Hope A. Olson | Critical analysis of library classification & Feminist approaches to knowledge organization | Hope A. Olson Critical analysis of library classification Olson draws on deconstructive theory to question the functionality and legitimacy of traditional knowledge organization. Employing Drucilla Cornell’s adaptation of deconstruction (“the philosophy of the limit”), Olson examines the marginalization imposed by the structural limitations of library catalogs. In her research, Olson explores the ethical consequences of inadequate representation and emphasizes the desirability of using knowledge organization as a change agent for the enrichment of users. Feminist approaches to knowledge organization A central tenet of Olson’s writing is the overshadowing effect of a patriarchal worldview on organization systems within the western world. |
