"Atravesades": the experience of producing a podcast as a tool for sociological reflection

Abstract

In this paper we will address the experience of producing the podcast "Atravesades" (Extension Institute, National University of Villa María, 2023). The four episodes were created for the use of the educational community and social or civil society organizations. Within this framework, the intention was to generate a pedagogical sound product that has conversational elements, interviews and archival material that offer playful experiences for discussion and sociological reflection.

"Atravesades" addresses the issue of gender violence(s), from a perspective of broad conceptualization of violence(s), avoiding the narrow analysis of gender violence as the exercise of physical force that men exert on women. In each episode, these issues are approached from a sociological analytical perspective, through which we seek to offer reflections on a structural problem. Therefore, throughout the episodes we develop a series of theoretical categories from contemporary social theory to discuss their definitions and limitations to address this social problem. In addition, we propose questions as a pedagogical tool to open the debate on violence.
