1	Biblioteket och den goda boken : Om skönlitteraturens bibliotekspolitiska särställning Wernberg, Johan January 2018 (has links) The aim of this study is to investigate why fictional literature holds a privileged position within the Swedish library system through a discourse analysis of the Swedish Library Act. The analysis suggests that the privileged position might be understood partly through a symbolic association with the book as a symbol of knowledge, and partly through the institutionalization of the illusio of literature manifested in the myth of the good book. The study is concluded by a discussion on whether fictional literature ought to keep its privileged position, in which I argue in its favor and for the need of replacing the myth of the good book with a body of reason.

2	Bibliotek för alla? : En kvalitativ innehållsanalys av Demokratins skattkammare utifrån ett intersektionellt perspektiv / Library for all? : A qualitative content analysis of The Treasure Trove of Democracy based on an intersectional perspective Bergquist, Lo, Svensson, Malin January 2020 (has links) The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis is to examine the libraries' view of their own role and its relation to democracy, to identify any obstacles to the library's mission on being an inclusive public space. We do this through a qualitative content analysis, based on intersectional theory, on the proposal for a National Strategy for Libraries, The Treasure Trove of Democracy. We conclude that depictions of libraries and librarianship represented in the empirical material limits the ability to break down discriminatory structures within the institution. vocational awe intersectionality intersectional theory national strategy for libraries The Treasure Trove of Democracy democracy library act inclusion neutrality bildung public library intersektionalitet intersektionell teori nationell biblioteksstrategi Demokratins skattkammare demokrati bibliotekslagstiftning inkludering neutralitet bildning folkbibliotek Information Studies Biblioteks- och informationsvetenskap
