Entre o objeto e o sujeito: composição, diálogo e confluência na recuperação da informação em arquivos

Abstract

Information retrieval (IR) is investigated in several areas, among them Archival Science. When examining the concept of IR in the field of archival science, one can see the influence of theorists from Information Science (IS) and Computer Science. This paper focus to understand IR in relation to the so-called archival environments and to understand how IR has been exercised in publications of recent years under the aegis of elements that can compose visions of both objectivist and subjectivist natures - typical of a discussion already under development in the epistemological field of IS. From these traces we raised the problem: how are the issues and elements related both to the order of objectivity and to the subjectivity of IR and related issues in the archival field related? The research had a qualitative approach, based on a bibliographical survey. Collecting data was performed in digital portals of scientific journals and journals of related to Archival Science. We collected studies that deal with IR in archives in the last 5 years. The data analysis method used was content analysis. Findings of the research indicate that visions based on objectivity and subjectivity, considering the object-subject relationship, are not dichotomous.
