Nevertheless, in literary studies and in the humanities, including book history, the figure of the library remains in many senses under-researched. This collection brings together established and up-and-coming researchers from a number of practices-- literary and cultural studies, gender studies, book history, philosophy, visual culture, and contemporary art-- with an effective historical sweep ranging from the time of Sumer to the present day. In the context of the rise of archive studies, this book attends specifically and meta-critically to the figure of the library as a particular archival form, considering the traits that constitute (or fail to constitute) the library as institution or idea, and questions its relations to other accumulative modes, such as the archive in its traditional sense, the museum, or the filmic or digital archive. Across their diversity, and in addition to their international standard of research and writing, each chapter is unified by commitment to analyzing the complex cultural politics of the library form"-- Provided by publisher Library science Philosophy Information science Philosophy Critical theory Libraries Philosophy Archives Philosophy Mays, Sas Routledge studies in library and information science ; 10 0 0 0 0 20000 20000 2019-09-04 426.82 0 Z665 .L53 2014 0000094659 2019-09-04 00:00:00 1 426.82 2019-09-04 OPEN VIRTUA40 78929 78935 VTLSSORT0080*0400*0200*0201*0202*0900*2450*2600*3000*4900*5200*5040*5050*6500*6501*6502*6503*6504*7000*8300*9992
