À quem recorremos quando falamos sobre gênero na Comunicação? Aspectos de colonialidade e decolonialidade a partir da bibliografia utilizada nas pesquisas da área

The main purpose of this article is to discuss how aspects of coloniality and decoloniality appear in the scientific production of the area, based in the bibliographic references used in articles that present an intersection between Communication and Gender. To support this debate, we analyze 155 articles published in Qualis A1 and A2, in the area ofCommunication and Information, between 2000 and 2019, using the bibliometric method, combined with textual and network analysis. With these strategies, we seek to identify the themes of the works and the authors most used in this research. Our argument is that the phenomena lack new epistemological perspectives, but this comes up against several problems, such as the focus of references from Western European countries and the United States.
