Um barco que veleje nesse (in)formar: a história pública digital em Campina Grande (2009-2020).

Abstract

The popularization of the new technologies, in the end of the 20th Century, caused a series of modifications in the way humanity deals with the world around it, conducting to new ways of feeling and thinking. These expressions also interfere in the way how these individuals relate to the time and history, reconfiguring their perceptions about the past and directly interfering in the production and the consumption of narratives. In this event, we wonder about what kind of history is being produced and shared by the digital in Campina Grande, inland city of Paraíba, between 2009 and 2020. It was through the Digital Museum of SESI and the virtual museum Retalhos Históricos de Campina Grande that the main initiatives of a digital "history" of this County were identified. In this movement, we dialogued with many researchers that study the relationship between the society and the internet, as François Dosse, Serge Noiret, Anita Lucchesi, as well as the sociologist Manuel Castells and the philosophers Pierre Levy and Jorge Larrosa, to discuss the network society, the cyberspace and the sensitive experience provoked or experienced in these environments. In methodological terms, we worked with content analysis proposed by Laurence Bardin, for systematization of the collected data in the social networks, as well as the Compared History, marked out by the considerations of José d'Assunção Barros, that allowed the cross-check between the submitted proposals by the historical contents of museums. The Digital Public History, combined with the Cultural History, offered us subsidies to make a theoretical walk through the fonts, in between videos, photographies, hypertexts, interviews, posts etc., that allowed the finding that these two digital spaces act as memory places, such as Pierre Nora thought. These dissemination channels harness a particular historiographical orientation to narrate a so-called modern city in a constant development. They give new models to the so-called traditional speeches, results of a history that set the city past from a progressist and harmonious point of view.
