Depictions of people with disabilities and libraries accessibility : A discourse analysis on accessibility and disability in Swedish library trade journals from 2018 to 2021 (English)
Abstract [en]

The subject of accessibility towards people with disabilities is one of importance in librarianship, and one that is brought up in media focused on librarianship such as trade journals. The topic however comes with some complications, such as the width of what accessibility is and entails in librarianship, or how people with disabilities is presented. The intention of this thesis is to use discourse analysis to study the way this subject is discussed and presented in three Swedish library trade journals from 2018 to 2021. This was done by studying the use of terms like accessibility, aids, and accommodation, as well as terms referring to people with disabilities, and the notable identity’s and subject positions present in the trade journals. As a result the analysis found an width of understandings of accessibility, such as accessible book formats, the openness of the library floor, or in one case being welcoming. It also found the presentation of people with disabilities to be sympathetic, coming from a place of trying to help and often explicitly inclusive, yet also often lacking when it came to clearly showing people with disabilities perspectives on the subject, and as a result making them appear passive.
