RESUMO

Investigate the production of knowledge about blacks in memory of science at Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), seeking to understand their (in)visibility in the scientific culture of this institution. The study aims to understand how the black African descent have been represented in the production of knowledge, stored in the memory of science at UFPB, focusing the analysis of production in different types of publications such as dissertations, theses, scientific articles and more. From a qualitative and quantitative approach for enabling understanding of the phenomenon, anchoring themselves in the field of cultural studies of science and understood as a set of investigations referring to the practices through which scientific knowledge is articulated, the fieldwork search contemplated postgraduate courses of three centers: Centro de Ciências Humanas, Letras e Artes: Centro de Educação e o Centro de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas da UFPB (Campus I). The universe of UFPB was chosen as a research field for storing a considerable amount of information sources in their physical/digital repositories which relate to the production of knowledge of their researches. Interesting to us only the jobs that already been made public in the composition of the memory of science in that institution. Data were collected in the Libraries Sector, Private Libraries and the curriculum lattes of the researchers that make up the postgraduate programs of these centers. There was a slight production of knowledge on the subject in question. Thus we recommend that discussions, workshops, seminars, debates, among others be held to the scientific research in this area can develop in order to assume social responsibility and ethnic-racial with focus on the production of knowledge about the problem of black people in the information society. Regarding the area of Science Information (SI), we hope this study contributes to the production of new knowledge from a social view and interdisciplinary of SI, understood as an effect constructed through social relations at different levels and environments. Therefore, the information professionals who develop teaching activities, research and extension begin to take their place in the discussions, reflections and analysis in the research groups, classrooms and research laboratories, because the academic community must be informed about what is produced in these environments, and be aware of the importance of a science in action for all the citizens.
