He asserts that these two types of libraries clearly demonstrate   socially stratified service for the upper, middle and lower classes. That is, these libraries were classist because they universalized a system of values belonging to the ruling class in the context of the market and economic power related to the cultural sphere of capitalism.  It is also clear that the pursuit of knowledge and information in these libraries was not feasible for most members of the working class because they had to daily perform exhausting and stressful tasks. El autor explica que las bibliotecas de suscripción y las bibliotecas circulantes durante los siglos XVIII y XIX en la Gran Bretaña reflejan una división de clases. Afirma que esos dos tipos de bibliotecas muestran una clara estratificación social de servicio en torno a las clases altas, medias y bajas. Es decir, esas bibliotecas fueron clasistas por la razón de que universalizaron un sistema de valores que pertenecían a la clase dominante en un contexto de mercado y poder económico, correspondiente a la esfera cultural del capitalismo. Es evidente también que la búsqueda de conocimiento e información en esas bibliotecas no fue posible para la mayoría de los miembros de la clase trabajadora porque, día tras día, realizaban tareas agotadoras y estresantes. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/1055 10.34096/ics.i31.1055 spa Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/1055/1034 Información, cultura y sociedad; No. 31 (2014): Diciembre; 11-28 Información, cultura y sociedad; Núm. 31 (2014): Diciembre; 11-28 1851-1740 1514-8327 Bibliotecas de suscripción Bibliotecas privadas Bibliotecas circulantes Bibliotecas comerciales Bibliotecas de préstamo Sociedad de clases División de clases Subscription libraries Circulating libraries Private libraries Commercial libraries Lending libraries Class society Social stratification Class division Libraries and Class Division: Quasi-Public Libraries in the Bourgeois British System Before the Twentieth Century Bibliotecas y división de clases: las bibliotecas cuasi públicas en el sistema burgués británico durante los siglos XVIII-XIX info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=biblioinfo&d=1055_oai
