Introduction
The #BiblioDebout
5th of April to 22th of October 2016
A collaborative and participative library
Free & on a gift basis
In a context of a social movement
🔸“Nuit Debout”, From March to July 2016
🔸Massive occupation of places in French cities and villages
🔸First, a reaction to the El Khomri law,
🔸Then, an opportunity to recreate democratic debate and public space.
Problem
🔸 If the quality of life depends on our capacity for action,
🔸we ought to ask which resources participate in its development,
🔸and thus question the role of knowledge in an empowerment project.
And if public libraries aim to emancipate citizens, thus studying the BiblioDebout could show us another way to reach that goal.
Literature Review
Philosophy
🔸Power and political action depending on knowledge (Aristotle, Foucault)
🔸Knowledge is not enough to insure action (Platon, Bourdieu, Innerarity)
🔸Participation and equality can help to develop a co-dependant relation between knowledge and power (Dewey, Rancière)

Conclusion
Conclusion
BiblioDebout helps to question the political vocation of Public Libraries, a trendy topic in France today.
To take on this role, the PL has to: Redefining its neutrality, Increasing participative projects, Not only « making society », but « making
community », Redefining role of institution: not what is
setting, but what is moving.
