Abstract

Intense acceleration in daily, multiple crises and (dis)encounters cross us at all times and places, virtually or not. So it's important to consider: how can history manifest itself in these dynamics? Focusing on climate/environmental crises and the Instagram social network, thinking about the contributions of Public History(s) points to possibilities that go beyond the dissemination of knowledge and move towards the construction of knowledge that is attentive to social processes, their changes and tensions. In order to do this, we used the Public History and Environmental History literature to provide a basis for reflection on past issues. With regard to Instagram, we collected data from the metrics provided by the platform itself, which took into account the engagement with the Environmental Public History profile. Environmental History as an approach and Public History as a area of practice have broadened connections with audiences in the digital space.
