Regime de informação em contexto organizacional: a representatividade dos artefatos à luz da sociomaterialidade

Abstract

It delimits the focus on phenomena of an informative nature that permeate the organizational contexts of Brazilian federal universities, focused on the need, search, sharing and use of information. It analyzes the information environment of the Unified Postgraduate Department (SUPG/CCJE/UFES) categorizing it based on the elements that make up a regimen of information (actors, actions, devices and artifacts), a theoretical-analytical model developed in the last two decades by researcher Maria Nélida González de Gómez. It dialogues with the perspective of organizing, as it assumes a procedural view of organizations, understanding them as processes or practices in constant flux and transformation. In exploratory-descriptive research, with a qualitative approach to Information Science and interdisciplinary with Administration, it presents theoretical-methodological contributions on sociomateriality, characterized by highlighting the material dimensions of social activities and interactions, whose methodological basis is based on the principle of symmetry Actor-Network Theory (ANT). It employs, in terms of procedures, documental, bibliographic and case study research, using a focus group as a data collection strategy for the case studied. The result demonstrates that in the dominant regimen of information of SUPG, the social and the technical are ontologically inseparable, defining material forms and spaces.
