Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka ett makerspace i en svensk gymnasieskola och hur användningen av makerspace i skolan kan förstås utifrån Ernesto Laclaus och Chantal Mouffes diskursteoretiska ramverk. Det finns en spänning mellan makerspace ursprungliga idé som handlar om öppenhet, delad kunskap, utforskande och nyfikenhet och mer entreprenöriella syften som tagit allt större plats i förekomsten av makerspaces idag. Samtidigt saknas lagstiftning kring skolbibliotekens utformning och skolbiblioteken har både det kulturpolitiska uppdraget och skollagstiftningen att förhålla sig till. Det empiriska materialet består av kvalitativa intervjuer med skolbibliotekarier, elever och lärare, samt observation och policydokument. Resultat- och analysarbetet har genomförts i fyra steg genom att identifiera utsagor, begrepp, subjektpositioner och diskurser. Resultatet och analysen visar att en utbildningsdiskurs ständigt utmanas av en utforskandesdiskurs och en gemenskapshetsdiskurs i makerspaceverksamheten och att diskurserna påverkar vilka positioner subjekten intar. Studien visar också att bibliotekens kulturpolitiska bildningsfrämjande uppdrag har möjlighet att ta plats i en utbildningskontext. 

Abstract [en]

The aim of this study is to investigate a makerspace in a Swedish upper secondary school and how the use of makerspaces in school libraries can be understood based on Ernesto Laclau’s and Chantal Mouffe's theoretical framework. There is a tension between the makerspace's original idea, which is about openness, shared knowledge, exploration and curiosity, and entrepreneurial purposes that have emerged as of late. At the same time, there is a lack of legislation regarding the design of school libraries, and school libraries have both the cultural policy mission and school legislation to adhere to. The empirical material consists of qualitative interviews with school librarians, students and teachers, also observation, and policy documents. The analytical work has been carried out in four stages by identifying statements, concepts, subject positions and discourses. The result and the analysis show that an educational discourse is constantly challenged by an exploration discourse and a community discourse in the makerspace activities and that these discourses in turn influence which positions the subjects take. The study also shows that the libraries’ cultural missions have the opportunity to take place in an educational context.
