Abstract

This research aims to understand the gender relations as an element of the geographic scientific production in Brazil. The path of understading this phenomenon was drawn by a gathering of 90 online scientific journals undercontrol by geographic entities and available to be accessed with the classification of Qualis System – CAPES between the layers A1, A2, B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5, based on the three-year period 2013 – 2015. The collected papers found in these journals presented an universe of 13.990 papers. For comprehension of the current configuration of the postgraduate studies in Brazil, it was made a data collection on the 55 universities with postgraduate studies programs in Geography, which allowed the composition analysis of the teaching and student staff from theses programs, reflecting on the publication of papers. In the same way, it was realized a search in editorial boards of 90 online journals released for access. The dada presented show that the scientific field of the brazilian geographic science is marked by these structural elements that are inserted in daily practices of the legal and institutional systems, keeping a productivity hierarchy of the scientific knowledge. Even if the brazilian geographic science presents a relevant female participation when compared to the male, the women have a less significant participation. It is evident that the gender and sexuality thematics, even inhibited by hegemonic geographic patterns, still has researchers that dare and challenge the fixed borders in scientific field.
