ABSTRACT
Discussions about information and communication continue to cause uneasiness in the field of Information Science (IS), especially in a hyper information environment. From this context, it is intended to analyze the Info-communication competencies (InfoCom competencies) as a competence of the IS itself, seeking, objectively, to find elements that contribute to the construction of its constitution. The article theoretically explores the possible epistemological incompleteness of IS, analyzing some paths taken by science. From a historical and philosophical macro perspective that sustains this context, we seek to understand the phenomena that involve communication and information, in order to identify the main epistemic discourses of this trajectory, in order to look at possible paths that enable our objective. The main conclusions, besides evidencing the virtuous character of it incompleteness, which open doors to complexity and transdisciplinary, also point out that infocom competencies, based on a resignification of the word "competence" itself, allow criticism and self-criticism of information and communication. For the construction of an epistemic discourse in this place, it is necessary to think them from the double complexity, transcending the conceptions contained in inductive and/or deductive logic.
