O DESEMPREGO É A LEI: A REPRESENTAÇÃO DO DESEMPREGO NAS HQS DO JUIZ DREDD (1979-1985)
Authors: Silva de Oliveira Lucas
Published: November 2024

Publicado originalmente em 1977 na revista britânica em quadrinhos 2000 A.D., o Juiz Dredd é o personagem em quadrinhos mais famoso do Reino Unido. Escrito por John Wagner e Carlos Ezquerra, Dredd foi concebido como uma sátira à retórica do Partido Conservador britânico. O personagem representou em suas páginas as críticas dos autores contra as políticas de segurança da Primeira-ministra Margaret Thatcher (1979-1990). Contudo, apesar do tom crítico e satírico com as políticas duras contra o aumento da criminalidade no Reino Unido, fruto de uma massiva crise econômica e política que tomou o país a partir da década de 1960, Dredd também serviu de veículo para as críticas dos autores contra as políticas econômicas de Thatcher que causaram um enorme impacto social no país. Entre 1979 e 1986, o desemprego no país foi massivo e era constante nas páginas dos jornais. Dessa forma, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as representações políticas contra as reformas econômicas de Margaret Thatcher e os Conservadores nas páginas das histórias do Juiz Dredd.

Authors: Soares Franciele Silva , Lopes Leonardo da Silva , Bonete Wilian Junior
Published: November 2024

É inegável a importância da divulgação científica para a história, bem como suas relações com as tecnologias digitais. Nesse sentido, considera-se necessário pensar novas abordagens para a difusão do conhecimento histórico nos ambientes digitais, antagônicas aos negacionismos e revisionismos existentes na atualidade. O meme se apresenta como uma linguagem capaz de atingir esses objetivos. Mediante a inserção de temas e conteúdos históricos nos memes, geralmente com humor, é possível estimular o desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico e o debate sobre a história na comunidade digital, tendo em vista a aproximação do conhecimento acadêmico com o grande público. Deste modo, este trabalho visa apresentar algumas experiências iniciais do projeto de extensão intitulado “Sobre História (Pública)”, vinculado ao Laboratório de Ensino de História (LEH/UFPEL) e ao Portal Clio HD.

Authors: Oliveira Wellington do Rosário de
Published: November 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as ilustrações criadas pelo caricaturista baiano Cícero Valladares, publicadas na revista Vida Policial (1925-1927), no Rio de Janeiro. Essas ilustrações retratam a trajetória de Affonso Coelho, um célebre ladrão conhecido no início do século XX por seus roubos a grandes joalherias. O estudo visa problematizar como essas representações contribuíram para a construção e disseminação de estereótipos que visavam discriminar certos grupos sociais, dos quais Affonso Coelho fazia parte. No quadro teórico-metodológico, procurou-se elaborar uma “história em quadrinhos”, já que as imagens foram publicadas separadamente e sem textos. As principais fontes desta pesquisa estão digitalizadas e disponíveis na Hemeroteca, no site oficial da Biblioteca Nacional.

Authors: Freire Keline Pereira
Published: November 2024

O presente trabalho busca refletir sobre a chamada “era digital”, sobretudo no que se refere aos impactos que as mudanças desse tempo exercem sobre a maneira como nos relacionamos com o passado e construimos a história. A partir da análise de obras como Bauman (2001), Crary (2014), Chul-Han (2017), Dunker (2017) e Zuboff (2020), buscar-se-á apreender três faces desse debate: 1 Os impactos da era digital sobre a vida e o cotidiano; 2 A construção da subjetividade e a relação com a ideia de verdade e conhecimento e 3 As implicações do digital sobre a escrita da história e o papel do historiador. Discutir tais questões possibilita pensar sobre a potência da história enquanto área de conhecimento, que também tem sido modificada pela era digital.

Authors: Ibrahim Mohammad Reza , Moshtaq Said Abdul Samad , Natiqi Mohammad
Published: November 2024

This study investigates urban segregation in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, utilizing a multifaceted theoretical framework that integrates various explanatory models of segregation. The research targets the general population of Kabul, with a sample size of 233 individuals selected through a non-probabilistic cluster sampling technique. Data were collected using a comprehensive questionnaire focused on the Afghan context, incorporating insights from relevant studies. The analysis was conducted using SPSS software, employing both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Demographic characteristics and participant responses in ethnically dominated areas were summarized using frequencies and percentages, while key variables were examined using measures of central tendency, dispersion, and distribution, including mean, standard deviation, variance, skewness, and kurtosis. The segregation tendencies of Kabul residents were analyzed using T-test, ANOVA and Spearman correlation. The results reveal a pronounced level of segregation within Kabul, with significant implications including the reinforcement of ethnocentric attitudes, the preservation of distinct subcultural identities, enhanced feelings of community security, and increased intra-group political and social engagement. The study found that followers of Shia Islam tend to segregate themselves from other religious groups, while the Pashtun ethnic group shows the lowest tendency toward segregation. Additionally, Kabul citizens tend to live among their own religious groups and the lower the level of education of individuals, the greater their tendency to separation.
