Resumo: This paper analyzes historical contents on the Wikipedia platform and its potential as a field of activities for historians. By approaching the platform as a global and multi-linguistic project, the article seeks to understand the relations among writing and knowledge dissemination in multiple language versions of a number of Wikipedia articles. By examining these articles with historical contents both in English and Portuguese, a survey of data on the temporal and spatial distribution of entries is carried out in the attempt to identify possible problems and biases in these contents. Finally, the article seeks to consider Wikipedia within a broader context of discussions regarding the role of historians vis-à-vis their audience and the memory disputes that permeate the social sphere. The results indicate a bias in the contents of the website’s entries on historical events and phenomena that took place in Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries, in both languages.

A partir da compreensão da plataforma como um projeto global e multilinguístico, o artigo busca entender as relações de escrita e de divulgação do conhecimento estabelecidas entre as versões em diferentes línguas da plataforma. Utilizando como objeto os verbetes de conteúdo histórico destacados na Wikipédia em inglês e português, é realizado um levantamento de dados sobre a distribuição temporal e espacial dos verbetes, buscando identificar possíveis problemas e vieses nesse conteúdo. Por fim, o artigo busca colocar a Wikipédia dentro de um contexto mais amplo de discussões sobre o papel do historiador no público e as disputas de memória que permeiam a esfera social. Os resultados indicam a existência de um viés no conteúdo dos verbetes em direção a eventos e fenômenos históricos na Europa dos séculos XIX e XX, em ambas as línguas.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2020-06-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/esbocos/article/view/2175-7976.2020.e6839110.5007/2175-7976.2020.e68391Esboços: histories in global contexts; Vol. 27 No. 45 (2020); 264-285Esboços: historias en contextos globales; Vol. 27 Núm. 45 (2020); 264-285Esboços: histórias em contextos globais; v. 27 n. 45 (2020); 264-2852175-79761414-722Xreponame:Esboços (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/esbocos/article/view/2175-7976.2020.e68391/43624Copyright (c) 2020 Pedro Toniazzo Terres, Lucas Tubino Piantainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTerres, Pedro ToniazzoPiantá, Lucas Tubino2020-06-26T16:44:04Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/68391Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/esbocos/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/esbocos/oaiportaldeperiodicos.bu@contato.ufsc.br||esbocos@contato.ufsc.br||2175-79761414-722Xopendoar:2020-06-26T16:44:04Esboços (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
