    El perreo en Medellín y su función social en la (re)definición de la identidad en las mujeres
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2026) Espinal Ramírez, Luisa Fernanda; Díaz-Fernández, Silvia
    This doctoral dissertation analyzes the social function of perreo in Medellín as a performative event that enables processes of identity (re)definition among women. Through an interdisciplinary, qualitative, and situated approach, I seek to understand how perreo articulates norms, knowledges, and ritualized practices that allow women to embody ways of being and relating that are usually sanctioned in everyday life. In this study, I develop an original methodology that I call Ethnoperreo. Within the framework of focused ethnographies of dance practices, this methodology includes six participant observations in four nightclubs, interviews with DJs, and six focus groups with women who practice perreo. Through its implementation, I identified two main forms of interaction: playful perreo, which is freer and more spontaneous, and serious perreo, which constitutes a form of performativity. In the latter, the leading role—occupied by women—becomes a position of sensual knowledge/power, from which the interaction is directed and an eroticism distributed across multiple zones of the body is made visible. Although perreo reproduces heteronormative frameworks, it also operates as a space of fertile ambivalence, where women resignify their femininity and experience the body as a medium of shared pleasure, rather than solely as an object of control or commodification. In this sense, perreo in Medellín allows for a temporary dislocation of certain normative mandates, enabling situated forms of freedom and recognition that complicate conventional notions of empowerment from a situated and decolonial perspective.

    Influencia de la música electrónica en la construcción de la identidad, desde las experiencias y narraciones de personas con gusto declarado por este género en Medellín
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025-11-13) Madrid Gómez, Juan Pablo; Duque Buitrago, Diana Cristina
    This research analyzes how electronic music and its cultural and social dynamics influence the construction of identity among people with a declared taste for this genre in Medellín. Using a qualitative approach and an interpretative paradigm, semi-structured interviews were conducted with five participants selected through purposive sampling, following the principle of categorical saturation. Thematic analysis revealed four main categories: entry and experience within the scene, uniqueness and idiosyncrasy, autobiographical continuity and self-awareness, and personal values and ideals. Findings indicate that electronic music functions as a symbolic space where identity, emotionality, and values intertwine. Participants describe their entry into the scene as socially mediated, while their experiences in events become expressions of freedom, wellbeing, and self-knowledge. Furthermore, electronic music spaces foster the expression of individuality, the construction of a coherent life narrative, and the reaffirmation of ideals such as happiness, empathy, spirituality, and authenticity. It is concluded that electronic music, beyond its aesthetic function, serves as a vehicle for both subjective and social transformation, enabling individuals to build and sustain fluid yet coherent identities within Medellín’s contemporary urban context.
