ABSTRACT

Reggaetón music is very popular among young people of school-age. Thus, we intend to examine the values of equality transmitted in the lyrics of this music genre. Using critical discourse analysis and assisted by the Maxqda software package we analysed the lyrics of 65 of the most popular reggaetón songs of 2020. Results suggest that reggaetón reprises certain traditional masculine stereotypes (machismo). In our discussion we compare 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 by this product of the culture industry.

摘要

Reggaetón 音乐在学龄年轻人中非常流行。因此，我们打算研究这种音乐类型的歌词中传递的平等价值观。我们使用批判性话语分析并在 Maxqda 软件包的协助下分析了 2020 年 65 首最流行的雷鬼歌曲的歌词。结果表明，雷鬼重现了某些传统的男性刻板印象（大男子主义）。在我们的讨论中，我们比较了有关雷鬼音乐流派的替代方法和立场。我们认为，由于这种文化产业的产物对年轻人产生了强大的影响，教育空间有必要对雷鬼音乐采取批判和提高意识的方法。
