SUMMARY:

The idea of sharing hosting services having as its main intermediary the Airbnb digital platform has a great discursive appeal about the possibility of providing tourists with a more personalized, authentic and genuine experience in the daily life of the cities visited. The so-called sharing economy has taken advantage with relative success of the potential for global interaction in the digital world made possible by the spread of the internet, to propose a business model considered to be totally disruptive. Thinking about the theoretical-methodological paths that the relationship between Digital Humanities and Geography make possible for the conformation of a critical thematic analysis, we proposed to assess whether, in the case of the city of Rio de Janeiro, the main port of entry for tourists in Brazil and the country's largest leisure tourist destination, the logic of sharing residential units for tourism purposes, in fact, enhances a disruptive spatial rebalancing in the provision of services for tourism in this city, historically characterized by alarming rates of economic concentration in its South Zone. The development of the dissertation is based on exploratory qualitative-quantitative research procedurally structured from a multidisciplinary bibliographic and documentary review mixed with critical analysis and interpretation of data, aiming to provide an overview of the issues related to the theme, deepening the discussion on the profile of the phenomenon in the area of and study. We hope, at the end of the research, to have worked with the real dimension of the phenomenon of economic, spatial and legal disruption that the sharing economy can cause wherever companies in the sector are installed; we also hope to be successful in a theoretically in-depth discussion on the nature of Digital Humanities as a field of knowledge and an area of scientific knowledge, in addition to evaluating how the relationship between technological development and knowledge production in the humanities can develop under a non-exclusive logic.
