Abstract:
Title: Towards a critical and labor librarianship. Socialist, leftist,
anticapitalist, and critical voices against the hegemony of the
bourgeois and capitalist classes in the sciences of information recorded
in documents: A bilingual Spanish-English bibliography. Version 1 This
bilingual Spanish-English bibliography is just another effort to empower
all the working and proletarian classes, in general, and in particular
of the information, knowledge, communication, and from all the
industrial and cognitive branches, included those of the sciences of
information recorded in documents (e.g. libraries, archives, documental
centers, museums, etc.). To be as an instrument so they can analyze,
resist, challenge, and counter-attack --from the trenches of the widest
spectrum of the currents of socialism, the left, and the social
anti-capitalist critique-- the constant attacks from the ideologues
logographers at the service of the dominant clases of the bourgeoisie,
neo-liberalism, capitalism, and imperialism, in general (e.g. Masuda,
1981; Fukuyama, 1989; Huntington, 1993; Castells, 1996), and from the
sciences of information recorded in documents, in particular, (e.g. Lau
Noriega, 2007ª; 2007b; Gorman, 2001; Hernández Pacheco, 2007; 2000;
Uribe Tirado, 2005; Valdiosera R., 2005; Rodríguez Gallardo, 2001;
Guerrero Valle, 2000; Mann, 1993; Cronin, 1992) that constantly carry on
against the destitute and poverty-stricken working and proletarian
classes of the world, in general, and of the sciences of sciences of
information recorded in documents, in particular, and only to maintain
their hegemony and benefits for their class. The theoretical approach
for its selection is based in the concept of critical epistemology
within the wide labor movements of the anti-capitalist left (e.g.
Muela-Meza, 2010a; 2008ª; 2008b; 1996; 1991; de la Garza Toledo, 2001),
and the concept the social class struggles within the sciences of
information recorded in documents (e.g. Muela-Meza, 2010ª; 2010b; 1996;
1991; Pawley, 1998; Corrigan and Gillespie, 1978), with the aims to
build a critical and labor librarianship from the anti-capitalist and
socialist left.
