Abstract
Más allá del ámbito específico de los estudios de género, la epistemología feminista va calando en los distintos campos científicos poco a poco. Esto se traduce en su presencia en las temáticas de las publicaciones científicas, en congresos, en los planes de estudios y actividades que se desarrollan desde la educación superior. El objetivo de las epistemologías feministas es acercarse a una objetividad que mejore la ciencia. Esta objetividad puede corregir los prejuicios sexistas y androcéntricos que ofrecen una visión parcial del mundo (Reverter-Bañón, 2017). Por ello es importante la transdisciplinariedad de los estudios de género en la educación superior, desde las publicaciones científicas hasta las actividades docentes y de divulgación de la ciencia. Para visibilizar la perspectiva de género en los estudios de Biblioteconomía y Documentación (ByD) o de Información y Documentación (IyD), se realiza una revisión bibliográfica a fin de describir las categorías en las que se pueden enmarcan estas publicaciones. Las temáticas de las publicaciones abarcan desde la producción de las profesoras de IyD, informes con perspectiva de género, inclusión en los planes de estudios con perspectiva de género, diversidad sexual y bibliotecas de mujeres, entre otros temas. La revisión tiene como objetivo la categorización de las publicaciones sobre ámbito docente, la actividad investigadora y de divulgación y permitirá destacar en qué puntos se está trabajando para fomentar la perspectiva de género en los estudios de IyD. Por otro lado, uno de los puntos fuertes de las epistemologías feministas es la visibilización del trabajo de las mujeres u otros grupos minoritarios acallados y menos presentes debido al patriarcado, el capitalismo y el colonialismo. La visibilización del trabajo de las mujeres en IyD sigue siendo importante puesto que en los planes de estudio y publicaciones científicas no encontramos muchos nombres de mujeres profesionales o académicas ni temáticas con perspectiva de género. Con el objetivo de demostrar una buena práctica de visibilización del trabajo de las mujeres dentro de las bibliotecas y de colaboración entre la universidad y las instituciones públicas teniendo presente la perspectiva de género, se presenta la exposición “Bibliotecarias Audaces” realizada por la Biblioteca Municipal de La Laguna “Adrián Alemán de Armas” en 2018. La exposición fue cedida y ha quedado ubicada permanente en la Facultad de Comunicación y Documentación de la Universidad de Granada (UGR). Desde la Biblioteca Municipal de La Laguna “Adrián Alemán de Armas”, se quiso hacer y se hizo un reconocimiento a las bibliotecarias que a lo largo de la historia y del mundo han contribuido al progreso tanto en las labores técnicas como en los servicios bibliotecarios. La exposición representa de manera plural a las profesionales más destacadas en numerosos países y en distintas etapas a lo largo del tiempo. Aunque ese número de bibliotecarias incluidas fue limitado en la exposición llevada a cabo y que se comenta y difunde en este trabajo, hay que reconocer que son muchas más las que han contribuido, de una manera u otra, a la evolución y desarrollo de las bibliotecas.
Beyond the specific field of gender studies, feminist epistemology is gradually permeating the different scientific fields. This is reflected in its presence in the themes of scientific publications, in congresses, in the curricula and activities developed in higher education. The objective of feminist epistemologies is to approach an objectivity that improves science. This objectivity can correct sexist and androcentric prejudices that offer a partial vision of the world (Reverter-Bañón, 2017). For this reason, the transdisciplinarity of gender studies in higher education is important, from scientific publications to teaching and science dissemination activities. In order to make the gender perspective visible in Library and Information Science (LIS), a bibliographic review is carried out to describe the categories in which these publications can be framed. The topics of the publications range from the production of women professors of LIS, reports with a gender perspective, inclusion in curricula with a gender perspective, sexual diversity, and women's libraries, among others. The purpose of the review is to categorize publications on teaching, research, and dissemination activities and to highlight where work is being done to promote the gender perspective in LIS. On the other hand, one of the strengths of feminist epistemologies is the visibility of the work of women or other minority groups silenced and less present due to patriarchy, capitalism, and colonialism. The visibilization of women's work in LIS is still important since in the curricula and scientific publications we do not find many names of women professionals or academics or topics with a gender perspective. With the aim of demonstrating a good practice of visibilization of the work of women within libraries and collaboration between the university and public institutions bearing in mind the gender perspective, the exhibition "Bibliotecarias Audaces" made by the Municipal Library of La Laguna "Adrián Alemán de Armas" in 2018 is presented. The exhibition was loaned and has been permanently located in the Faculty of Communication and Documentation of the University of Granada (UGR). From the Municipal Library of La Laguna "Adrián Alemán de Armas", we wanted to make and made a recognition to the librarians who throughout history and the world have contributed to progress in both technical work and library services. The exhibition represents in a plural way the most outstanding professionals in many countries and at different stages throughout time. Although the number of women librarians included was limited in the exhibition carried out and discussed and disseminated in this work, it must be recognized that there are many more who have contributed, in one way or another, to the evolution and development of libraries.
