Abstract [en]
This bachelor's thesis means to understand and identify the new ways librarians need to work, to ensure libraries as true democratic institutions under recent turbulent and antagonistic political times. Consequently, study if this challenges the neutrality norm that librarians may feel the need to attain. Through qualitative textual analysis of articles published in Biblioteksbladet and Magasin K and Chantal Mouffe’s Theory of Agonistic Pluralism as basis for this study, results show an agonistic struggle in a neutral liberal consensus. This entails for instance, the need for preparedness, argumentative skills, courage and an enthusiasm for questioning political pressure in an open debate.
