Os centros de documentação universitários como espaços de institucionalização de “novas” memórias às margens do regime de informação

Abstract

This thesis aims to analyze the foundations that enabled the emergence of documentation centers linked to social movements within academic spaces, specifically universities across the political and social context that is configured in Brazil since 1964 and continued until the year 1985. Were selected as research object three documentation centers founded between the decades of 1970-1980 in university settings, and still in operation today. In seeking to identify the main reasons that led to the emergence of these centers and how they articulated and resisted against the existing information regime, the thesis aligns to the propositions of Information Science as a way to understand the possible processes of resistance and suitability of social actors, producers of information, of the system in vogue. This dynamics is imperative to build the epistemological and political field of information in nowadays Brazil.
