Abstrak
Literacy and literary preferences are interconnected and influence each other in various ways. An individual's level of literacy can affect their preferences when selecting genres, authors, or themes in literature. In a psychoanalytic context, literary preferences can be seen as reflections of one's subconscious. The literature chosen by an individual may mirror their desires, fears, and inner conflicts that they are not consciously aware of. This research explores how the literary preferences of students in Library and Information Science programs reflect their identity from a psychoanalytic perspective. Employing a qualitative approach, data was collected through interviews and questionnaires with 12 students. Psychoanalytic analysis identified various archetypes in literary preferences, such as "Hero," "Sage," "Wizard," and others, reflecting students' aspirations, values, and psychological experiences. Findings indicated a correlation between archetypes and preferred literary genres, as well as the selection of fiction or non-fiction that mirrors individual intellectual needs. Strong emotional connections with literature were also discovered, reflecting self-identification and personal values. This study highlights the psychological significance of literary preferences as mirrors of students' identities and values. Practical implications include a deeper understanding of individual complexities for the development of more effective library services.
