Abstract
Este artículo estudia el papel de las mujeres en los anuncios te-levisivos durante los dos primeros años de pandemia por COVID-19 en España y Portugal. A través de un diseño metodológico mixto y de inspiración semióti-ca elaboramos una ficha de análisis que incorpora variables relacionadas con cuestiones de género, estereotipos femeninos y representatividad de la mujer en publicidad. Analizamos una muestra de anuncios televisivos emitidos en televi-sión y en horario de prime time de ambos países. Se pudo constatar qué si bien las mujeres han emergido con cierto protagonismo, se las retrata frecuentemente como cuidadoras, madres y amas de casa. En este sentido, reflexionamos sobre el papel de la publicidad como vehículo determinante para mitigar las diferencias y, en consecuencia, para una posible deconstrucción de los estereotipos de género.
This article studies the role of women in television advertisements during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain and Portugal. Through a mixed methodological design and semiotically inspired, we elaborated an analysis sheet that incorporates variables related to gender issues, female stereotypes and representativeness of women in advertising. We analyze a sample of television advertisements broadcast on television and during prime time in both countries. It was found that although women have emerged with a certain prominence, they are frequently portrayed as caregivers, mothers and housewives. In this sense, we reflect on the role of advertising as a determining vehicle to mitigate differences and, consequently, for a possible deconstruction of gender stereotypes.
