"Contra/Tapa": the production of a podcast cycle as a space for articulation between research, teaching and outreach

Abstract

This paper aims to show the activities carried out in the Extension Project "Memoria de Páginas Destruidas" (University Extension Secretariat, National University of Córdoba [UNC]), which combines the collection of testimonies with the elaboration of a didactic device that makes visible the biblioclastic practices that took place during the last military dictatorship in Argentina. The project is articulated with the research "Authors censored during the last military dictatorship. Effects on the Psychology career in Córdoba" (Secretariat of Science and Technology, UNC) and is carried out in co-production with Radio Zeppelin, of the Escuela Superior de Comercio Manuel Belgrano (ESCMB, UNC).
Based on a snowball sampling, nine participants were selected: writers, librarians, booksellers, teachers and intellectuals recognized in the local environment. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed by first open and then thematic coding with the help of ATLAS.Ti software. This analysis allowed the creation of a podcast series called "Contra/Tapa", which will consist of four seasons. We believe that convening university and non-university actors to work together in the design, production and visibility of a documentary collection of oral history contributes to strengthening democratic processes, as well as to the construction of spaces for citizenship and the promotion of human rights.
