The development of Critical Information Literacy based on Critical Theory of Information and Critical Pedagogy, contributes to the development of critical thinking in the face of informational demands. In this sense, this article aims to elaborate an overview of the evolution and perspectives of Critical Information Literacy in Brazil. To this end, a bibliographic search was conducted on the Referential Database of Journals Articles in Information Science about Critical Information Literacy. The analysis was carried out in two stages, the first through bibliometric analysis and the second through systemic analysis. The tool used to present the data was the VOSviewer, in which the networks of authorship, co-authorship, co-occurrence of keywords and link institutions of authors and co-authors were generated, and the Excel program for creating graphs. The results show the authors, journals and institutions that are developing this approach, as well as the profile of the content of the texts and the contribution that each study can bring to society with regard to the information needs linked to critical thinking. It is considered that the perspectives and the expansion of studies contribute to support the strengthening of Critical Information Literacy.
