Literacies, hermeneutics, and literature
With the development of new information and communication technologies,
new concepts of extending the concept of literacy have
emerged, such as media literacy, computer literacy, and information
literacy. This paper addresses literary literacy as a form of extended
literacies. The notion of literary here comprehends widely various
fields of literature, with artistic literature as one, although in a sense
paradigmatic, instance. The aspects of reading and literacy emphasized
in this paper will have particular educational significance in
contexts of general school education. Hermeneutics is a classical discipline
of how we should read. It emphasizes aspects of appropriative,
or Bildung-oriented, reading that we can oppose to the instrumental
use of what one reads. Within hermeneutics, and particularly the
sociological studies of literature, the paper also finds foundations
for critical reading. There would be, however, a tension between
the fundamentally hermeneutical appropriative literacy and critical
questioning, and the notion of literary literacy should contain
a dialect between them. The paper emphasizes the significance of
literary literacy, since there is a danger that it disappears behind
more instrumentally emphasized notions of literacy. Similarly, there
is a risk that the everyday plausibility of the demand of being critical
suffocates the appropriative aspects of literacy and reading

From civic educator to a market place - the institutional definitions of the public libraries’ tasks and its development during the Finnish independence
The development of the Finnish public library system can be divided into four phases. During the first two, the Swedish reign and the period of the Autonomy, the library was mainly for the upper classes and for the academic use. The trend to strengthen the library as a key actor in the educational system of the newborn independent Finland meant that the public library became an institution. This started to break down from the 1990’s onward with the implementation of the new public management techniques and with the integration of the library system as one of the key players in the information society development. The paper discusses the role of the Finnish library system in the system of the fictional literature and analyses the changes that have happened during the Finnish history.
