This research analyses sexual prejudice in sixteen dancehall and reggae songs—two musical genres indigenous to Jamaica. The analysis provides us with insights on the lenses through which some Jamaicans view same-sex relationships and how sexual prejudice is normalised and justified. In this sample of songs, homosexuality is presented as (1) a violation of gendered norms, (2) sinful, (3) unnatural, (4) a threat to society and (5) a foreign lifestyle. The presentation of homosexuality as a foreign lifestyle suggests that antigay prejudice could be related to fears of neo-imperialism and could be a means of rejecting ideological intrusions from the West.

Man to Man, Gal to Gal……错了:牙买加流行音乐中如何反映性偏见的分析

这项研究分析了 16 首舞厅和雷鬼歌曲(牙买加本土的两种音乐流派)中的性别偏见。该分析为我们提供了有关一些牙买加人看待同性关系的视角以及如何使性偏见正常化和合理化的见解。在这首歌曲样本中,同性恋表现为 (1) 违反性别规范,(2) 有罪,(3) 不自然,(4) 对社会的威胁和 (5) 异国生活方式。同性恋作为一种外国生活方式的表述表明,反同性恋偏见可能与对新帝国主义的恐惧有关,并且可能是拒绝西方意识形态入侵的一种手段。
