A presença feminina no panorama da narração esportiva porto-alegrense

Abstract

Sports narration is one of the most important functions of radio and its trajectory was built, fundamentally, by male professionals. Even today, opportunities for female narrators are scarce. In the 1970s, Zuleide Ranieri marked an era through the airwaves of the extinct Rádio Mulher-SP. Recently, Isabelly Morais, who gained prominence on Rádio Inconfidência-BH, resumed the discussion about the role of female speakers, in a context, however, unequal. The objective was to describe the profile of female narrators from Porto Alegre in the contemporary panorama, with the specific purpose of verifying the professionals in action, identifying the respective broadcasters and, still, proposing a technical and stylistic analysis of the female narration, with the support of Soares (1994), Schinner (2004) and César (2008). This is a case study article (Yin, 2015). It was found that, of 31 narrators, among 11 radio stations and websites that cover soccer, there are only two active narrators.
