CIIBERCID : usuarios de la información, sociedad y tecnología en el siglo XXI. Una visión iberoamericana

Abstract

The current work constitutes the first product of the work of the Ibero-American Circle of Documental Information Sciences (CIIBERCID) created in 2018 derived from the seminar on Epistemology of library science and information studies that took place from 2011 in the Institute of Library Sciences and information Research of the National Autonomous University of México. In this book, several specialists from ibero-america (Brasil, Portugal, México and Uruguay) analyze the subject of users, the study is conducted from an eminently theoric, metatheory, holistic, integrative, systemic and critical perspective. The user in a informative-communicational process stops being seen as a passive being and transforms into not only a consumer but also into an information emitter. A deconstruction of the supposed objective neutrality of collections is undertaken in order to show the control that is used in social memory from a place of power through the preservation or destruction of documents. At the same time an analysis is made of the user´s dialectic that comprehends the informational being, the informational subject , the user and the informational individual
