Abstract
This paper reports on a systematic literature review of CAIS/ACSI and ASIS&T conference proceedings to identify, analyze, and map the application of feminist theories, methods, and epistemologies across a sample of LIS research. We seek a better understanding of feminist theories in LIS to a) identify how/where it has been taken up (and not taken up); b) identify feminist research themes and influence over time and across subdomains; and c) to consider how to build on intersectional feminist theories and praxis in LIS to move toward a critical intersectional femiLISt movement that is embraced and embedded within our field.
Keywords:
- intersectional feminisms,
- Library and Information Studies,
- systematic literature review
Résumé
Cet article rend compte d’une revue systématique de la littérature des actes des conférences CAIS/ACSI et ASIS&T pour identifier, analyser et cartographier l’application des théories, des méthodes et des épistémologies féministes à travers un échantillon de recherche en sciences de l’information (SI). Nous cherchons à mieux comprendre les théories féministes en SI pour a) identifier comment/où elles ont été reprises (et non reprises) ; b) identifier les principaux thèmes de recherche féministes et leur influence dans le temps et dans les sous-domaines de recherche ; et c) considérer comment s’appuyer sur les théories et les pratiques féministes intersectionnelles en SI pour évoluer vers un mouvement féministe intersectionnel critique qui est adopté et intégré dans notre domaine.
