RESUMO

Science in postmodernity reflects the scientific revolutions occurred in the end of the XIX century and in the beginning of XX century. The paradigmatic ruptures and crises provided the debate around a new science that develops in relational contexts of complexity. The changes, that also include new relations of the subject with the object, take part in the process of suspicion of traditional reason, suggesting the necessity of an open theory to the transversal of thought and to almost all the events that lead to conceptual and methodological plurality. This is the context in which this research about Information Science is developed. In this sense, the objective of this work is to analyse the scientific statute of Information Science in postmodernity. First, it was adopted an epistemological approach, tracing a synthesis of the development of the western scientific philosophical thought until postmodernity. Following, it was proceeded the survey and the analysis of articles selected in journals devoted to Information Science in Brazil, in the period of 1972-2002. 37 texts were selected in accordance with a set of categories established from the theoretical reference framework of the research. It was evidenced that, in this period, little research about epistemological questions related to the characteristics of the scientific philosophical thought of Information Science in postmodernity in Brazil.
