Abstract

PurposeThis paper contains a theoretically inspired discussion of recent Norwegian controversies related to the management of public library space as a civil public sphere.Design/methodology/approachThis study engages with theories of civil public spheres and their application within a Nordic context. The theories are applied in discussions of recent controversies related to the management of Norwegian public libraries as civil public spheres, as represented in professional journals and press articles.FindingsThrough the discussion, it becomes apparent that the value of neutrality and librarians' inclusive practices on the part of societal minorities might be conflicting when managing public libraries as civil public spheres.Originality/valueThis paper engages with recent library controversies in Norway and discusses them in light of recent scholarly work on library activism in a Nordic context, as well as recent theorizations of civil public spheres in the Nordic countries. It thus connects ongoing discussions among Norwegian librarians with recent library research and ongoing theorization of civil public spheres within the Nordic model.

将挪威公共图书馆作为公民公共领域进行管理:最近的争议
目的本文对挪威最近关于公共图书馆空间作为公民公共领域管理的争议进行了理论启发性的讨论。设计/方法论/方法本研究涉及民间公共领域的理论及其在北欧背景下的应用。这些理论被应用于讨论最近与挪威公共图书馆作为民间公共领域的管理有关的争议,如专业期刊和新闻文章所示。发现通过讨论,很明显,在将公共图书馆作为公民公共领域进行管理时,社会少数群体的中立价值和图书馆员的包容性做法可能会发生冲突。原创性/价值本文涉及挪威最近的图书馆争议,并根据最近关于北欧背景下图书馆激进主义的学术工作以及最近北欧国家公民公共领域的理论对其进行了讨论。因此,它将挪威图书馆员之间正在进行的讨论与最近的图书馆研究以及北欧模式下民间公共领域正在进行的理论化联系起来。
