Representações imagéticas e estereótipos de bibliotecários em filmes e séries

Abstract

The ease of access to films and series is increasingly common as we can access streaming platforms via the internet, not just depending on the option of going to the cinema. In the scenes, which previously highlighted everyday issues, romances or war, little by little we can see different representations of professionals in their stories and sometimes they can be marked with stereotypes, such as the representation of librarians. Such representations do not match reality or even those that people can create, sharing specific stereotypes in their image. It is in this context that we implemented this research which aims to: analyze the representation of librarian professionals projected in films and series and their relationship with that constructed by society. Methodology: exploratory, descriptive research, with a quantitative- qualitative approach, based on bibliographic review and field study. Data collection: questionnaire on Google Forms, accompanied by images of sample librarians previously selected from the films, to be verified. Results: 23 responses, highlighting the social representation of the public and that they met these professionals, mostly through social interaction. With regard to the images of the six films/series, the majority of research participants still reflect the representations expressed in the films/series about this professional: a woman who wears glasses, formal and formal clothes, organized, serves the public well and with a lot of attention. knowledge. Conclusion: you can identify that the stereotype attributed to professionals, even if it continues in certain cases, has already seen some change, which may be related to more modern films or the empowerment of these professionals.
