摘要

目的探讨在政治和社会动荡时期,公共图书馆员如何理解和履行公共图书馆的民主使命,并批判性地讨论了公共图书馆作为聚会场所的理念。设计/方法论/方法对瑞典南部公共图书馆员进行的五次集体访谈进行了分析,使用了四种民主视角的类型学。研究结果民主的两种观点通常表现为:社会自由民主,侧重于图书馆作为平等的推动者;协商民主,侧重图书馆作为理性协商的场所。两个职业困境尤其给图书馆员带来了挑战:如何处理不民主的声音,以及如何成为一个惠及所有人的图书馆。独创性/价值分析指出有必要重新思考会议场所的概念,并提供了一个罕见的基于经验的论点,证明多元痛苦论对分析和加强公共图书馆的民主作用的好处。

Revisiting the notion of the public library as a meeting place: challenges to the mission of promoting democracy in times of political turmoil
PurposeThis article explores how public librarians understand and perform the democratic mission of public libraries in times of political and social turbulence and critically discusses the idea of public libraries as meeting places.Design/methodology/approachFive group interviews conducted with public librarians in southern Sweden are analyzed using a typology of four perspectives on democracy.Findings Two perspectives on democracy are commonly represented: social-liberal democracy, focusing on libraries as promoters of equality and deliberative democracy, focusing on the library as a place for rational deliberation. Two professional dilemmas in particular present challenges to librarians: how to handle undemocratic voices and how to be a library for all.Originality/valueThe analysis points to a need for rethinking the idea of the meeting place and offers a rare example of an empirically based argument for the benefits of plural agonistics for analyzing and strengthening the democratic role of public libraries.
