Abstract

ALIANO, Nicolás. The therapeutic dimension of the musical experience: Fanaticism and reflexive work among young fans of a popular Argentine singer. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.1, pp.255-268. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.16115.

Based on ethnographic work carried out between 2008 and 2016 with rock fans from working class sectors, the objective of this article is to describe some of the subjective effects of this music in the lives of fans. This exploration seeks, on the one hand, to contribute to the analysis of experiences in which specific ways of being a young person are formed within the working classes of the contemporary world. On the other hand, at an analytical level, the study aims to demonstrate the specificity of reflexive processes promoted by encounters with the objects of popular culture. As a result, the study shows that through this fanaticism these young people can subjectively process different experiences of their interest in music, which are linked to the social lives of these young people.

Keywords : popular culture; music; active listening; youth (Unesco Social Sciences Thesaurus).
