O Movimento neodocumentalista e a reaproximação entre Ciência da Informação e Documentação: uma perspectiva histórico-conceitual

Abstract

There was a period in which the studies about the concept of document in Information Science were set aside in favor of informations studies. However in recent decades, the concepts of Paul Otlet and Suzanne Briet about document and Documentation has been rediscovered by some researchers and reinserted in the Information Science, through a movement named as Neodocumentalist. In this article, through bibliographic research, is identified a historical and conceptual way about the appearance of this movement from the research initiative of two groups, the group RPT-doc originating in France and the group Document Academy, a global collective originated from United States. Provides the discussion about the definition of the term that named the movement and arguments about how the need of questioning the document concept in the digital environment resulted the appearance of Neodocumentation and, based on Thought Collective concept, from Ludwig Fleck, analyses how these scientists researches and discussions configured the emergence of a new current of thought inside Information Science. Concludes that because socials and technological modifications occurred in a particular historical context, the concept of document needed to be revisited, being necessary the organization of another community of scientists for new discussions about this concept.
