Description
Summary:Martin contextualizes the new uses of a social category, that of "pibe," a category transversal to the generational divisions between infancy, youth, and adulthood. She analyzes is place in "cumbia villera." The context leading to the emergence of this musical genre is presented. Martin also considers "cumbia villera's" presence in Argentine society, specifically its ideal that linked work and family as a desirable masculine horizon. "Cumbia villera" is examined as a rupture with the disciplinary world and a reaction against social segregation in which the "pibes" neither want to be controlled nor socially excluded. The lyrics are analyzed in this context. Also, the role that media has played in the definition of the social space that the "cumba villera" occupies is explored.
