Från norr till söder : En kvalitativ studie om projektdeltagares upplevelser av utbytet vid ett internationellt projekt / From North to South : A qualitative study about project participants’ experiences of the exchange in an international projectHåkansson, Amelie, la Fleur, Josefin January 2018 (has links)
The aim of this study was to understand how project participants in a project between a Western country and an Africa country experience the exchange of knowledge and experiences. The study was conducted through qualitative semi-structured interviews with a hermeneutic approach. We interviewed nine participants from the project Tlokwe Inclusivity Disability Sector II, an international project between Växjö in Sweden and Potchefstroom in South Africa. Four of the interviews were conducted with participants from South Africa, and five of the interviews were conducted with participants from Sweden. The analysis of the material was based on previous research in the field and the theories of postcolonialism and indigenization. The result of the study shows that the participants from South Africa have received knowledge from Sweden that they have tried to adjust to their local conditions. The Swedish participants also feel that they have learned from this project, but a different kind of knowledge than the theoretical knowledge that they have conveyed to the South African participants. Cultural differences were central in all interviews, but although all participants that we have interviewed talked about these differences, it was not seen as a problem in the project.

Klassifikationsstrukturer, kunskapssystem och världsbilder. : En studie i kunskapsorganisation av Indigenous knowledge.Wennberg, Elisabet January 2024 (has links)
The United Nations as well as the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions highlight the value and the need for appropriate knowledge organization of Indigenous knowledge in memory institutions. This paper seeks to contribute to research in the field of Indigenous librarianship. The purpose of the study is to investigate the need for Indigenous knowledge organization and information retrieval with the help of the following research questions: In what way are Indigenous knowledge systems affected by Western knowledge organization and classification structures? What tools and processes are required in order to implement Indigenous librarianship? Data collection includes semi-structured interviews in addition to literature and audiovisual review. The theoretical framework combines the themes of language revitalization, collaboration and relationality with discussions of indigenization and decolonization. The two cases studied are Indigenous librarianship in Aotearoa-New Zealand and Sweden. The results show that while the Western classification systems have shortcomings related to categorizing of Indigenous knowledge the thesaurus is a tool to work around this problem. The conclusion is that language-revitalization together with national and international collaboration is necessary to assure a deep understanding of Indigenous worldviews and knowledge organization.
