Do tecer do algodão ao tecer da informação: organizando a explosão informacional do século XIX / -Mendes, Luciana Corts 27 November 2014 (has links)
Analisa os objetivos e propostas de organização da informação desenvolvidos pelo Movimento Bibliográfico e indica sua influência na Ciência da Informação. Esta pesquisa de natureza exploratória, realizada através de levantamento, revisão e análise bibliográficos, investiga o pensamento de Paul Otlet, Wilhelm Ostwald, H. G. Wells, John Cotton Dana e Watson Davis, expoentes do Movimento Bibliográfico, no contexto da modernidade. O Movimento Bibliográfico caracterizava-se por sua pluralidade e buscava responder às alterações no mundo informacional decorrentes da modernidade. O movimento atribuía à informação a potencialidade de transformação dos indivíduos e, portanto, transformou o foco dos serviços de informação da preservação para o acesso, procurando organizar acervos em função de seus conteúdos. O desenvolvimento tecnológico contemporâneo ao movimento fez com que seus expoentes enfatizassem a aplicação de novas tecnologias ao processo de disseminação da informação, pois entendiam que este seria facilitado e agilizado. A Ciência da Informação herdou seu papel social parcialmente do Movimento Bibliográfico, objetivando a organização da informação para seu acesso, e compartilha com o movimento a perspectiva de emprego de alta tecnologia na disseminação da informação. O espírito do tempo no qual se originou o Movimento Bibliográfico levou ao aparecimento de um ideário comum que permitiu a elaboração de propostas similares, entretanto, não se descarta a influência mútua entre os indivíduos analisados na pesquisa. Apesar de sua especificidade histórica, o Movimento Bibliográfico compartilha com a Ciência da Informação o ideário informacional moderno e a relação deste com a cultura. Conclui-se que a cultura da informação contemporânea e aquela do movimento pesquisado apresentam diferenças, porém são culturas que se entrelaçam; muitos de seus problemas sendo semelhantes e necessitando soluções similares. / Analyses the objectives and proposals of information organisation developed by the Bibliographic Movement, and indicates its influence in Information Science. This exploratory research, accomplished through bibliographic survey, literature review, and analysis, investigates in the context of modernity the ideas of Bibliographic Movement exponents Paul Otlet, Wilhelm Ostwald, H. G. Wells, John Cotton Dana, and Watson Davis. The Bibliographic Movement was characterized by its plurality, and aimed to respond to modernity\'s effects in the information world. The movement attributed to information the potentiality of individual transformation. Therefore, it changed the focus of information services from preservation to access, and pursued the organisation of collections according to its contents. The development of technology made the Bibliographic Movement exponents emphasise the application of new technologies to the process of information dissemination in order to facilitate and accelerate it. Information Science inherited its social role partially from the Bibliographic Movement, and aims at organising information so that it can be accessed. Information Science also shares with the movement the perspective of employing high technology to disseminate information. The Zeitgeist that gave rise to the Bibliographic Movement led to a common set of ideas and allowed the elaboration of similar proposals for the organisation of information. However, it is not discarded the probability of mutual influence between the individuals analysed. Despite its historical specificity the Bibliographic Movement shares with Information Science modern ideas and its relation to culture. It is concluded that the current information culture and the information culture of the Bibliographic Movement have differences, notwithstanding, they are entwined cultures and many of their problems are similar and need similar solutions

Drömmar om det minsta : Mikrofilm, överflöd och brist, 1900–1970 / Dreams of the minuscule : Microfilm, scarcity and abundance, 1900–1970Lindström, Matts January 2017 (has links)
This thesis explores the cultural history of microfilm and microphotography during the period 1900–1970, thus contributing to the broader field of research on the history of 20th century information management in the era before digital technology. The aim is to study how microfilm repeatedly, in various contexts and over time, was described and perceived as a new medium. To this end the book examines and analyses the plans, dreams and visionary prognostics put forth by various historical actors with an interest in microfilm – using case studies situated at different junctures and periods (1904–1910, 1937, 1940–1952, 1950–1970), while also ranging geographically from the United States to Europe and Sweden. From a theoretical and methodological point of view the thesis seeks to understand the historical formation of microfilm by developing the notions of configuration and reconfiguration, employing a perspective which emphasizes the continuous ontological interplay and interdependence of materiality and discourse in the formation of media. Thus, at the empirical level, the analysis takes into account realized technological materialities as well as unrealized imaginary articulations, dreams and expectations integral to the configuration of microfilm within a broader culture of paperwork. As a result of this approach the study draws on scientific texts and articles in journals, as well as newspaper reports, commercial messages, ads, handbooks and various archival documents. The analysis reveals a close relationship between microfilm and experiences of entropy connected to information systems based on paper and paperwork. It is argued that, within the dreams and plans that are studied, the most important function of microfilm was to regulate noise, decay and disorder associated with the materiality of paper – through ordering, operating on and modifying the capacities of paper media. It is also noted that microfilm was perceived and articulated as a new medium over a long period of time, even though very little changed at the technological level. From a historiographical point of view, it is thus argued, microfilm can be characterized as a simultaneously continuous and discontinuous phenomenon, taking part in a history that unfolded through repetitions, returns and non-linear steps rather than along an uninterrupted, linear path.
