Intellectual organic as mediator information: some considerations about a possible dialogue

Abstract

The definition of the concept of information mediator has been in general, in the field ofInformation Science, associated to the information professional. However, information is mediated by a large number of people and information environments that transcend environments such as libraries, archives and museums, traditionally thought by CI. Without objecting to the importance of the environments worked in the field, the objective here is to make some considerations about the concept of information professional and to reflect, through the Gramsciano concept of Organic Intellectual, about the idea of mediator of the information so that we can think about how Information is mediated in all spheres of society, that is, in its various groups, organizations and communication vehicles. Finally, the idea of the mediator is presented as being all those who work in society, such as pastor, priest, player, community representative, teacher, health professional, computer, musician, journalist, etc., that is, a fundamental Intellectual Intellectual to promote social transformations.
