Mapeamento dos espaços de exibição de Juiz de Fora: historiografia, mapas interativos e um passeio pela cidade

Abstract

This project is a theoretic and practical discussion of the interactive map as a research tool for cinema histories. It tries to locate itself in an interdisciplinary camp where images, interactive interfaces, digital databases, and specifically the interactive digital map, are used in history research, and in this case, in cinemagoing history projects. The intention is to understand a little of the competition of narratives involved in this place. Next, there’s a brief description of websites, in a search for references on how interfaces deal with different kinds of content, of what is possible to do in our project. In its practical portion, the objective is to create a digital map of exhibition spaces in Juiz de Fora (Minas Gerais), as the “pilot” of a tool, or a presentation format that can be adopted by the online platform of Minas é Cinema research project. This text describes the map creation process, as well as the reflections that arose from it.
