La presente investigación se inscribe en la tradición de los estudios de género y examina, mediante un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo, una de las principales revistas musicales de España, como fue Vibraciones. El objetivo principal es conocer el tratamiento informativo otorgado a la mujer en la prensa musical, mediante un análisis de contenido que nos permita descubrir cómo se transmiten los roles y estereotipos y de qué manera se configuran las identidades sexuales en la música de la década de los ochenta del siglo pasado. Una fecha clave con cambios sociales, políticos y económicos que propicia el contexto adecuado para llevar a cabo un análisis de cómo la prensa musical ha ido incurriendo en una discriminación de género hacia las artistas. Los resultados muestran una cifra ínfima de contenidos e imágenes protagonizados por mujeres, abundando los estereotipos físicos compatibles con una cosificación y revelando que el lenguaje de los medios es un arma de control que puede utilizarse para ejecutar opresión, impregnando la obra de las mujeres de una misoginia que trasciende fronteras culturales, geográficas y estéticas.
Gender issues have fortunately become a topic of growing interest in research into contemporary music and artistic scenes. With the aim of obtaining data on the exclusion of gender in the current conditions imposed by COVID-19, the investigation is focused on learning how women in the cultural and artistic sector have offered resistance to the cultural policies that continue to discriminate them. The methodology focal point is geared to examine the issues related to the practices that have condemned women by history and how gender inequalities are expressed in the 21st century. The study’s base is an intersectional sample of 20 female interpreters and professionals of the musical industry in the Spanish territory in different roles and genres: producers, managers, singers, composers and music critics. The answers were drawn first from radio interviews with a qualitative slant during 2018-19 and later in the post COVID scenario in spring of 2021, and organized in three analytical categories: profession, prestige and recognition of women's musical creations/productions and how their representation was portrayed by media/public. The results provided some meanings relevant to the opportunities and careers they could access. Although the arts and culture are women's worlds are pierced by cumulative disadvantages: gender stereotypes, difficulties in reconciling work and family life, objectification and sexual harassment, the conclusions extracted divulge claims in synthony with their own responses: the more i fight, the more i feel alive!; what if women had the power?; and no more twenty feet from stardom.
