THE INFLUENCE OF THEORY POST-CUSTODIAL OF TERRY COOK AS HARBINGER THE SOCIALIZATION OF ARCHIVAL SCIENCE, ARCHIVIST AND ARCHIVES

Abstract

The socialization of information on contemporary archival science assumes a paradigm shift in two moments: the custodial for post-custodial and is configured as a prerequisite for social and theoretical setting of a construction of archival knowledge. In this perspective, an archival science a re-dimension their pragmatic approaches, especially in their normative assumptions. Therefore, this article aimed to reflect the socialization of archival science from the post-custodial theory broadcast by Terry Cook, starting from the hypothesis that the areas between the traditional archival science and archival science post-custodial need to be raised in favour of deepening theoretical and practical applicability. In methodological terms, the research was founded on a qualitative approach, the bibliographic type, assuming a theoretical dimension and seeking to understand the function of archival science, archivist and archives in society. Thus, points out that the dissemination of information is the result of the implementation of document management, whose post-custodial approach emphasizes participation of the professional archivist informational management procedures and on presumption of dissemination of information. However, the classical conception of archival science is connected to the apparatus of custody and of normative acts. Therefore, it is concluded that the difficulties of socializing information to citizens is a means to the use of new theoretical. However, Terry Cook brought a great contribution by mentioning the social character of archivists and their relationship in the whole process of document management acting now not as "guardian of papers", but how productive participant within the institutions.
