“서로의 용기”로서의 몸들: 2010년대의 페미니스트 라틴 팝

Abstract

.This study deals with Latin American feminist pop music from the 2010s. Global pop music has been increasingly reflecting the strong feminist trend of recent years. However, Latin American pop has developed its own feminist aspects and features, within the particular social and political conditions of the continent. Latin American gender problems are different from those of the United States or Europeans on an important side: the former include higher statics of physical violence and femicide. Therefore, feminist Latin pop also comes to represent its reality, always with the will to overcome gender violence and protect each other in solidarity. Seven songs have been chosen to analyze with their official music videos, all of which show such common aspects within the individualities of their creators. In each musical and performative creation, the images of diverse female bodies that deviate from the ideal that is usually required in the media play an important role. Those bodies, too ordinary or simply queer, proudly display themselves as free subjects and face with courage heterosexual objectifying stares.
