What do they have in common with the <\/span>Reggaeton and<\/span> Normative Heterosexuality? <\/b>We talk about this in the new video <\/span>This does not sell<\/b>, we made for the <\/span>Desmuntat\u00f2pics<\/b> 2017<\/b> project with <\/span>El Consell de Nois i Noies de L’Hospitalet<\/b>. Raquel Rey, activist and documentary filmmaker with a gender perspective, is now in charge of the audiovisual area of <\/span>elParlante<\/b>. We talked to her to find out the most interesting aspects of this new edition. No spoilers!<\/span><\/p>\n

The topic.- The<\/b> group decided that, before working with us, we had to do a <\/span>brainstorming<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/i> to choose the topics we wanted to discuss. This is how the idea of dismantling gender stereotypes arose, an issue that appears increasingly strongly among groups of young people in the neighborhoods and areas where we usually work. In this case, the objective was clear from the first workshop: his idea was to dismantle the discourse on “the presumption of heterosexuality” in today’s society. For Raquel this was the ideal setting to share her experience and knowledge about the stereotypes that she herself deals with in her documentary stories. As is usually the case, they found that beyond theory and media debate, “they were more interested in the story they wanted to tell.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Music.- <\/b>When, together, they decided that the plot should be developed within a <\/span>heteronormative<\/b> universe Some debates were generated around the heteropatriarchal system, based on the “objectification” of women’s bodies and the reinforcement of masculinity. Part of the group believed that Reggaeton was the ideal context, since the imaginary of reggeatonero is that of a young, handsome and heterosexual man surrounded by many girls. The idea of the short film was precisely this, “to break the stereotypes and taboos that exist about Latin music”, although in the same group there were some people who claimed that Reggaeton is “neuron-killing” music. These projects make us think and analyze what our work as educators is when we detect certain attitudes in the group when making important decisions in the project. It is we who must ensure that any debate enriches the process rather than ruins it. <\/span><\/p>\n
