Library science and the “Social construction”

Abstract

The analysis and the discursive relation of Library Science can be undertaken from different currents of thought. In this work we focus on the Library Science discourses with the Social and Human Sciences; in particular, with the current of thought entitled "construction of the social". This strand seeks to understand no more totalities or structures, but the individual and his social actions. For this discussion in the field of Social and Human Sciences in dialogue with the Library Science discourses the following authors were convened: Alfaro-Lopez (2010), Rendón-Rojas (2000), Brown-César (2000) and David Lankes (2015). The understanding of the knowledge that forms part of the discourse of Library Science allows a more in-depth view of this scientific field, bringing also light to the broader context of the Social and Human Sciences, where it is inserted as a specific modality of thought.
