Introduction: In the field of information user studies, the shift from the system-centered to the user-centered information paradigm brought to the forefront individual and cognitive aspects of informational activities. This point of view was criticized by emerging social approaches for neglecting social and contextual aspects. This movement generates tensions between researchers who adopt positions focused on the centrality on the user, or on the context or some intermediate position between the two poles, which inevitably interferes with the results of their researches. Objective: The article aims to analyze the Actor-Network Theory (ANT) as an alternative to the reductionist polarities that are present in the field of user studies. Methodology: The analysis was carried out through a bibliographic review on user studies, informational behavior, and ANT. Results: The study reveals a differentiated approach to tracking informational activities, since it considers that information users, whether individual or collective, continuously exchange properties on the same plane, without the aforementioned polarization or search for intermediate positions. Conclusions: The article presents the ART as a coherent and opportune alternative for the apprehension of contemporary informational phenomena.@en

Esse ponto de vista foi criticado por abordagens sociais emergentes por negligenciar aspectos sociais e de contexto. Esse movimento gera tensões entre investigadores que adotam posicionamentos focados na centralidade no usuário, ou no contexto ou em alguma posição intermediária entre os dois polos, o que inevitavelmente interfere nos resultados de suas pesquisas. Objetivo: O artigo objetiva analisar a Teoria Ator-Rede (TAR) como uma alternativa às polaridades reducionistas presentes no campo de estudos de usuários. Metodologia: A análise foi realizada por meio de revisão bibliográfica sobre estudos de usuários, comportamento informacional e TAR. Resultados: O estudo revela uma abordagem diferenciada no rastreamento de atividades informacionais ao considerar que usuários da informação, sejam eles individuais ou coletivos, continuamente trocam propriedades em um mesmo plano, sem a referida polarização ou a busca por posições intermediárias. Conclusões: O artigo apresenta a TAR não apenas como uma alternativa coerente, mas oportuna para a apreensão de fenômenos informacionais contemporâneos.] => 0 ) ) ) [hasID] => Array ( [nn] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [oai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8664905] => 0 ) ) ) [hasRegisterId] => Array ( [pt] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8664905] => 0 ) [1] => Array ( [10.20396/rdbci.v19i00.8664905] => 0 ) ) ) [hasSource] => Array ( [pt] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [RDBCI: Digital Journal of Library and Information Science; Vol. 19 (2021): Countinous Publication; e021028] => 0 ) [1] => Array ( [RDBCI: Revista Digital de Biblioteconomia e Ciência da Informação; v. 19 (2021): Publicação Contínua; e021028] => 0 ) [2] => Array ( [1678-765X] => 0 ) ) ) [hasTitle] => Array ( [en] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [Actor-Network Theory (ANT) as an alternative to overcoming the dualities of the informational behavior studies] => 0 ) ) [pt] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [Teoria Ator-Rede (TAR) como alternativa à superação das dualidades presentes nos estudos de comportamento informacional] => 0 ) ) ) [hasUrl] => Array ( [pt] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8664905/27556] => 0 ) [1] => Array ( [https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8664905/27557] => 0 ) [2] => Array ( [https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8664905/27558] => 0 ) [3] => Array ( [https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8664905/27559] => 0 ) ) [nn] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8664905] => 0 ) [1] => Array ( [https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8664905/27556] => 0 ) [2] => Array ( [https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8664905/27557] => 0 ) [3] => Array ( [https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8664905/27558] => 0 ) [4] => Array ( [https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8664905/27559] => 0 ) ) ) [prefLabel] => Array ( [pt] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [Oai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8664905#00017] => 0 ) ) ) [hasDOI] => Array ( [nn] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [10.20396/rdbci.v19i00.8664905] => 0 ) ) ) )
