El ámbito temático: un análisis de dominio de las conferencias nacionales y regionales de ISKO (Brasil, España y América del Norte)

This article is the result of a domain analysis of the articles published in the congresses of ISKO in Brazil, Spain and North America, aiming at identifying the themes and scientific collaboration characteristics, as an input for future studies on research trends and promoting the growth of the participation in each community. So it was characterized as an exploratory research focused on the analysis domain. The results showed that the Brazilian, North American and Iberian ISKO Chapters have been building a large space of scientific production with some convergent subjects like the epistemological questions, but also considering the regional specific ones. In this vein, the presence of researchers in the three studied academic spaces reveals a concern on establishing dialogical basis in KO research, whose main research institutions are São Paulo State University (UNESP, Brazil), University of Wisconsin Milwaukee (UWM, United States) and University Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M, Spain), which have deeply intensified their collaboration in joint publications.

O movimento interdisciplinar em Ciência da Informação: uma reflexão epistemológica

The complexity of interdisciplinarity as a category of analysis in contemporary discourses gain evidence. In information science, the practice of integration of scientific discourse aims, among others, the establishment and consolidation of their identity as a scientific field. Thus, the study aims to reflect on the epistemological status of information science as an interdisciplinary scientific field. To this end, we discuss the interdisciplinarity in the sciences and, under this understanding, address the interdisciplinary movement in Information Science and the real fruits of this process nowadays. The reflections undertaken in this study indicate the need to forward the discussions on interdisciplinarity as a focal point with the configuration of the related fields and their real benefits for Information Science.

Encontrabilidade da Informação: atributos e recomendações para ambientes informacionais digitais

At first, this paper presents the epistemological and theoretical bases that support the inclusion of an operational concept for the findability of information in the field of Information Science. In a second moment, it defines the key attributes and recommendations for the findability of information, with a view to their understanding in a practical perspective, from the epistemological and theoretical support presented. From a theoretical, exploratory, bibliographic and documentary study, the results reveal that epistemologically the findability of information fits in Information Science in post-custodial paradigm that focuses on access to information and is significantly influenced by Information and Communication Technologies. The theoretical conclusions of this concept focus on the evolution of the Web and from the perspective of the dimensions of language, where there is as pragmatic trend, as technological development that combines the actions taken by informational and institutional individuals in digital information environments. Given that these actions turn enable or not the findability of information, these individuals can be understood as mediators. Therefore, the concept of infocommunicational mediation is the basis for the findability of information. For its application in digital information environments, were defined attributes and guidelines which should be considered in the context of Information Architecture. The attributes characterizing the concept and guidelines point at practical actions for the design and for evaluation of the findability of information. Epistemological, theoretical and practical concepts addressed underpin the called operative concept in information science and should be further explored in this scientific field.

Formalização em Epistemologia Genética e Digrafos

One of the principal themes of genetic epistemology is the study of the psycho-genetic and historical-critical constitution of knowledge and its necessary structures. A main topic in this area is the relationship between abstract logical-mathematical structures and the epistemological-psychological structures of the epistemic subject. In genetic epistemology, formalizing and axiomatizing epistemological-psychological structures constitute one of the principal methods for showing the correlation between the two types of structures: the formalization of the epistemological-psychological structureresults in an axiomatic formal system which also expresses the abstractlogical-mathematical structure. In this context, it is interesting to note that some epistemological-psychological structures have been resistant to formalization and axiomatization, as in the case of the structure of concrete operational period groupings. Cases like these lead us to ask if there are general methods of formalizing that are consistent with the results and the general basis of genetic epistemology and genetic psychology, especially with regard to the claim that formalizing is a process, not a state, and that such general methods must therefore conform with the possibility of the continuous constitution of epistemological-psychological structures. In this paper we present some reflections, based on the general concepts of genetic epistemology and psychology and on the logical-mathematical structures of digraphs, on proposing a general method of formalization consistent with the results and the general basis of these two areas, including the possibility of the continuous constitution of epistemological-psychological structures.

Realismo, Nominalismo e Cartesianismo: Sentido e natureza das idéias como representações do mundo

The approach about the ideas, understood as metal representations, has practically bookmarked the whole Philosophy History, since the ancient Greece to the contemporary period. A lot of interpretations have been given to the meaning and to the nature of the ideas by many schools, among them lots of Realism slopes. This paper aims to present, from a historical and epistemological fragment, some theoretical perpectives, with emphasis in the realistic, nominalist and Cartesian proposals in relation to the formation and nature of the ideas.

Presença e crítica do 'inato' em Kant

This paper is part of a larger research entitled: “On Kant’s concept of innate”. Here I discuss Kant’s concept of the innate, as well as the interpretation of some scholars on the subject. The aim of the paper is to explain to what extent the notion of the innate is a central problem for the explanation of the origin of the elementary representations of knowledge and for the philosophico-epistemological bases of the entire criticism.

Gramsci e a Teoria Crítica das Relações Internacionais

This text has the following aims: a) to discuss Gramsci and Horkheimer’s epistemological status, joined authors in an theoretical approach known as Critical Theory of International Relations; b) to draft an analysis in order to show the mentioned and joined authors’ different epistemological statuses in the theoretical approach in discussion; c) to begin a reflection pointing the absence of accuracy in this approach - whose beginning happened with Canadian political scientist Robert W. Cox – due to joining different epistemological statuses and ignoring the theoretical consequences put by respective central Gramsci and Horkheimer’s concepts: hegemony and emancipation.

A pesquisa sobre o fazer pesquisa: uma análise de citação da literatura periódica em Ciência da Informação

Introduction: This paper considers that information science (IS) literature covers a diversity of thematics with low emphasis on researches about conducting research. The study analyzes the scientific production of authors who investigate about research methodology in the information science (IS) literature, and the references used to lay the foundation of the methodological issues regarding the area. It discusses the methodological and epistemological positions of the leading researchers highlighted as the most productive investigators on the subject in the country. Method: The research adopts the content analysis coupled with metric studies to contextualize the indicators related to productivity, to the types of authorship and citation analysis. The bibliographic coupling method is considered an analysis mode which analyzes concomitant citations. It develops a theoretical framework about the importance of scientific production analysis in different knowledge fields. The study investigates, from a theoretical perspective, the concepts about research methodology and the complementarity between methodology and epistemology in conducting research. Results: The results of the analysis showed that the production of the highlighted authors presents the methodology as a thematic focus to be applied to IS contexts, as well as a research object in the field. The prominent productivity of the authors is justified especially by deepening the meta studies about the ways to conduct research in IS. This study also identifies a trend to single-authored studies about the theme. Conclusions: The research considers that meta studies and applied and methodological studies are important to recognize a consistent theoretical and practical core in the IS area. Regarding the epistemological influences identified by the citation analysis, the study observes that the critical rationalist epistemology and the social and political epistemology are highlighted in the construction of the theoretical framework of the most productive authors.

Theoretical Referents in Knowledge Organization: A Domain Analysis of the Knowledge Organization Journal

Aiming at contributing to the epistemological characterization of the area of knowledge organization, our goal is to analyze the KO journal, since its creation in 1993, as a knowledge domain, from a nuclear community of the most productive and greater impact authors, analyzing the dialogue among citing authors and cited ones, and also the co-citations established by the citing authors. We worked with a corpus of 310 articles published between 1993 and 2011 produced by a total of 360 authors. The relatively more productive authors, a group geographically concentrated in Europe (37%), North America (44%) and Asia (19%), is clearly explained by the historical European origin of the ISKO and by an increasing North American presence along the years. Of the 33 most cited authors, 22 were co-cited in at least 6 works, which suggests that they are the theoretical referential nucleus of the area, in the studied journal. Finally, we observe that the area reveals theme cohesion and coherence in its production, enabling us to clearly visualize its theoretical referential nucleus and to confirm the role performed by the KO magazine as a catalyzing agent of international theoretical construction in the area.

Educação, paranoia e semiformação

This paper aims at showing the relationship between semi-formation by Adorno and the paranoia in the field of knowledge. According to Adorno, the emancipation is oriented by the dialectical criticism of the semi-formation and the para noia in knowledge. A critical analysis of Adorno's concepts of the semi-formation in knowledge is presented. This critical analysis is inserted in the critical context of the cur rently hegemonic epistemological ideas in the field of studies on education and knowl edge. In this category of knowledge considered through the educational perspective, the instrumental reason is concretely questioned in its restrictive form of knowledge. Thus, it is possible to show some issues about contemporary education matters discussed under the perspective of the thoughts of Adorno.
