Reggaeton and representations of women
a case study in Secondary School
Abstract
Reggaeton is one of the most popular music styles among teenagers. However, the lyrics of its songs can exert a pernicious influence on the consideration of women in society and social relations. The aim of this paper is to analyse the influence of reggaeton on a sample of adolescent students, taking into account their socio-demographic diversity. For this purpose, an online questionnaire was designed and applied to 406 secondary school students from different educational centers of the city of Barcelona and its metropolitan area. The results indicate differences according to sex, age, social origin, social class and academic level, in line with other studies that have been carried out previously. The aim is to explain the preference of adolescents for this musical style, as well as to make coeducational proposals for musical education that promote a better social consideration of women in the educational environment, encouraging a critical spirit in the students at all times.
