Abstract

The history of Information Science is not to be mistaken with information in History. It is possible to identify the formation of such discipline at diverse instances and times, which have rendered possible the escalation of what was still elusive into the consolidation of a set of knowledge at a certain time, articulated with the social and political demand which have legitimated its inception. This is the case of information in the history of the prison system produced in the Court of Rio de Janeiro. What are these conditions of possibility? Which elements comprise this historical scenario in which information generated on inmates comprise a relevant part of power strategies? The present work aims at analysing controll and surveillance devices developed by a group of institutions on those who have breached the social pact, aiming at producing, on the prisoners, a set of knowledge and a memory which comprise images from encloistering the fragments of which are currently recovered, received and reassigned meaning, in the light of social memory, a current fact.
