Estudio exploratorio sobre la construcción de la violencia de género en las letras del reggaetón interpretado por mujeres

the following is an exploratory study that intends to show how some linguistic structures found in reggaeton songs sung by women may promote gender-based violence in ways that are not perceived by the general public. for such purpose i selected data from four female reggaeton singers′songs: adassa, glory, lorna and ivy queen, and performed a qualitative analysis focused on the rhetorical figure of the metaphor and the concepts of denial of agency and pollution of agency. i conclude that some language used in reggaeton may damage women′s integrity and image as social, autonomous and respectable entities.
