Challenges of feminist dissemination of gender inequality in Spain

Abstract

After a prolonged period of depoliticization, the re-vitalization of feminism has favored the dissemination of situations of discrimination that women face. "Inequality" is a characteristic sociological concern; however, there is an important distance of notions and means within the discipline to properly address the interests and concerns of women. We set up several questions regarding three challenges. Initially we query about the own visibility of gender issues. We do it from two axis of analysis: first, the recognition of androcentrism in the production of sociological knowledge. Secondly, we question the position that gender issues occupy and its topics. The third challenge is related to the representation of mixed data (qualitative and quantitative) and communication in a complex technological context. Gender perspective requires relating the descriptive analysis of the situation with its sociohistorical causes and the concrete consequences for the subjects. It therefore implies managing a considerable volume of mixed data. It generally does it from an evolutionary and comparative perspective. In addition, it requires the use of specific concepts that need to be defined in order to situate the audience in the feminist approach. In this sense, we expose the advantages of infographics in the representation of findings as the main strategy for feminist science dissemination.
