Abstract

Discourse Analysis has disciplinary relationships and theoretical-methodological characteristics that contribute to the growth and understanding of a wide range of discursive practices, include those related scientific practices, such as those from the humanities and social sciences. Because it is through discourse, permeated by ideological positions put into play in the socio-historical process, the text (oral and written) is produced. So the problem is to identify and systematize the theoretical discourse arising from the information science over the 1970s, the initial decade of the emergence of information science as a possible "field" in the Brazilian reality. Thus, through the theoretical- methodological framework of discourse analysis we seek to understand how the discourse was stated and behaved in Information Science in Brazil on its infancy. We based our Analysis from two major journals of the period and beyond, "Revista da Escola de Biblioteconomia da UFMG" and "Ciência da Informação", responsible for support to the emergence and growth of this discipline throughout the 1970s, analyzing articles dealing centrally with the epistemology of Information Science, having the term "information science" in the title, keywords or abstract of articles.
