Bibliotecas vivas resistem: ações promovidas pela Biblioteca Sinhá Junqueira no combate às desigualdades
Resumen
The aim of this paper is to understand the impact of the "living library" model, which
is geared towards combating the inequalities of minorities and vulnerable groups. We
will defend the living library model as a library format that provokes resistance from
people who have historically been excluded from their rightful democratic spaces.
The model aims to respond to these demands through access to information,
education, literature and participation in decision-making. Therefore, based on the
partial case study of the Sinhá Junqueira Library, we will present the socio-cultural
actions that serve and represent this section of society, and which are based on the
Sustainable Development Goals and the IFLA- UNESCO 2022 Public Library
Manifesto. The research is based on an exploratory and qualitative bibliographic
review, with an extensive search for literature on "living libraries" and information
mediation. It was possible to observe the importance of the practice of information
mediation carried out in favor of social protagonism, aiming to increase the
participation of different minority groups in the construction of the BSJ, which implies
the improvement of the lives of the subjects of these groups. We conclude that the
living library is a non-traditional, contemporary library model that expands the
horizons for the debate on the future of libraries and contributes to reducing
inequalities.
