Abstract: History is the science that analyzes human records, and digital media are new supports with specific characteristics. We must consider them historical sources, applying criteria that show the different views and narratives that seek public legitimacy with various strategies. Digital Humanities study the relationship between emerging technologies, connected people, and society. Social networks and digital media stand out, seeking to please users and favor algorithms. This generates power relations, turning virtual environments into spaces for narrative disputes and political mobilizations, which can lead to struggles for demands or related violence. The culture of algorithms has changed the way people obtain information and reinterpreted languages. School spaces and the revision of traditional ideas require in-depth debate. The democratization of technology requires a critical assessment of its use. Digital technologies and media must be democratized. This Thematic Axis considers that the applied humanities and social sciences are unable to persuade people with digital media content. The following question arises: how should the sciences position themselves in relation to digital content? What links are being established between teaching, research, technologies, and digital media? Researchers can adopt strategies such as simplifying language, using social media, creating visual content, and promoting accessible events to improve communication with the public. How can scientific narratives be developed on Web 3.0 and in the Metaverse? We propose reflecting on the production of digital academic content, understanding its scope and problems in an interdisciplinary manner. We seek studies on the interaction between digital technologies, media, and society in the areas of History, Education, Digital Humanities, Information Science, and Communication, with an emphasis on Information Production, Mediation, and Management, especially in Information Literacy, Digital Inclusion, and Social Librarianship.

 

Objectives:

•    We will discuss media as spaces for political mobilization and power struggles;

•    We will problematize the concept of digital technologies, their uses and appropriations, and access to information in Digital Culture;

•    We will discuss social media as a humanized space for combating discrimination, problematizing the relationship between them, consumerism, and violence;

•    We will point out forms of democratization and technological and digital citizenship;

•    We will address academic discussions around what has become known as “Digital Humanities”;

• We will analyze social and digital media in relation to TDIC, research, teaching, knowledge construction, and the development of Digital Humanities; and

• Production, Mediation, and Management of Information in various amb
