Da concepção da visão custodial para a pós custodial no âmbito da gestão documental: uma discussão em aberto na literatura e na prática Arquivística

Abstract

It can be seen in document management practices within the public and private archives of Brazil applying archival technical procedures related to the organization and preservation of documentary mass at the expense of guided procedures for the dissemination and sharing of institutional information contained in the documentary supports . That is, despite what advocates the design, still in formation of the Archival theoretical strand called "post-custodial". Authors in this part advocate for the importance of the contents of the "content" in existing files documents, considering that the "information" has come to play a leading role (raw material / product) in contemporary society, both for decision-making in administrative phase and to establish criteria to be adopted for the collection of documentary media of historical interest and research, which includes data / information that characterizes and identifies the social function of the files. The duality of theoretical concepts observed in the area of literature has generated a polyphony of approach and practical field procedures, putting in "suspension" the identity of the "subject matter" of Archival nowadays. This article aims to describe the process of theoretical training culminating in the so-called concept of "custodial file" to the contemporary stage, still in consolidation of the concept of "custodial post file". Made use of Gadamer's method, based on a hermeneutic analysis, which aims to extract "the truth" contained in texts, as if the text speak for itself, but while associate this "truth" observed by the testimonies of working in archival management practices. It means the search for understanding that part of the interpretation of the texts analyzed in line with the "views" reported by five professionals in the survey, while recognizing the existence of your preferences / theoretical approaches. It also included say that the methodological procedures enabled assess new interpretations that allowed presenting reflections / guidelines related to both theoretical conceptions, which opens up the possibility of new research on two issues in particular, namely: the identity of the object study and theoretical trends / Archival practices nowadays.
