Resumen

Se estudian las críticas a las clasificaciones bibliotecarias desde un punto de vista postestructuralista y pragmatista que se opone al ideal de universalidad en los sistemas de organización del conocimiento. Desde esta perspectiva se hace una revisión de los textos seminales de uno de los autores pioneros en estudios críticos sobre clasificaciones bibliotecarias y se concluye que pese a la búsqueda de neutralidad que impregna algunos de los estudios críticos, éste se trata de un imposible a la vez que contradictorio en la representación de diferentes culturas. El compromiso con el propósito del sistema y la reivindicación de los sesgos se convierten por lo tanto en unos de los principales mecanismos para una ética transcultural en organización y representación del conocimiento
