Abstract

The general objective of this work is to analyze the conscious mediation of information in dissertations and theses produced on women, gender and feminism in academic Graduate Programs in Information Science (PPGCIs) in Brazil indexed in institutional repositories. To achieve this end, three specific objectives were listed: a) to map the dissertations and theses produced on women, gender and feminism in the PPGCIs in Brazil; b) identify the researchers who mediated informational content related to the themes. c) relate the information content consciously mediated by the researchers with the conscious mediation of information, demonstrating the subversion of gender, race, LGBTQIAP+ issues. Regarding the methodology, the research is documental, descriptive and bibliographic. The data were treated based on qualitative and quantitative approaches and collected in the institutional repositories of the Postgraduate Programs in Information Science, of the Federal and State Universities of higher education in Brazil, and in the lattes curriculum of the researchers. The variables adopted were: institution where the research was defended; line of research to which it is linked in the PPGCI; year in which the dissertation or thesis was defended; methodology; search field and keywords used in the work. With regard to the researchers, authorship, institutional affiliation, gender, academic training and degree were identified. In the study sample, 28 dissertations and 7 theses were mapped, of which 86.1% were produced by researchers and 13.9% by researchers. The study also indicated that 66.7% of the works were guided by women, and 33.3% by men. The results indicate that the mediation of informational content produced in dissertations and theses on women, gender and feminism disseminate knowledge about rights, citizenship and the denaturalization of gender inequalities, which contributes to making the interface between women, gender and the informational phenomenon visible, from in order to favor the social protagonism of women.
