Abstract
CARVALHO, Carlos Alberto de. Conceptual and Methodological Interconnections in Communication, Journalism, and Gender Relations Research. RLEC/LJCS [online]. 2022, vol.9, n.1, pp.169-185. Epub May 01, 2023. ISSN 2184-0458. https://doi.org/10.21814/rlec.3828.
In this article, I reflect on the impacts of theoretical and methodological contributions developed in gender relations studies to overcome heuristic limits in communication and journalism research. After analyzing studies on how the media covers physical and symbolic violence against women, events related to homophobia and its consequences, and the first cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome made public, I indicate how the social dynamics in gender relations can be potential disruptors of certainties. However, my analysis of these studies revealed that we could find limits and formulaic repetition in gender relations research as well, leading me to a challenge: how can we deal with repetitions that tend to disregard particularities of phenomena in communication, journalism, and gender relations research, also considering the potential interconnections in these fields?
