Abstract

It presents exploratory and analytical research carried out in the national and foreign literature, bringing together sociocultural, political-legal, technological and methodological aspects, to understand the current regime of mass surveillance with the application of technologies on personal data. We sought to identify recent works on the topics of vigilance and privacy, related to the terms big data and personal data, in the academic researches of Information Science in Brazil. It was initially conducted a survey in the literature, to clarify, contextualize and relate the highlighted themes. The annals of the National Meeting on Information Science Research - ENANCIB were consulted in the last 10 years. The results showed that 7 surveys approached the subject of vigilance with the same focus of this research, and the Working Groups that contributed the most were WGs 3 and 5, with two publications each. Regarding privacy, 6 publications were identified for addressing the topic with the same approach used in this research, with WG 5 contributing the most with three publications. It was concluded that research on Information Science in Brazil is still incipient in these themes.
