Lines of Research

Since its creation, the Graduate Program in Information Science has promoted research aimed at epistemological, theoretical and practical development in its area of concentration, Information and Society, with emphasis on the study of phenomena related to the central processes of management, selection, processing, organization, retrieval, use and dissemination of information, mainly aiming to approach, explore, understand and explain these phenomena.

For this, the PGCIN works according to the following four lines of research:

Line of Research 1: Memory, Mediation and Knowledge Organization

It comprises interdisciplinary studies related to memory, mediation, organization and representation of knowledge, considering them as contributing elements for the construction of knowledge in the context of Information Science. In this scope, memory is an investigative pole at the intersections with culture, heritage, identities and their representations in the informational field. It brings together the mediation of information, understood as a dialogical, formative and emancipating process allied to critical reflection, imbricated in the production, organization, preservation and access to information. It covers epistemological and historical studies in the field of knowledge organization, as well as theoretical, methodological, critical and applied development in the representation of interdisciplinary knowledge and in the construction of knowledge organization systems.
