This article aims at analyzing the discourse involved in the city council program called "Recife, city of the people", from Foucault's archeology of knowledge perspective. The corpus of this research consists of six videos available on the Facebook® page of the city council of Recife in 2014, when government agency released the slogan "Recife, Cidade das Pessoas". The study is justified by the need of understanding how the political discourses are spread and how these discourses have no explicit assumptions. We believe that a better design of the influence of discourses, along with further clarification of social significance exercised by them, can contribute to a more democratic social life, which will be accessible to the entire population. For the present study, no theory was previously defined. The option for this construction enables the non-interference of external factors guiding the analyses. Data was analyzed without theoretical influences, so that the theoretical constructs emerged from the analysis rather than the reverse. However, the vision of authorship in relation to the concept of speech interferes with the analysis and serves as a theoretical lens through which data will be displayed. For results, two discursive formations were found: (1) the protection of the Government and (2) healthy lifestyles practices, with includes social, cultural and physical. This discursive formation is founded on the pillars of bio-politics and sustainability, quality of life and social change. It was noticed that the program has a goal it is to influence people's opinions about public spaces and mobility in a municipality. ; Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar o discurso envolvido em um programa intitulado "Recife, Cidade das Pessoas", sob a perspectiva da arqueologia do saber de Foucault. O corpus da pesquisa foi constituído por seis vídeos disponíveis no Facebook®, na página da prefeitura do Recife. O estudo é justificado pela necessidade de entender como os discursos políticos estão espalhados e como esses discursos não possuem premissas explícitas. Acreditamos que um melhor desenho da influência dos discursos, juntamente com mais esclarecimentos sobre o significado social exercido por eles, pode contribuir para uma vida social mais democrática, que será acessível a toda a população. Não houve uma definição apriorística de teorias para o presente estudo, de forma a reduzir a interferência de fatores externos na estruturação da análise. Os dados foram analisados sem influências teóricas, de modo que as construções teóricas emergiram da análise e não do contrário. No entanto, a visão da autoria, em relação ao conceito do discurso, interfere na análise e serve como uma lente teórica por meio da qual os dados foram exibidos. Como resultados, duas formações discursivas foram encontradas: (1) a proteção do Governo e (2) práticas de estilos de vida saudáveis, que inclui o aspecto social, cultural e físico. Estas formações discursivas alicerçam-se nos pilares da biopolítica e da sustentabilidade, qualidade de vida e mudança social. Observou-se que o programa tem como objetivo influenciar as opiniões das pessoas sobre espaços públicos e mobilidade naquele município.

International audience ; The article sets out to explore in a concise manner the archaeology of today's infrared visual culture, through some scientific and technological devices, discourses and practices that have led to the development of analogue infrared imaging from the second half of the 19th century up to the 1960s. We focus on some examples that show the origin of two instances where the contemporary uses of digital infrared intertwine and co-exist: firstly, the need to map what is invisible to the human eye and, secondly, the need to track data and manage information flows.

Archaeological data are usually inherently incomplete, heterogeneous, discontinuous and require frequent updates and possible adjustments. It is important to constantly create detailed documentation, which will precisely represent the actual situation. However, even the most precise figure is only an estimated representation of the documented object. Therefore, it is necessary to collect fully metric documentation and its professional archaeological interpretation. Acquiring correct and valuable underwaterdigital images for the archaeology purposes is not easy due to specific shooting conditions. It should be noted a number of limitations are unique to this type of imaging environment — the apparent extension of the focal length, the "disappearance" of colours, as well as a significant reduction in the transparency of the water environment. Therefore, the authors have made attempts to describe changes, in a much broader sense, in the quality of photogrammetric images that had been taken in various shooting conditions. Underwater and aerial images of two test fields were tested. First, the ground sampling distance of the INTOVA IC500 digital camera and the geometric accuracy of the acquired images were examined. Then, the impact of changes to the imaging conditions on the radio-metric resolution and colour projection were designated. In the last stage, the acquired images were used in practice — to assess the progress of the erosion process of an archaeological object, and also to comply its documentation in the form of vector drawing with the accuracy of mxy = ±0.5 mm. Keywords: photogrammetry and remote sensing, archaeology, underwater photogrammetry, resolution, ground resolved distance

This article discusses a Khalkha reincarnate ruler, the First Jebtsundampa Zanabazar, who is commonly believed to be a Géluk protagonist whose alliance with the Dalai and Panchen Lamas was crucial to the dissemination of Buddhism in Khalkha Mongolia. Zanabazar's Géluk affiliation, however, is a later Qing-Géluk construct to divert the initial Khalkha vision of him as a reincarnation of the Jonang historian Tāranātha (1575–1634). Whereas several scholars have discussed the political significance of Zanabazar's reincarnation based only on textual sources, this article takes an interdisciplinary approach to discuss, in addition to textual sources, visual records that include Zanabazar's portraits and current findings from an ongoing excavation of Zanabazar's Saridag Monastery. Clay sculptures and Zanabazar's own writings, heretofore little studied, suggest that Zanabazar's open approach to sectarian affiliations and his vision, akin to Tsongkhapa's, were inclusive of several traditions rather than being limited to a single one.
