Abstract

This article systematizes the results of a field cartography (MARTÍN-BARBERO, 2002) that guide radio research based on an exploratory survey in the annals of the Congresses of the Portuguese Society of Communication Sciences between 2013 and 2019. The focus is on the articles presented in the Radio and Sound Media Working Group. The objective is to characterize Brazil as one of the main references in radio research, which breaks paradigms and goes against the hegemony of Eurocentric thought present in other fields of knowledge and even in the flow of scientific information. The main conclusion is that radiophonic and sound media studies carried out by Brazilian researchers show that an epistemology based on the knowledge and practices of the South is possible, shedding light on an intellectual journey that is not limited to the Global North (SANTOS, 2007).
