Estrategar: research from a transdisciplinary approach in the complexity of gender in Social Sciences

Abstract

Multiple social and political events in the last 15 years in Argentina and in the world have allowed gender-based issues to become a problematic knot that could link different views, approaches and methodologies. We lead an investigation whose problematic nucleus was approached from the various disciplines that support the careers that are part of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the National University of Lomas de Zamora whose distinctive characteristic is to be the first University in the history of the Argentine National Universities founded in Greater Buenos Aires.

It is interesting to approach gender issues from various social disciplines since we understand that gender is a variable concept and that it is historically constructed by societies.

We have worked from the paradigm of complexity and the New Strategic Theory (NTE) as broader frameworks that place us in front of what we perceive, investigate and apply. From this epistemological and theoretical framework we have had the opportunity to cross the different objects of study in the field of communication with the necessary concept of Strategy. The concept of ESTRATEGAR (Pérez, 2001) involves working with the three main ideas of current epistemology from which we approach our object of study: complex conception, transdisciplinarity and systemic vision.
