| Abstract: | In her article "The Library and the Librarian as a Theme in Literature," Teresa Vilariño Picos
explores in several languages and genres (literature, cinema, television), the image of the library and
the librarian. Vilariño Picos argues that the image of the library and the librarian often refer the reader
or viewer to a perception where the space of books represents universal humanity and knowledge
despite the often negative view depicted. In Vilariño Picos's discussion particular attention is paid to
the works of Elias Canetti, Jorge Luis Borges, Umberto Eco, and David Lodge in literature and Alain
Resnais film and Manolo Valdés in art. As well, she explores the theme in videogames and television
series. |
