Summary: This research presents a theoretical study with a hermeneutic approach on the theme of Cultural Mediation in the context of multicultural societies. Thus, the text constitutes an interpretative effort to analyze the implications of three concepts, methodologically guided by Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics, resulting in the construction of a reflective model that embraces the notions of Cultural Mediation, Multicultural Societies, and Text. Drawing from Gramsci's conception of the organic intellectual the thinker committed to their own social class and, consequently, active at the margins between hegemonic knowledge and the effort to challenge boundaries this study opts for a re-elaboration within the field of language. It seeks to affirm a voice among
voices in a shared world, assuming enunciation from a specific place and trajectory, engaging in a universal dialogue through difference. This endeavor aligns with the research's justification: to develop an understanding that is still lacking in the field but is essential in an increasingly plural and diverse world the idea of cultural mediation as a concept. To address the relationships and implications between the concepts of cultural mediation, multicultural societies, and text, the study is guided by the general objective of To understand how reflections on cultural mediation, multicultural societies, and text can contribute, through their points of contact, to studies in the philosophy of information regarding the contemporary world's demands for cultural diversity. It seeks possibilities for interpretation that engage with knowledge produced from the periphery of Western society. The research is structured into three chapters, each dedicated to one of the key concepts, concluding with the necessity of preparing the ground, within Information Science, for questions that engage with contemporary cultures in a globalized world one that is increasingly dynamic and diverse.
