| description | The purpose of this paper, considering the relevance of Shera thoughts and its repercussions, is to reposition, in epistemological-historical terms, Jesse Shera’s approaches and their impacts according to a relation between life and work of the epistemologist. Without the intention of an exhaustive discussion, the purpose is to understand some unequivocal relations between the Shera critique for the context of its theoretical formulation and the consequences of this approach contrary to some tendencies originating from the technical and bureaucratic roots of the field (before and after World War II). It is deduced that Shera, rather than observing the sociopolitical reality and technical partner in which the texture of alibrary-based thought (but visualized by him as documentaryinformational), establishes, in his own praxis, social epistemology as a sort of "critique of the future," that is, as a praxis of the reflexive activity of the subject inserted in this episteme. In our discussion, the epistemological-social approach represents a vanguard for the context of its affirmation, a reassessment for the immediate decades to its presentation(years 1960 and 1970) and a critique for the future of what was consolidated under the notion of information Science, anticipating affirmations of "social nature" of the 1980s and 1990s in the field of information. |

O objetivo deste trabalho, reconhecida a relevância do pensamento sheriano e suas repercussões, é reposicionar, em termos epistemológico-históricos, as abordagens de Jesse Shera e seus impactos segundo uma relação entre vida e obra do epistemólogo. Sem o intuito de uma discussão exaustiva, o propósito delineado está em compreender, segundo uma via filosófico-pragmática, algumas relações entre a crítica de Shera para o contexto de sua formulação teórica e as consequências desta abordagem contrária a algumas tendências oriundas das raízes técnico-burocráticas do campo (antes e depois da Segunda Guerra Mundial). Em certa medida, a partir da reflexão, depreende-se como Shera, mais do que observar a realidade sócio política e sócio técnica na qual estava inserida a tessitura de um pensamento biblioteconômico (mas já visualizada por ele na mutação teórico-terminológica como documentalista-informacional), estabelece, em sua própria práxis, a epistemologia social como uma espécie de “crítica do futuro”, ou seja, como práxis da atividade reflexiva do sujeito inserido nesta episteme. A abordagem epistemológico-social representa, em nossa discussão, uma vanguarda para o contexto de sua afirmação, uma reavaliação para as décadas imediatas à sua apresentação (anos 1960 e 1970) e uma crítica para o futuro do que se consolidou sob a noção de information science, antecipando afirmações de “cunho social” dos anos 1980 e 1990 no campo informacional. 2017-06-23 2022-03-21T17:23:03Z 2022-03-21T17:23:03Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/bjis/article/view/6681 10.36311/1981-1640.2017.v11n2.08.p79 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/70638 eng https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/bjis/article/view/6681/4516 Copyright (c) 2017 Rodrigo Porto Bozzetti, Gustavo Saldanha https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 application/pdf Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências Brazilian Journal of Information Science: Research Trends; Vol. 11 No. 2 (2017) Brazilian Journal of Information Science: Research Trends; Vol. 11 Núm. 2 (2017) Brazilian Journal of Information Science: research trends; v. 11 n. 2 (2017) 1981-1640 |
