Identidade, religião e a formação discursiva nos sistemas de classificação biblográfica

Abstract

With the support of the concept of the discursive formation of Michel Foucault and studies on the question of identity, this paper presents an analysis of the fading of discourses within classification systems, Classification Decimal Dewey (DDC) and Universal Decimal Classification (UDC). In order to operationalise the proposed analysis, examined the bibliographic classification schemes and met some of the narratives of experts of religion, to reflect on the role of these systems and their arrangement in knowledge representation of an article, a scientist of religion, a spiritist, an evangelical and a priest. At this point, it also relied on questions of identity for the understanding of how discourse control procedures and their legitimation can promote the naturalization of the absence of peoples and beliefs in both DDC and UDC, systems that are intended to be applied Universally. In the results, it is observed that the analysis of the arrangement of the systems of bibliographic classification as well as of the narratives of religion specialists have proved the systems the issue of Catholic bias in these systems, as well as pointing out the need to mobilize new tools that contribute to the non-hegemonic representation of knowledge.
