Intinerários Transatlânticos Da Filosofia Da Informação Em Iberoamérica E Caribe: cartografias filosófico-epistemológicas em Biblioteconomia e Ciência da Informação no século XXI

Abstract

The problem research is: how can we recognize the historical philosophical dilemmas and the contemporary socio-critical development of a philosophy of information in Library and Information Science (LIS), based on a historical epistemology, in Caribbean-Iberoamerican context? The basic theoretical framework is anchored in the dimensions between LIS epistemology and the theoretical plurality of knowledge organization (KO), the epistemological foundation and the institutional constitution of the KO in the international context and its repercussion in Brazil, as well as the influence of the philosophy of language platform under the epistemological constructs in LIS. The methodological procedures are based on the Ludwig Wittgenstein (1979, 1992a,b, 2002, 2005) methodological-philosophical approach. The operationalization of the research collection stages takes place from three methodological perspectives: bibliographic, theoretical and conceptual. For the purposes of constructing the corpora, for this stage of the research, the database consulted was the Base de Dados Referenciais de Artigos de Periódicos em Ciência da Informação(BRAPCI) from Brazil. The search for a given “philosophy of information” in a para-territorial context (focus in Caribbean-Iberoamerican context) in LIS from the descriptors: philosophy of information; philosophy; social theory; epistemology; theory; culture theory; critical theory; theory of knowledge; political theory, present in the field literature in conjunction with geographic demarcation descriptors (continent, country, province, state, city, territory). The study sources were compiled and managed by Zotero software. The results bring evidence of philosophical-epistemological production in thegeographical context investigated, demonstrating the paths of a structural bibliographical production, of foundation, to the growing set of philosophical-informational approaches with a political, social and cultural approach.
