Bibliotek, bildning och läsning som arena och praktik : en festskrift till Kerstin Rydbeck
- 2023
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Artiklarna i denna festskrift anknyter på olika sätt till Prof. Kerstin Rydbecks forskning och akademiska karriär på Uppsala universitet. Hon har ägnat sin forskargärning till frågor som rör folkbildning, läsning och folkbibliotek. Ett flertal kapitel diskuterar således läsning från olika perspektiv, framförallt metoden Shared Reading. Det finns kapitel som anknyter till folkbildningsforskning, biblioteks- och kulturarvsforskning i Sverige och i Norden samt även artiklar som problematiserar bibliometri, universitetens offentliga roll, samt digital humaniora. Därtill belyser flera kapitel Kerstins insatser inom Uppsala universitet och i olika former av internationella samarbeten. Tanken med boken är att uppmärksamma Kerstins forskargärning, men samtidigt också skapa ett betydande bidrag till kunskap och forskning inom de områden där hon har varit och är verksam.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction. The ability to read and interpret different types of text can be significantly impacted by neuropsychiatric disabilities, which affect cognitive abilities. This paper explores and reviews previous studies within library and information science on neuropsychiatric disabilities in relation to reading practices. Method. Searches were performed in LISA and LISTA to identify research on readers with neuropsychiatric disabilities. Results were screened and 14 peer reviewed articles were chosen for inclusion. Utilising content analysis, the examined articles were deductively and inductively categorised according to the following themes: impairment, user group and context, research design, assistive technologies for reading, reading for information seeking, reading for evaluation, and reading, self-efficacy and identity.Findings. Most articles address dyslexia. The majority of studies have been conducted in educational settings and have an experimental research design. Six studies address assistive technologies for reading, the remaining eight concern reading in relation to information practices.Conclusion. There is an imbalance in the types of impairments that have been addressed in previous research. Few studies concern everyday reading practices and more research outside of educational contexts is needed. Furthermore, there is a lack of research that delves deeper into the experiences of readers with neuropsychiatric disabilities.

Authenticity Matters : The Reading Practices of Swedish Young Adults and Their Views of Public Libraries

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Research speaks of a disconnect between young adults and library culture. Young adults, despite having overall low expectations, often show dissatisfaction with library services, while librarians perceive teens as both a prioritized user group, and a problematic group of users. Ninety-two young adults participated in a focus-group study. The interviews revolved around their views on reading and public library services. Results showed that young adults’ choices to engage in reading practices are influenced by the context of the practice, the motivation for engaging in the practice and the format used.

Changes in the governing of the reading subject. : Swedish reading policy ca 1949 – 1984
- 2021
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this paper is to analyse important shifts in reading policy during the 1940s - 1980s, using Governmental commission reports as empirical material. Drawing on a genealogical method, the shifts are examined in relation to how the ideal reader and reading practices are portrayed in the texts, and what kind of academic knowledge is used to motivate certain actions. Results show how the limits of reading policy have expanded, from the distribution of literature to active reading promotion. Noticeable is also a development from sociological perspectives towards cognitive viewpoints being used as knowledge. We argue that the shifts in reading policy have had consequences for how the individual reader is constructed during the period, from a subject having the potential to change society to a subject adjusting and belonging to society.

Constructing the literate child : An analysis of Swedish literature policy

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article examines Swedish literature policies since the 1970s and the construction of the literate child as expressed in policy texts. Literacy has in the last decades, in Sweden as well as in other countries, been linked to economic growth and citizenship. In these political processes, some reading practices are considered beneficial and others less beneficial or even harmful. Using Carol Bacchi’s policy analysis, this study reveals an increased interest in children’s reading practices. There has been a movement in the argumentation from identifying the lack of access to high-quality literature to emphasising lack of reading ability as the main problem. Also noticeable is that the responsibility of educating children about the virtues of reading are placed on parents in the later policy texts, whereas institutions such as school and libraries are defined as the sole reading-educators in earlier policies. The results presented in this study shed light on the changing conditions for library work.

Läsning för framtidens samhällsmedborgare : en studie av dåtidens och nutidens svenska kulturpolitiska debatter om barns läsning
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Nordisk kulturpolitisk tidskrift. - : Scandinavian University Press / Universitetsforlaget AS. - 1403-3216 .- 2000-8325. ; 24:2, s. 120-138

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Syftet med artikeln är att undersöka hur politik inom området barns och ungas läsning utformats och motiverats under en tidsperiod på cirka hundra år. Analysen omfattar politiska debatter om läsning från tre tidsperioder: 1910-talets diskussion om ”främjande av god och billig nöjesläsning”, 1950-talet med den politiska debatten om förströelselitteratur och seriemagasin, samt 2010-talet och den politiska diskussionen om sjunkande läsförmåga och läsfrämjande insatser som följde i spåren av resultaten från 2012 års PISA-undersökning. Fokus ligger på den syn på barns läsning och litteratur som kommit till uttryck i den kulturpolitiska diskussionen samt de ideal och värden som kopplas till litteratur och läsning. Studien knyter an till forskningsfältet kritiska lässtudier. En annan teoretisk utgångspunkt är den moderna barndomsforskningen och begreppsparet beings och becomings. En slutsats är att barns läsning under samtliga tre tidsperioder framhålls som mycket betydelsefull, både för det enskilda barnet och för samhällets framtid. Det finns också skillnader. Över tid har diskussionen rört sig från frågan om en materiell brist på tillgänglig god litteratur till att istället handla om en oro för minskat läsande och bristande läsförmågor. Medan 1910-talets och 1950-talets diskussioner kretsar kring ”god” kontra ”dålig” litteratur ligger fokus i 2010-talets diskussion på läsning som aktivitet och på olika sätt att tillgodogöra sig läsning. Både 1910-talets och 1950-talets diskussioner präglas av en syn på barn som becomings. Becoming-perspektivet är framträdande även i 2010-talets diskussion, men där finns samtidigt en idé om barn som aktörer med rätt att bli lyssnade till. Utvecklingen ställer nya krav på samt skapar nya förutsättningar för de professioner som arbetar med läsfrämjande verksamheter riktade till barn.

Constructing the Desirable Reader in Swedish Contemporary Literature Policy

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study contributes to a growing number of critical studies of reading that are seeking to understand how reading is constructed socially and politically. It addresses issues concerning why certain types of reading are deemed more appropriate than others in various contexts and historical eras. The aim of the study is to explore constructions of reading, reading promotion, and readers that can be identified in Swedish literature policy 2012-2013 in order to make explicit the implicit assumptions embedded in the politics of reading. This is achieved through a discourse analysis of the Swedish Government Commission report on Literature from 2012 and the subsequent Government Bill from 2013. The analysis focuses on the construction of the ‘problem’ that reading is supposed to solve, the subject-position of the reader, and the knowledge practices that underpin the construction of the ‘problem’. The analysis reveals that the main ‘problem’ is the changing reading habits of the Swedish population and the decline in the reading ability of Swedish children and youth. This is seen as a threat to several important societal values, such as children’s learning and development, democracy, “the culture of reading”, Sweden’s economic competitiveness, and the market for literature. Responsibility for the problem is placed on the school system, parents, and the use of computers and the Internet. The remedy is seen as the promotion of the right kind of literature. Furthermore, the analysis illustrates how the subject position of the appropriate reader is formed around the notion of the harmful non-reader. Similar dividing practices are constructed around youth/adult, pupil/teacher, child/parent, and son/father where the latter is expected to make the former a reader and thereby a desirable subject. The analysis also shows how two contradictory knowledge practices are joined together in the policy texts, where seemingly rational, objective, and empirical research is paired with humanistic Bildung values.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction. This paper introduces an emerging area of research, critical studies of reading, that has been identified and developed by the authors. Approach. Seven features of critical studies of reading research are introduced and the paper argues for how this type of research can shed new light on historical and current reading practices and reading activities. Examples of studies with such features within library and information science, as well as neighbouring disciplines are presented.Conclusions. Future directions for critical studies of reading research are outlined, highlighting the possibilities, as well as the challenges for this emerging area of research.
