Abstract

Abstract In this study, I take a critical look at the presence of narcoculture in reggaeton using as a case study the music video of the remix of ‘Somos de calle’. Specifically, I evaluate whether and to what extent reggaeton’s narco-messages and narco-representations – when they converge with other variables – could potentially influence an individual’s modes of thinking and behaviour. The study does not aim to provide a definitive answer to the debate surrounding this issue. More than anything, it strives to analyse the extent to which the claim that such influence may occur has scientific merit, in order to advocate further research on this matter. The article also discusses the highly politicized debate that has surrounded this topic in public discourse, and how this has seemingly affected its critical assessment in academia. For the analysis I rely particularly on social psychology literature concerning violent media content and in the areas of persuasion studies and prejudice studies, but I also consider literature from other fields, including criminology.
毒品文化对流行音乐的影响:对雷鬼顿的毒品信息和毒品表现的批判性审视
摘要在这项研究中,我以“Somos de calle”混音的音乐视频为例,批判性地审视了雷鬼音乐中毒品文化的存在。具体来说,我评估雷鬼的毒品信息和毒品表征——当它们与其他变量趋同时——是否以及在多大程度上可能影响个人的思维和行为模式。这项研究的目的并不是为围绕这一问题的争论提供一个明确的答案。最重要的是,它努力分析这种影响可能发生的说法在多大程度上具有科学价值,以便倡导对此事进行进一步研究。文章还讨论了公共话语中围绕这一话题的高度政治化辩论,以及这似乎如何影响了学术界对其的批判性评估。在分析中,我特别依赖于有关暴力媒体内容的社会心理学文献,以及说服研究和偏见研究领域的文献,但我也考虑了其他领域的文学,包括犯罪学。
