This article shall reflect on how emerging technologies and the so-called “spatial turn” impact the historian’s craft. Looking at the past, the authors identify historical antecedents of both tendencies in the second generation of the Annales School. Eyeing the present and the future, the authors advance the concept of “border space” as an analytical tool to illuminate characteristics and trends in the digitized production of knowledge about the past. The article argues that some of the key values that characterize this border space – open-source scholarship, horizontal collaboration, and the free circulation of knowledge – can stimulate more democratic methods of producing historical scholarship.

Jeffrey Lesser , Emory University
I am the Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Brazilian Studies and a History Department faculty member at Emory University in Atlanta (USA). I was named the first full-time faculty director of the Halle Institute for Global Research in 2017. I have been a visiting professor at the University of São Paulo’s Institute for Advanced Studies since 2015. In my current research on health, immigration, and the built environment I engage with researchers, health professionals, and patients. For the last four years I have been conducting archival research and observing Dr. Fernando Cosentino’s medical team at the Bom Retiro Basic Health Clinic in São Paulo, Brazil. This clinic is part of the Brazilian National Health Service, known as SUS.
Andrew G. Britt , University of North Carolina
I am a historian of contemporary Latin America and a digital scholarship developer with a national focus on Brazil. I work as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Liberal Arts at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (USA). My research is based in the city of São Paulo, Brazil – a frenetic, magnetic metropolis of more than 20 million. I com-pleted my PhD at Emory University in 2018, which was awarded honorable mention for Best Dissertation in the Humanities (Antonio Candido Prize) by the Latin American Stud-ies Association Brazil Section. I am currently revising the thesis into a book, titled The Paradoxes of Ethnoracial Space in São Paulo, 1930s-1980s. In my digital humanities work I am interested in the intersection of spatial computing and history, especially aug-mented reality and collaborative mapping projects that advance racial equity throughout the Americas. In 2022, I was awarded a Project Development Grant from the American Council of Learned Societies. In the same year I served as a dramaturg for Marina Zurita’s production Mother Tongue, which chronicled the lives of waste pickers in São Paulo.
Thomas D. Rogers , Emory University
Associate Professor (B.A., Williams College; Ph.D., Duke University). Modern Latin American history, especially Brazil; labor and environmental history; Afro-Latin Ameri-can history. I am interested in the patterns of mutual dependency and influence that devel-op between societies and their environments. My current book project, Agriculture’s En-ergy: Development and Hunger During Brazil’s Ethanol Boom, examines 20th century agricultural modernization. I use a singular Brazilian initiative from 1975 – the National Alcohol Program – as a vehicle to explore the mechanics of development and the role of agriculture in the military dictatorship’s planning. Taking this angle, I revisit persistent questions in recent Brazilian history: How and where did “modernization” take place? How did agricultural change contribute to broad patterns of regional differentiation? How can we understand the bureaucratic and environmental consequences of a major agricul-tural program being simultaneously a major energy program? How does this experience affect the standard narrative of the Green Revolution? In addition to its political, bureau-cratic, and environmental impacts, the ethanol boom reshaped patterns of agricultural la-bor.
