Músicas populares urbanas, relaciones de género y persistencia de prejuicios: datos brasileños y españoles a partir de la escucha de cuatro canciones.

Las músicas populares urbanas participan en la construcción, transmisión y deconstrucción de las imágenes de género. Es trascendental comprender su influencia entre los oyentes. Para ello, realizamos una investigación basada en encuestas a jóvenes universitarios que mostró la permanencia de prejuicios y una escasa capacidad crítica, lo que refuerza algunas de las hipótesis de la sociología de la música de T. W. Adorno y plantea cuestiones importantes para la musicología feminista. Es necesario tener conciencia de la existencia de estos prejuicios si pretendemos una educación emancipatoria.

A música associada às necessidades terapêuticas de pacientes com deficiência

The use of music and/or its elements (instruments, sound, rhythm, melody and harmony) in environments with people attended by public health centers, aims at promoting communication, facilitating the expression and the relationship in the first contact, hence favoring organization of standards and other relevant therapeutic objectives to assist physical, mental, social and cognitive needs of people, thus promoting the process of environmental adaptation, behavioral conditioning and social inclusion. The purpose of this project is to use music and its sound elements, as well as recreational activities, developed in stages called: socialization session, art workshop and complementary activities, with patients assisted at CAOE (Disabled People Dental Care Center) and their relatives.

Recreational activities, handling and contacting with musical instruments, broadcasting and producing sounds, stimulate cognitive capacity, interactivity and entertainment activities can greatly contribute to improve the behavioral reaction and adaptation of these patients, during their dental treatment.
