Abstract

The research project of internship research abroad aims to transfer knowledge and technologies about analyzes in digitized historical documents and social networks. On the one hand, we will receive training on data collection in social networks at the Gumelab laboratory at Freie Universitat Berlin. On the other hand, we will apply the digital research methods developed during the doctorate in the Revistas da América Latina e Caribe collection.This application will be significant to dimension the roles of Revista Americana and Revista do IHGB, which make up the main scope of the doctoral thesis, at the transnational level. Research will be parameterized according to the discussions in the seminar and groups. At the end of the work, a data panel will be built with all cataloged information. During the internship, research will also be carried out in analogue collections, from the Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut and from the collection of the International Commission for Intellectual Cooperation, based at UNESCO. The internship was built by the Center for Digital Humanities of Unicamp and Gumelab as a way of deepening research cooperation between Brazil and Germany. (AU)
