【 摘 要 】

This paper focusses on emancipatory knowledge considering the field of information systems based on the critical theory. The objectives are: to present a dialectical method of analysis producing such knowledge and to apply it through an empirical illustration using a Brazilian case. Two metaphors emerge from the analysis and in one of them there is evidence of emancipatory knowledge. The adequacy of the dialectic method of analysis as well as strengths and limitations observed during the research are discussed.
