BIBLIOTERAPIA: ENTRELACES DA MEDIAÇÃO DA INFORMAÇÃO COM A MEDIAÇÃO DA LEITURA

Abstract

The interrelationship of bibliotherapy with information mediation and reading mediation is the theme of this study, whose objective was to analyze how bibliotherapy has been treated, in its relationship with the mediation of information and the mediation of reading in the scientific production of Information Science, and to identify the theoretical and practical contributions and perspectives in this thematic relationship. With regard to methodology, this is descriptive research, using bibliographic research and the quali-quantitative approach as its method. To analyze the data, the technique of content analysis was used, and the instrument adopted was the reading form. When analyzing the productions that comprised the sample of this work, it was noticed that bibliotherapy, information mediation and reading mediation are intertwined through characteristics that are fundamental to carry out the activities, however this interrelation is implicit, as it is not directly indicated in the studies by the authors of Information Science. It was also found that the most frequent characteristics are related to the systematization of the bibliotherapeutic action and the aesthetic relationship that occurs in the reader's encounter with the informational device, evidenced by emotion, among other feelings, which become fundamental in the development of activities and enable the (re)knowledge and transformation of the subject. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the studies on bibliotherapy and that they be developed in order to further explore the possibility of this thematic interlace and to enrich theoretical discussions about bibliotherapy, as this is an affectionate and informational practice. For this reason, it needs to be understood and defended as such in the field of Information Science.
