Finally, it is concluded that this newspaper has reproduced the androcentric culture through its sports press Las mujeres han sido despreciadas históricamente por la cultura androcentrista, lo cual se mantiene hasta la actualidad y es una realidad que atraviesa los diferentes ámbitos sociales. Por lo tanto, esta perspectiva patriarcal también se encuentra presente en el deporte y se reproduce a través de la prensa deportiva. Con la intención de indagar en esta problemática, se realizó este estudio que tuvo por objetivo analizar la presencia de hombres y mujeres en la sección deportiva del periódico chileno El Mercurio. La metodología utilizada responde a un enfoque mixto, con un diseño de estudio documental. La muestra documental fue extraída de la versión digital del periódico, la cual corresponde al contenido textual y fotográfico de las noticias deportivas de los últimos siete días del mes de mayo y agosto de 2018. En total se analizaron 478 noticias, que contenían 307 fotografías. Los resultados revelan una amplia desigualdad de género en la visibilidad de los deportes femeninos y masculinos. Igualmente, se identifica como las noticias relativizan el problema del sexismo y generan expectativas de logro favorables para el deporte masculino. Finalmente, se concluye que este periódico ha reproducido la cultura androcentrista por medio de su prensa deportiva Facultad de Ciencia Política y Relaciones Internacionales, Universidad Nacional de Rosario 2020-03-07 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares application/pdf https://latrama.unr.edu.ar/index.php/trama/article/view/717 10.35305/lt.v24i1.717 Journal La Trama de la Comunicación; Vol. 24 No. 1 (2020); 071-084 La Trama de la Comunicación; Vol. 24 Núm. 1 (2020); 071-084 La Trama de la Comunicación; v. 24 n. 1 (2020); 071-084 2314-2634 1668-5628 spa https://latrama.unr.edu.ar/index.php/trama/article/view/717/482 |
