Pop em língua inglesa: o estímulo da música no processo de empoderamento feminino

Abstract

This work has as its theme pop in English and seeks to understand how songs can contribute to the process of stimulating female empowerment. My general objective is to understand how songs in English stimulate the process of female empowerment and how they can be approached in educational contexts in order to provide students with the opportunity to reflect on social inequality from a gender perspective. This is valid because it can provide students with reflection on such issues relevant to the fight against gender inequality. The method used for this research was the analysis of the following pop songs in English: Run the World (girl) by Beyonce, God is a Woman by Ariana Grande, Confident by Demi Lovato and Most Girls by Hailee Steinfeld. Each reflects an important theme, respectively: women in charge, women's sexual freedom, women's confidence and self-esteem, and the rivalry society wants women to have. After the analyses, we reflected on the importance of approaching these themes in an educational context.
