Reflexões teóricas sobre a construção paradigmática da Ciência da Informação: considerações acerca do(s) paradigma(s) cognitivo(s) e social

Abstract

It presents a research about the theoretical and epistemological processes that influence the formation of the cognitive paradigm of Information Science (IS), noting the emergence of social paradigm within the domain analysis and hermeneutics of information. For this, we adopted the reflections of classical and contemporary authors, like Thomas Kuhn, Boaventura Santos, Capurro, Hjørland and Albrechtsen. We conclude that the perception paradigm in IS is a consolidated issue, however the social paradigm is still under construction, which will allow the creation of perceptions, interpretations and contributions in order to fill gaps left by other paradigms.
