Convergências em ciência da informação no Brasil e na França

Abstract

This presents a study on the relationship of Information Science between France and Brazil. It has the general objective to investigate the origins of Information Science in Brazil and in France, its history, evolution and consolidation, their specificities and applicability as science that seeks to solve the problems of information in the social context. It assumes that the relationship between the two countries in matters of information and its flow, with special emphasis on mediation of information and the appropriation of knowledge, cut across in the research developed by the members of MUSSI network of French-Brazilians researchers. The methodology used was bibliographic and documentary research. The research is a result from a sandwich doctoral internship developed in partnership between the Federal University of Bahia, Brazil, and the Université Paul Sabatier in Toulouse, France. It was observed that, despite the different employment statuses, there are important correlations between information workers from both countries to point to the confluence of Information Officer competencies inserted in the professional competencies of Brazilian information.
