Analysis of violence and sexism from the musical ecuadorian imaginariness of the costa region

Abstract

Socialization of genders occurs in a process of cultural learning of the roles assigned according to sex. It is transversally identified in all cultures. Gender standards and the construction of femininity and masculinity make an inequality-generating binary world. Through a methodology of participative action research, we have chosen the analysis of violence and sexism in music from all institutions and elements of socialization. Because music is a phenomenon of masses around the world which contributes to and keeps strong discriminatory social and cultural imaginariness. In this process of analysis, students have been part of the sample data and they have participated in the development of the first stage of research. First, we have made an analysis of the musical likes from a gender perspective which has allowed us to come to some conclusions regarding sexism and the construction of romantic love imaginariness. Finally, we have contrasted the sample of the students that studied the subject Gender Perspective or Gender Equity with those who did not take that subject to determine how the acquisition of social awareness of gender influences musical imaginariness or if, on the contrary, this kind of imaginariness is made up in the process of socialization at very early ages and it is difficult to modify it through the acquisition of recent notions of gender.
