Resumo: Michel Foucault (1926-84) is a primary thinker informing the construction of a critical theory of library and information science (LIS), or librarianship. He is widely cited and is adapted in various ways that focus on LIS forms of power, discourse, and so on. Others have addressed Foucault’s topics, but he remains central. Librarianship has taken up a prior challenge to more fully explore his work, and it is now time to carefully review the implications of Foucault’s thinking as a foundation for a critical-theoretical LIS. Foucault has undergone extensive analysis and critique, and this article is a similar step within LIS. While not comprehensive, a review of Foucauldian ideas within LIS literature from a core group of authors is undertaken. Critiques and problems in Foucault’s thinking are reviewed since, by relying on Foucault’s insights for a line of analysis and research, this LIS theoretical work will reflect some of those same problems.

O filósofo é amplamente citado e seus conceitos adaptados à interface entre a ciência da informação/biblioteconomia, o discurso e as relações de poder. Apesar de diversos autores terem abordado estes temas, Foucault preserva sua centralidade. A Biblioteconomia tomou para si o desafio de explorar sua obra, e é chegado o momento de revisar, cuidadosamente, as implicações do pensamento foucaultiano como base para uma ciência da informação críticateórica. A obra de Foucault tem sido alvo de críticas e análises extensas, e este artigo pretende tomar um caminho semelhante dentro da BCI. Embora não pretenda ser exaustivo, o artigo se propõe – através de um núcleo de autores – a realizar uma revisão das ideias foucaultianas dentro da BCI. Críticas e problemas do pensamento de Foucault são revistos, uma vez que se considera que os trabalhos teóricos da BCI podem refletir os mesmos problemas das perspectivas do autor aplicados para análise e pesquisa.Universidade de São Paulo.
