Abstract
The aim of this dissertation is to contribute to the debate in the field of Cultural Studies, analyzing the interplay of gender and sexuality studies with those of popular culture. Specifically, it identifies Cumbia as part of an established musical scene which has links with feminist movements. The dissertation begins by exploring how the process of appropriation of cumbia by women produces a type of music valued by the feminist agenda. The general objective has been to analyze the strategies, in term of uses and appropriations, that enabled those women to produce Cumbia with a gender perspective. I will call this type of cumbia “Feminist Cumbia” because it is a kind of music associated with a gender discourse that is part of the feminist movements.
This dissertation presents a socio discursive analysis of representations, because it begins with the hypothesis that the appropriation of cumbia by women linked with feminist movements, disputes certain hegemonic and heteronormative representations regarding gender roles and sexualities which are part of Cumbia. To begin with, I will analyze the case of Gilda, because she is the artist that the musical scene considers as the starting point of this movement, and I will study cultural objects, interviews and previous works penned by authors from both, Academia and from the Media, in order to explore different appropriations of her figure. In addition, I will use as the empiric object of study the female singers from the city of Buenos Aires which are close to the feminist movement. Firstly, I will analyze their musical productions, i.e. songs and videoclips, and secondly, I will study what those singers communicated about their own music using as evidence interviews conducted from 2007 (when the first band was formed) to March 1 st 2020, when the members of that first band played music together in a concert again.
It is in this context that I identify an expansion of the feminist discourse, and observe that the ideas and debates that characterize the current gender discourse are present in the musical scene, in both the actual productions and in the way that the female singers have been resignified by the influence of feminist discourse. In that sense I hypothesize that the expansion of the feminist discourse was made possible, firstly, thanks to the multiplicity of discourses that enabled the feminist movement to achieve its current cultural presence, and secondly, by the multiple appropriations of the cumbia that took place in the last period.
