Enfoques paradigmáticos da bibliotecología; unidade na diversidad ou diversidad na unidad

TWO CURRENT PARADIGMS ARE DESCRIBED AND EXPLAINED IN THE INFORMATION SCIENCE STUDY. THE FIRST OF THEM, WHICH IS CIRCUMSCRIBED WITHIN A SIMILAR CONCEPTION OF NATURAL SCIENCES, ANALIZES THE INFORMATIVE PHENOMENA AS TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESSES, IN WHICH THE USER IS AN ADITIONAL ELEMENT IN THIS PROCESS; THE SECOND PARADIGM IS LINKED TO SOCIAL SCIENCES, AND STUDIES THE INFORMATIVE PROCESS AS A COMMUNTICATION ACT, WHERE THE SUBJECT IS ASSIGNED A PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE. IT IS STATED THAT BOTH GO BEYOND POSITIVISM. WITHIN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES VIEWPOINT, IT ALSO EXISTS THE INFLUENCE OF THREE CURRENTS, WHICH ARE THE AMERICAN LIBERALISM, GERMAN SOCIAL DEMOCRACY AND THE FRENCH POSTSTRUCTURALISM. FINALLY, ITS IDENTIFIED THE INFLUENCE OF DIVERSE AUTHORS (FOUCAULT, LYOTARD, HABERMAS, ALTHUSSER, GRAMSCI, AMONG OTHERS) AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE IDEAS OF THE SAID AUTHORS IN THE FIELD OF INFORMATION SCIENCE IN BRASILIAN RESEARCHERS.
