Abstract

Professional writing in library and information science (LIS) constructs and reifies an imagined and “hypothetical” (Sulzer & Thein, 2016) adolescent subject understood in developmental terms as the beneficiary of programs and services created by adults on their behalf. Whereas this figure of the adolescent has and continues to be called up in discussions of young adult literature and young people’s reading of the same, this construct is an implicit informant of professional assessment and recommendation of adult literature for young people. Content analysis of one year of reviews of mainstream adult fiction recommended for adolescent readers and published in the review journal, Booklist, surfaces this discourse in professional writing and demonstrates the ways in which its use in professional practice corroborates a deficit model of adolescence as it sanctions a narrow range of literate identities and practices for adolescent readers and affirms their engagement with only those genres and forms of writing adult professionals have approved for their consumption.

识别图书馆和信息科学文献中的假想青少年:描述为青少年推荐成人图书时构建的读者群
图书馆与信息科学(LIS)领域的专业写作构建并重新定义了一个想象中的和 "假设的"(Sulzer & Thein, 2016)青少年主体,从发展的角度将其理解为成人代表他们创造的项目和服务的受益者。在讨论青少年文学和青少年对青少年文学的阅读时,青少年这一形象一直被提及,这一概念也是专业人士评估和推荐青少年成人文学的隐含信息。通过对评论期刊《书单》(Booklist)上发表的一年来为青少年读者推荐的主流成人小说的评论内容进行分析,我们发现了专业写作中的这一论述,并证明了专业实践中使用这一论述的方式证实了青春期的缺陷模式,因为它制裁了青少年读者狭隘的识字身份和实践,并肯定了他们只参与成年专业人士认可的那些体裁和形式的写作,以供他们阅读。
