa tese, investir no procedimento metodológico que alia fotografias aos relatos de fontes orais, de forma a contribuir para a sua sistematização e eventual utilização em futuras pesquisas da mesma natureza. Nesta linha, pretendeu-se decifrar - segundo metodologia de desmontagem das imagens fotográficas, proposta por Boris Kossoy - as múltiplas realidades implícitas nos documentos iconográficos de forma a produzirem sentido. Na reunião dessas interpretações e dos relatos e histórias individuais e coletivas - intermediadas por imagens-, foi possível obter dados relevantes e ainda desconhecidos sobre a cidade, preencher lacunas em sua história assim como contribuir para fixação de sua memória no período assinalado / This research recovered little-known aspects of the history of Londrina (PR), between 1929 and 1948, through photographs, literature review and field study with interviews with the first inhabitants of the region. Interviews with 15 sources selected were mediated by photographic records of the specific period of time, a total of 50. It was intended, in this thesis, to invest in the methodological procedure that combines photographs with the testimony of oral sources in order to contribute to its systematization and eventual use in future studies of the same nature. In this line, we intended to decipher - according with photographic images dismantling methodology, proposed by Boris Kossoy - the multiple realities implied in the iconographic documents in order to produce meaning. In meeting these interpretations and reports and individual and collective histories through pictures, it was possible to obtain relevant and still unknown facts about the town and fill gaps in its history during the indicated period

(in English) The subject of this master thesis is a cognitive offloading, sometimes also called cognitive outsourcing, meaning the impact of new media on human cognitive abilities. This work describes the evolution of the theoretical concept of cognitive offloading, types of cognitive offloading and it's functioning in today's society. Following Daniel Wegner's work, it describes basic concepts such as group mind and transactive memory and it focuses on a specific area of cognitive offloading - the impact of mobile photography on human memory. The thesis summarizes results of existing studies in this field and presents the results of a replicated pilot study conducted with the students of Czech high school. The aim of this study was to find out if - and to what extent - does smartphones impact one's memory and cognitive abilities in daily life. The conclusion analyzes the limits of this work and outlines further research possibilities in this field.
