Sumario:The mediation category was consolidated within the theoretical framework of Information Science as an important conceptual operator. With different meanings, mediation has been used by different theoretical and epistemological currents, as a way of thinking the diverse dynamics that involve the production, organization, flow, communication, appropriation, circulation, transfer, devices, registers, uses, users and regimes of information in different contexts. It is known that this polysemic construct, which migrated to different fields of knowledge, has been present in Philosophy since at least Classical Antiquity, and has also been developed by modern dialectics, which considers it as an important category of its system. Considering the historical genesis of the concept of mediation, this work explores some of its dialectical meanings, pointing out that mediation is fundamentally an ontological, epistemological, logical and methodological category. Conclusively, it points out questions that the dialectical perspective of mediations introduces in the construction and understanding of the informational object.
