  • ¿Fiera Salvaje O Flan De Coco? — Un Estudio Sobre La Construcción Metafórica De Género En Letras De Reguetón Común Y Feminista
    Lund University, Centre for Languages and Literature Johanna Hagner (2019) Master’s Thesis, 15 credits Master of Arts in Language and Linguistics ¿Fiera salvaje o flan de coco? — un estudio sobre la construcción metafórica de género en letras de reguetón común y feminista A Wild Beast or a Sweet Dessert? — a study on metaphorical construction of gender in mainstream and feminist reggaeton lyrics Supervisor: Carlos Henderson Examinator: Jordan Zlatev Resumen La presente investigación examina el papel de la metáfora dentro de la construcción de femineidad, masculinidad y sexualidad en las letras del género musical reguetón. Basándose en un corpus representativo del contenido lírico de, por una parte, el reguetón común y, por otra parte, la corriente de reguetón feminista, el estudio toma una perspectiva interdisciplinaria combinando la lingüística cognitiva, el Análisis Crítico del Discurso y la perspectiva de género en su análisis. La tesis arguye que las metáforas animales y las metáforas gastronómicas desempeñan un papel significativo en la transmisión de ideas de género en las letras investigadas. Se sostiene que en el reguetón común, estas metáforas tienden a tener un enfoque en la mujer y en el aspecto físico y seductivo de la femineidad. El reguetón feminista, por su parte, se caracteriza por más variedad en sus conceptualizaciones. En este grupo de material, la interacción seductiva también juega un rol importante; no obstante, el autorretrato femenino y la resistencia a las normas heterosexuales y patriarcales llevan un enfoque mayor. Asimismo, se destaca que en la construcción metafórica del amor homosexual entre mujeres, el reguetón feminista tiende a tener más similitudes con la conceptualización del reguetón común.

The majority of these studies have focused on the interaction between a local language and a non-local language. In this project, I propose an analysis of the mixture of two world languages (Spanish and English), which can be categorised as both local and non-local. I do this through the analysis of the enormously successful reggaeton genre, which is characterised by its use of Spanglish. I used two data types to inform my research: a corpus of code-switching instances in top 20 reggaeton songs, and a questionnaire on attitudes towards Spanglish in general and in music. I collected 200 answers to the questionnaire – half from American English-speakers, and the other half from Spanish-speaking Hispanics of various nationalities.

  • 1 Reggaetón: Pleasure, Perreo, and Puerto Rico an Accumulation Of
    1 Reggaetón: Pleasure, Perreo, and Puerto Rico An accumulation of American hip hop, Latin American culture, and Caribbean style, reggaetón is a modern music style combining rapping and singing that arose in 1990s Puerto Rico. In a purgatory between a medium that externalizes misogynistic perceptions of women and a medium in which women can experience power through the reinvention of their sexuality, reggaetón’s identity is a topic of controversy in Puerto Rican popular culture today. The first perspective views reggaetón as a medium that sexually oppresses women through its lyrics and associated dance styles, contributing to Puerto Rico’s preexisting misogynistic culture. Direct lyrics from male reggaetón artists as well as academic articles, will provide a direct lens into the impact of the sexist nature of reggaetón. The second perspective considers reggaetón, specifically for female artists, as a zone for women to employ power through their sexuality. Ivy Queen is a case study that is exemplary for the second perspective. Considering both perspectives relative to one another provides insight into the consequences of reggaetón in contemporary Puerto Rico. To understand the cultural significance reggaetón has in contributing to gender inequality, it is first essential to consider the historical implications of sexuality and race in Puerto Rico. When colonized by the Spanish, a majority of the indigenous population was wiped out by disease and forced labor, instigating the mass influx of African slavery. Black female slaves were often the victims of sexual assault and violent rape by white slave owners. Thus, ​ there existed an inherent sexualization of darker-skinned women by Spanish colonizers because their “darker-hued black female body [suggested] a 'natural' propensity for exotic sexual labor” (Herrera 44).

  • “Standardization of Cultural Products in Latin Pop-Music”
    “STANDARDIZATION OF CULTURAL PRODUCTS IN LATIN POP-MUSIC” RESEARCH PAPER PREPARED FOR THE 28TH ANNUAL ILASSA CONFERENCE ON LATIN AMERICA TO BE HELD AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN FROM FEBRUARY 7TH THROUGH FEBRUARY 9TH ISRAEL ALONSO CHAVEZ LATIN AMERICAN AND CARIBBEAN CENTER FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY MIAMI, FLORIDA [email protected] 2008 Introduction 2 This work represents the initial stage of a project whose seed germinated thanks in part to what seems to be an ongoing debate between two different approaches to music in the sociological field. The first approach puts much of its emphasis on the functional dimension of music. That is, on the social functions it performs, enables and enhances; but also on its economic functionality. The subservience of music to economic ends does not imply a loss in terms of creativity for the representatives of this perspective. The second perspective does not deny that music fulfills certain economic and social functions. Yet, unlike the former, the latter warns against the atrophy of creativity that can be brought about by the models implented by “the culture industries”, to use Theodor W. Adorno’s concept. My concern here lies with the question of whether the claims made by this important member of the Frankfurt school about the products of “the culture industries” can be substantiated with empirical evidence. I want to investigate whether popular music (Latin pop music in this case) is indeed, as Adorno says, just another standardized product fashioned after the formulas of “the culture industries”. This work, however, forms part of a broader preoccupation with the issue of musical style, what causes it and what makes it change.

  • Music 103 Syllabus
    MUS 103: HIP HOP SEMESTER/YEAR???? ?? Shepard Hall Prof. Chadwick Jenkins ([email protected]) Days/Times Office: 78B Shepard Hall; Phone: X7666 Office Hours: ?? Course Objectives: This course will explore the history of hip hop from the earliest formations of the genre in the 1970s to the current moment. This course will have four primary areas of emphasis. First, although we will be interested in other elements of hip hop culture (including dancing, graffiti, literature, etc.), our primary focus will be on the music (the DJ, MC, and production techniques that go into producing hip hop tracks and albums). Second, this class will emphasize the development of the business and promotional aspects of hip hop. Hip hop has become a major business venture for recording studios, record labels, fashion venues, etc. and has had a huge impact on Black and White business in the US. Third, we will devote a large portion of our time to the developing technologies surrounding hip hop including turn tables, drum machines, MPCs, etc. Fourth and finally, we will explore the cultural and political impact hip hop has had on representations of Blackness, political views of violence and equity, and constructions of gender, race, and authenticity. Thus, this class will contribute to the following Departmental Learning Outcomes: 1) Outline major periods in the development of hip hop and recall key facts, writers, performers, technological advances, producers, and ideas; 2) Identify the technological developments contributing to hip hop, the business of hip hop production, and the impact hip hop has had on the social and political life of the US and beyond; 3) Identify different genres, performers, and musical styles through listening; 4) Demonstrate proficiency in writing about key concepts in hip hop history with a focus on descriptive writing (accounting for the sounds of the musical tracks and not just the lyrics, history, and biographical background).
