Descrição: The decisions they make and the structures to which they are bound affect the circulation of books and their readers across the library. Because the classifications are hidden from patrons’ view, it is difficult to measure the way the order affects a person’s mind and body. If you really think about it, the very idea of reducing any book to a few authorized subject headings and fitting it into a disciplinary arrangement on the shelves is rather peculiar. Historicizing library subjects reveals the relationship between information and politics and violence, and shows that classifications don’t just structure knowledge: they structure experience, encounters, and feelings, and they are structured by politics and people in positions of power.
