Resumo: The article critically discusses the theoretical and methodological concepts of the studies of information users, considering thehistoricality, totality and the contradictions of capitalist society as constitutors of the informational practices of users. The currenttraditional and alternative approaches to information users have been shown to be limited, because they do not cover the complexity of the aspects that shape the users and their social constitution. These theories disregard the historical-social dimension of human action, focusing only on the individual action. One understands that to comprehend the informational practices of subjects, it is necessary to put them into historical perspective, considering that subjectivity is not separated from the social structure. In order to build a method or a critical point of view, the adoption of the categories of analysis developed by Pierre Bourdieu is suggested. The categories habitus, social field and capital are presented in an attempt to understand the informational practices built at the cross-roads between social relationships based on exploitation of one class by another (and the domination of one group by another) and the subjective perceptions of individuals.

As atuais abordagens de estudos de usuários da informação, tradicionais e alternativas, mostram-se limitadas por não abarcarem a complexidade dos aspectos que formam os sujeitos e a sua constituição social. Desconsideram a dimensão histórico-social da ação humana, focando somente a ação individual. Entende-se que, para compreender as práticas informacionais dos sujeitos, é necessário situá-las historicamente, considerando-se que a subjetividade não está descolada da estrutura social. Para a construção de um método ou de uma forma de olhar crítica, sugere-se a adoção de categorias de análise desenvolvidas por Pierre Bourdieu. Apresentam-se as categorias habitus, camposocial e capital simbólico para tentar compreender as práticas informacionais construídas no cruzamento entre asrelações sociais baseadas na exploração de uma classe sobre outra (e de dominação de um grupo sobre outro) e compreendertambém a percepção subjetiva dos indivíduos.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2012-11-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/transinfo/article/view/6161Transinformação; Vol. 24 No. 3 (2012)Transinformação; Vol. 24 Núm. 3 (2012)Transinformação; v. 24 n. 3 (2012)2318-08890103-3786reponame:Transinformação (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/transinfo/article/view/6161/3865Copyright (c) 2022 Transinformaçãohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Melo PINTO, Flávia VirgíniaÁvila ARAÚJO, Carlos Alberto 2024-04-01T13:17:43Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/6161Revistahttp://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/transinfo/indexPRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phpsbi.nucleodeeditoracao@puc-campinas.edu.br2318-08890103-3786opendoar:2024-04-01T13:17:43Transinformação (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
