Educação e humanidades digitais


Book Description

Nos últimos anos, a relação com o conhecimento tem passado por profundas transformações, devido à expansão das tecnologias digitais e das redes de comunicação interativas. A maioria das pessoas tem experienciado intenso uso dessas tecnologias, o que tem afetado diretamente as suas estruturas mentais e sociais. As capacidades cognitivas dos sujeitos, nessas sociedades grafocêntricas digitais, passam a exigir novos e diferenciados processos de ensino-aprendizagem. Tal clareza exige, então, distintas perspectivas de análises sobre o mundo educacional, que está bem diferente — perante novos públicos, novas necessidades e novas possibilidades. Sendo um tema emergente e embrionário, ainda são muitas as lacunas da literatura científica da área, carecendo de novas reflexões e estudos. Assim, a presente obra busca contribuir com discussões de temáticas pontuais e necessárias para essa nova visão da educação, que busca nos seus estudantes o desenvolvimento de competências variadas, interdisciplinares, adequadas às demandas do presente milênio. Este livro visa atender aos interesses de quem pensa ou faz educação de qualidade, explorando as potencialidades das tecnologias emergentes.

Digital Humanities and Laboratories


Book Description

This book · includes contributions from a diverse, international range of scholars and practitioners and this volume examines the ways laboratories of all kinds contribute to digital research and pedagogy. · Acknowledging that they are emerging amid varied cultural and scientific traditions, the volume considers how they lead to the specification of digital humanities and how a locally situated knowledge production is embedded in the global infrastructure system. · consolidates the discussion on the role of the laboratory in DH and brings digital humanists into the interdisciplinary debate concerning the notion of a laboratory as a critical site in the generation of experimental knowledge. Positioning the discussion in relation to ongoing debates in DH, the volume argues that laboratory studies are in an excellent position to capitalize on the theories and knowledge developed in the DH field and open up new research inquiries. · clearly demonstrates that the laboratory is a key site for theoretical and political analyses of digital humanities and will thus be of interest to scholars, students and practitioners engaged in the study of DH, culture, media, heritage and infrastructure.







Multilingual Digital Humanities


Book Description

Multilingual Digital Humanities explores the impact of monolingualism—especially Anglocentrism—on digital practices in the humanities and social sciences. The volume explores a wide range of applied contexts, such as digital linguistic injustice, critical digital literacy, digital learning, digital publishing, low-resourced, minoritised or endangered languages in a digital space, and multilingual historical intertextuality. These discussions are situated within wider work on language technologies, language documentation and international (in particular European) language-based infrastructure creation. Drawing on both primary and secondary research, this four-part book features 13 diverse case studies of infrastructural projects, pedagogical resources, computational models, interface building, and publishing initiatives in a range of languages, including Arabic, French, Russian, Portuguese, Italian, German, Spanish, Bengali, Hindi, Malayalam, and Tamil. All the debates are contextualised within a wider cultural frame, thus bridging the gap between the linguistic focus of the multilingual initiatives and wider discussion of cultural criticism in DH. Multilingual Digital Humanities recognizes the digital as a culturally situated and organic multilingual entity embedding past, present, and future worlds, which reacts to and impacts on institutional and methodological frameworks for knowledge creation. It is essential reading for students, scholars, and practitioners working in digital humanities and digital studies.

Teacher Education Intersecting Comparative and International Education


Book Description

It includes contributions from leading academics based in Argentina, Canada, China, Columbia, Finland, Grenada, Hong Kong, Myanmar, Spain, South Africa, Turkey and the USA.
