Abstract

Most researchers, except maybe some extreme functionalists, would agree that meaning is in some way contextual. Furthermore, most would agree that information and meaning is in some sense related. Thus, the relationship between context and information via the notion of meaning seems to be part of the canonical knowledge of most fields that have information at its core such as Information Science and Information Systems. The particular way in which this relationship is conceived differs form perspective to perspective. The relationship between the text and context, whole and part, which is the tacit source of meaning is often characterised as an either/or relationship. Most texts that use hermeneutics to describe the interpretation process, for example, describe the emergence of meaning through the hermeneutic circle as this iterative movement between the part and the whole. This is also true for my own work (Introna 1993). I have however become convinced that this view does not adequately describe the emergence and dissipation of meaning in practice. It seems to me that the Cartesian ghost still pervades much of my thinking and likewise the thinking of the information oriented community. When reading papers from this community I tend to find a view in which text and context is neatly separated and where the interpreter can consciously move from text to context, or context to context, in a ways that seems to suggest that the decision and control of these distinctions and boundaries are available as object to the interpreter in search of meaning or sense. I would contend that although this view is obviously not `wrong' it does not portray the richness and subtlety of meaning and information in everyday life.
