Abstract
Esta investigación analiza la música cuir en Puerto Rico mediante un estudio de caso centrado en Villano Antillano y su propuesta musical dentro de los géneros del reguetón y el trap. El estudio parte de la premisa de que la música urbana contemporánea constituye un espacio de producción simbólica donde se disputan discursos sobre género, sexualidad, deseo, corporalidad y poder. Desde un enfoque cualitativo e interdisciplinario, la investigación articula el paradigma de la complejidad con aportes del marxismo, el feminismo decolonial, la teoría cuir, la etnomusicología y el psicoanálisis para examinar cómo las prácticas musicales y performativas de Villano Antillano producen formas de subjetividad disidente y confrontan estructuras heteropatriarcales, coloniales y capitalistas. A través del análisis discursivo y performativo de canciones seleccionadas, se exploran las tensiones entre resistencia política, visibilidad mediática y mercantilización cultural dentro de las industrias musicales contemporáneas. La investigación propone que la obra de Villano Antillano funciona como una fisura estético-discursiva que desestabiliza categorías normativas de género y sexualidad, contribuyendo así a los estudios culturales, musicales y cuir en Puerto Rico y el Caribe contemporáneo.
This research examines queer music in Puerto Rico through a case study focused on Villano Antillano and her musical proposal within the reggaeton and trap genres. The study is grounded in the premise that contemporary urban music constitutes a space of symbolic production where discourses surrounding gender, sexuality, desire, corporeality, and power are contested. Using a qualitative and interdisciplinary approach, the research articulates the paradigm of complexity with contributions from Marxism, decolonial feminism, queer theory, ethnomusicology, and psychoanalysis in order to examine how Villano Antillano’s musical and performative practices produce forms of dissident subjectivity and challenge heteropatriarchal, colonial, and capitalist structures. Through the discursive and performative analysis of selected songs, the study explores the tensions between political resistance, media visibility, and cultural commodification within contemporary music industries. The research argues that Villano Antillano’s work functions as an aesthetic-discursive rupture that destabilizes normative categories of gender and sexuality, thereby contributing to cultural, musical, and queer studies in Puerto Rico and the contemporary Caribbean.
