ESTRATÉGIAS PARA PROMOÇÃO DE JUSTIÇA INFORMACIONAL EM TERRITÓRIOS VULNERÁVEIS

Abstract

This study explores how Librarianship, through territorialized praxis, can engage with vulnerable communities to confront epistemic injustice and algorithmic racism. It posits that digital and algorithmic exclusion reflects historical inequalities limiting knowledge production. The objective is to propose territorialized strategies against informational injustice in peripheral and rural areas. Specifically, the research: a) contextualizes digital exclusion as epistemicide; b) discusses information literacy via critical pedagogy for emancipation; and c) presents strategies to foster community networks. This qualitative, bibliographic, and exploratory study reviews intersections between Librarianship, Education, and Racial Relations through critical hermeneutics. Results show that professional neutrality is untenable as technological infrastructures reproduce social hierarchies, demanding reconfigured training and university extension. The study emphasizes critical algorithmic literacy, territorialized extension, data sovereignty, and epistemic reparation. It concludes that Librarianship, by linking ethical-political commitment to community action, becomes a strategic field for defending informational democracy and social justice.
