Garantia literária: elementos para uma revisão crítica após um século

Literary warrant: elements for a critical review after one century

Resumos

Considerando o princípio da garantia literária, formulado por Hulme em 1911, para quem os termos de um sistema de classificação devem derivar antes da literatura a ser efetivamente classificada (o que se encontra documentado) do que de considerações puramente teóricas (classificações científicas ou filosóficas ou em uma suposta autoridade dos primeiros classificacionistas), observa-se uma ruptura com as concepções de Harris e de Dewey que, por sua vez, haviam se baseado em Bacon e Leibnitz. Deste modo, busca-se contribuir para uma síntese crítica do referido princípio como subsídio teórico aos estudos de organização do conhecimento. Para tanto, estuda-se a vigência deste princípio ao longo de um século por meio de distintos dados documentais (registro em dicionários, recuperação no Google etc.), reconhecendo-o enquanto elemento metodológico em sistemas de classificação e em padrões de registro. Nesse âmbito discutem-se os procedimentos top-down ou bottom-up de desenho de sistemas e se resenham três aplicações tradicionais da garantia literária, sugerindo-se três novas aplicações, em virtude de seu potencial metodológico. Tais aspectos levam a concluir pela crescente perspectiva de aplicação da garantia literária dentro e fora do campo da Ciência da Informação.

This study contributes to a critical synthesis of the principle of literary warrant, initially formulated by Hulme in 1911. Hulme proposed that the terms of a classification system should be derived from the literature to be classified, rather than based on purely theoretical considerations. Founding literary warrant on literature which is actually documented rather than on scientific or philosophical classifications or on the supposed authority of the first classificationists implied a clear departure from the conceptions of Harris and Dewey, who had used the classifications of Bacon and Leibniz as models. The validity of this principle over the past century is studied by means of diverse documental data (entries in dictionaries, retrieval by Google, etc.), as it is recognized as a main methodological element for classification standards and systems. This study also discusses the situation with respect to the top-down or bottom-up methodologies of system design. Three traditional applications of literary warrant are described as well as three new applications are suggested, in light of its methodological potential. It is possible to conclude that this principle will find increasing applications in other contexts, within and beyond Information Science.
