  • This research enters into the disciplinary discussion another proposal to observe the librarian, and particularly his identity. Permeating with this the access of subjectivity to library studies and integrating the ability of the subject to influence the processes of conformation of social space. Under this scenario, the question arises: How has the identity of the librarian been shaped in the library field in Mexico? In order to seek to answer this question, the elements that make it up have had to be defined, namely: the library field in Mexico, the librarian and identity, which have also served to structure the chapters that make up this thesis and that intertwine organically. with the theoretical-conceptual framework of this research. Consequently, the research objective is to reflect on the identity of the librarian in the library field in Mexico. Understanding reflexivity as the action of going back on itself to critically examine its conformation, but also the effect that the identity of the librarian has had on the constitution of the field itself. This is part of a strategy of construction and understanding of the phenomenon itself. The hypothesis that derives from this is that identity is constituted in a dialectical relationship between objective reality and subjective reality, or between the librarian field and the librarian. So there is not one but a variety of possible identities that are outlined in the dialogue between the subject and the field. Thus the formation and maintenance of identity, or rather, identities are determined by the social structure, reciprocally, the social structure is maintained, modified or reformed in the interplay with the identities produced.
