Anti-systemic library

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The principle of an anti-systemic library is that it does not have a catalogue, i.e. a hierarchical organisation of knowledge. Instead it needs bibliographies. This idea has been developed in conjunction with Danish Situationist Asger Jorn's notion of Triolectics and the work of the American philosopher Charles Peirce.

The creation of an anti-systemic library was started at the London Action Resource Centre in Whitechapel. However it soon spread to 24 nodes in 14 countries. After the landlords of the London Action Resource Centre revised their policies it is now unclear whether the library there still participates in the project.
