These interdependent networks can be used to extend the library. It is a process involves an activity of branching (or even ‘forking’, technically speaking) the library models which have a centralised nature, and a hierarchical structure, which includes who decides about the library content, its paths to expansion, the interface with the public, and the public itself.
|
||||
|
||||
In this sense, the library, as a model, an infrastructure, and more than anything a paradigm, is a collection of culture that represents a conscious or unconscious curatorial perspective on one side. On the other side, it is also a collection that is activated by the public, and depending from what they host they activate a different public imaginary. So it “supports the functions of the imaginary”  through the ideas circulating through its publications, which can be “both repressive and emancipatory” because of both its content in itself, and how the curational process has been taken.

In this sense, some of the foundations of the publishing preserving (the library) systems are questioned in this different systemic embodiment. It is inevitable then to mention Barthes’ consequential relationship between the “birth of the reader” and “the death of the author”[^2]. They deeply question “ownership, copyright and the subjects supposed to know” , which can be connected with what we might call now a neoliberal vision of the library.

The gap between the tools (the excavator) and the crises (the Evergreen) is an
|
||||
imaginary. The construction of an imaginary, a re-writing of history, allows
|
||||
one to step into the future. The imaginary is latent inside a library. A
|
||||
library is not a place. It is simply curated information.
|
||||
one to step into the future.
|
||||
|
||||
The new imaginary does not necessarily arise from acts of imaginations. Often
|
||||
it is already present in the raw materials we have at hand. It is *latent*
|
||||
inside the library. There is a process of refactoring, often beginning in the
|
||||
linguistic domain, but manifesting in an ontological shift.
|
||||
|
||||
We can conceptualize this shift with reference to the bi-stable images from
|
||||
perceptual psychology. The balerina who rotates both clockwise and
|
||||
counterclockwise. The Necker cube whose orientation is unclear. The dress that
|
||||
is both black and white. The material content does not change, but the
|
||||
perceived gestalt changes entirely.
|
||||
|
||||
How to provoke that shift in perception, that re-organization of the archive?
|
||||
This is the role of art, as Alva Noe argues.

A team of scientists [^1], in a 2020 study on the "Future of the Human Climate Niche", have predicted that under the business-as-usual global warming scenario by 2070 a third of humanity, populating the most densely inhabited regions of the world, will be living will under climate conditions dangerous to human lives. Currently, it's only 30 million people who live under such conditions. Without rapid mitigation and adaptation measures, such environmental stress will cause a mass displacement and migration, leading likely to a radical expansion of walled borders and armed lifeboat politics in the Global North. At the same time, the aging population in the Global North will require a radical expansion of migrant labour to sustain productivity and welfare, but only under a condition of very limited social and economic integration. One likely strategy might be to resort to the regime of migrant labour regulation that predominates in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, where migrant labour class is excluded from most civil rights based on origin and skill, with an underclass that is forced to live in frequently inhumane conditions of labour camps. This will require a restructuring of the capitalist economy and the democratic societies, comparable to that in the GCC, a valuable insight into which is provided by Adam Hanieh's _Capital and Class_.[^2] Under such conditions, the politics of intercultural translation and access to culture will be strained to create care across (class, linguistic and cultural) difference.[^3]
