Oct. 1st, 2007 02:07 pmIn the library we use a classification system called "Library of Congress".
H is the class for the social sciences, so obviously it's by far the biggest section.
Various other letters create subdivisions, such that HF is commerce, HG is finance, and so on.
My coworkers think I'm a conspiracy theorist - and perhaps that's true - but something's been niggling at the back of my mind about this every time I go out shelving, and today I realised what it was.
Q and X. Weird letters. UK vehicle number plates won't even touch Q, it's so strange, see how it demands U to follow it around eveyhwhere; and X is all b-movies and malevolent technology and secrets.
And to what subdivisions does the Library of Congress classification system bequeath the labels Q and X?
HQ: Family; Marriage; Women; Sexuality
HX: Socialism; Communism; Anarchism
Feminism. Queer theory. Marxism.
The Library of Congress shelves these under Q and X.
Share in my psychoses, flist?
