Abstract

Abstract Reggaetón music is very popular among Spanish speaking young people of high school-age. Thus, we intend to examine the values of (in)equality between women and men transmitted in the lyrics of this music genre. Using a Maxqda software-assisted Thematic Analysis methodology, the lyrics of 65 reggaetón songs with the most commercial success during 2020 have been analysed. The results suggest that the most commercialised reggaetón continues to reproduce certain traditional masculine stereotypes (machismo). In the discussion we compare and contrast alternative approaches and positions concerning the reggaetón genre. We feel it is necessary that educational spaces adopt a critical and consciousness raising approach to reggaetón due to the powerful influence exerted on young people regarding sexual stereotypes.

平等与雷鬼顿音乐作为一种社会化因素的影响:批判性分析

抽象的Reggaetón音乐在讲西班牙语的高中生中很受欢迎。因此，我们打算研究在这种音乐类型的歌词中传达的男女平等的价值观。使用Maxqda软件辅助的主题分析方法，分析了2020年商业上最成功的65首reggaetón歌曲的歌词。结果表明，最商业化的reggaetón继续再现某些传统的男性刻板印象(男子气概)。在讨论中，我们比较和对比了关于reggaetón流派的不同方法和立场。我们认为，教育空间有必要对reggaetón采取批判和提高意识的方法，因为在性刻板印象方面对年轻人施加了强大的影响。
