✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Knowledge organization (KO) needs to broaden up by incorporating into its theory the social activities based on document production and use. This very document production and use is constituted by genre‐based human activities. Genres communicate and organize certain stabilized forms of human communicative activities and KO can be conceptualized as the typified response to these activities. What theoretical frameworks can be established for analyzing the connection between the broader social organization and the LIS‐concept of KO? From various perspectives this session seeks to examine the connection between the LIS‐conception of KO and social organization, insofar the latter is constituted by genre and activity systems and expressed through the production and use of documents or written genres in various contexts.
