Dime lo que escuchas y te diré quién eres. Representaciones de la mujer en las 100 canciones de reggaetón más populares en 2018

Abstract

El propósito del presente trabajo es analizar y caracterizar el rol de la mujer en las representaciones de los vídeos, letras y lugar de las intérpretes dentro del reggaetón. Se analizan 100 vídeos y letras de canciones más populares en 2018; se utiliza para el análisis de los vídeos la observación detallada con registro y para las letras el análisis temático, que consta de seis fases: familiarización con los datos, generación de categorías o códigos iniciales, búsqueda de temas, revisión de temas, definición y denominación de temas e informe final. Los resultados evidencian que la mujer en estas canciones es sexualizada, objetivada, descrita a través de modelos relacionales tradicionales y negativos, lo que convierte el reggaetón en un espacio que transmite principalmente el modelo de la identidad del disfrute.

(In)Equality and the Influence of Reggaeton Music as a Socialisation Factor: A Critical Analysis

“…With numerous quotes from intellectuals aimed at reflecting on the sexist lyrics of this genre of music, the campaign's purpose was to alert youngsters to certain contents of reggaetón lyrics and ask questions about what impact they might have on the young people who spend so much time listening to its messages. The fact is that the vision reflected in most of the studies reviewed here shows that the exaltation of heteronormativity, hypermasculinity and the objectification of women is still present in most reggaetón songs (Merlyn, 2020;Navarro & Pastor, 2021).…”

“…As limitations of this research, it should be pointed out that in the analysis carried out we have not introduced questions related to the posture, voice, and intertextual devices of the songs analysed, which could have enriched the analysis and the results of the research, something that points to the need to continue to deepen in this sense. Further, it would also be important to analyse the images and representations that accompany the songs in the promotional videos and their impact on the view of (in)equality that influences the new generations (Merlyn, 2020). in the field of Intercultural Education, Gender and Educational policy.…”

“…The Puerto Rican rapper, Vico C, is regarded as the father of reggaetón and since its emergence in the 1980s this genre has grown in popularity worldwide. In fact, global trends suggest that reggaetón is the most listened to Spanish language music genre (Merlyn, 2020) and very popular amongst millions of girls and boys, mostly of high school-age. The objectives of the research we have carried out focus on analysing the values that the lyrics of this music are transmitting to adolescent school-age students, given the influence of reggaetón on young audiences.…”

“…Moreover, through their lyrics, popular songs offer a particular vision of the world, transmit values, ideals, create role models and idols which, emotionally charged as they are, have a profound effect and a powerful influence on the behaviour and attitudes of their young audiences (Escobar, 2022;Merlyn, 2020).…”

Educación reguetón

“…Desde que nació el reguetón de la mano del rapero de Puerto Rico, Vico C, en los años ochenta, se ha extendido por todo el mundo. La tendencia global indica que lo más escuchado en español es reguetón (Merlyn, 2020). Decenas de millones de chicos y chicas en todo el mundo, la mayor parte en edad escolar, corean sus canciones con ritmos muy pegajosos.…”
