Representação do bibliotecário na sociedade e na literatura fantástica

Abstract

The major objective of this study is to address the representation of the librarian attributed by the society presenting convergent and divergent points with the representation of the librarian in the fantastic literature. This research presents information about the identity of the librarian, the academic and social perception that make up the collective identity of this profession, and how fantastic literature is a reflection of reality. This monograph is exploratory in a quali-quantitative approach in which the questionnaire was used as an instrument for collecting data on the image that society currently assigns to the librarian and the reading form was also used for the collection physical characteristics, professional behaviors, activities that perform during the craft and workplaces of the five librarians of the fantastic literature chosen to be analyzed in this study. After analyzing the social representation of the librarian and the representation of this professional in the fantastic literature it was found that deconstructing the social image of a profession is a gradual process.
