Judaism and Jews in bibliographic classification systems : A hermeneutic study of representation (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva hur judendom och judar klassificeras i tre bibliografiska klassifikationssystem som används på svenska bibliotek. De valda systemen är Dewey Decimal klassifikationssystemet (DDK), Klassifikationssystemet för svenska bibliotek (SAB) och Judiska biblioteks klassifikationssystem (Stockholmssystemet). Hermeneutikens teorier används som teoretisk utgångspunkt i kombination med Hope A. Olsons teori om makten att namnge och Broughton och Lomas modell om klassifikation av religion. Detta används för att analysera resultatet av studien. Det empiriska materialet insamlades genom en kvalitativ textstudie, vilket innebar en närläsning utifrån ett kodningsschema. Resultatet tematiserades i sex kategorier och analyserade utifrån de ovannämnda teorierna. DDK- och SAB-systemet representerar judar som en minoritet och judendom som religion tilldelas lite utrymme i klassifikationssystemen. I Stockholmssystemet är judendom och judar normen och den judiska tideräkningen och namnvarianter premieras, till skillnad från de övriga systemen. DDK-systemet presenterar judendom och judar med mångfald, Stockholmssystemet i lite mindre utsträckning och SAB-systemet utan någon mångfald.

Abstract [en]

The aim of the study is to describe how Judaism and Jews are classified in the bibliographic classification systems that are used in Swedish libraries. The chosen systems are the Dewey Decimal Classification System (DDC), Classification System for Swedish Libraries (SAB) and the Jewish Library’s Classification system (The Stockholm System). Hermeneutics is the theoretical basis in combination with Hope A. Olson’s theory of the power to name and Broughton and Lomas model of the classification of religion. This is used to analyze the results of the study. The empirical material was gathered using a qualitative text study, which entailed a close reading with a coding schedule. The result was thematized into six categories and analyzed with the aforementioned theories. The DDC and SAB systems represent Jews as a minority and Judaism as a religion is given little space in the classification systems. Judaism and Jews are the norm in the Stockholm system and Jewish chronology and name variants are promoted. The DDC system presents Judaism and Jews with diversity, the Stockholm system less so and the SAB system contains no diversity.
