Abstract
La música es un medio que nutre la cultura a través de la transmisión de mensajes, arquetipos y normas de acción principalmente en jóvenes. Entre los contenidos que pueden ser transmitidos a través de ésta, se encuentra el concepto de amor romántico, que, a su vez, influye en las concepciones de los jóvenes de lo que significa estar en pareja. Por eso se buscó delimitar el concepto de amor, romance y los mitos románticos en la música desde la óptica de 12 mujeres jóvenes de la ciudad de La Paz, Bolivia. Este estudio partió de un enfoque cualitativo con marco interpretativo que utiliza 3 grupos focales para la recolección de información. Como resultados se encuentra que el amor se define como un sentimiento, interacción o conexión con el otro, algo químico, pero también como un aprendizaje donde se destaca el amor propio. El romance se basa en expresiones de afecto donde se encuentra una interacción entre dos personas. Los mitos románticos más resaltados son el amor imposible, el amor lo es todo en mi vida, el amor como sufrimiento, el amor que lo puede todo y el amor condicionado. Mientras los apenas mencionados son el amor único, el amor perfecto, el amor a primera vista, el amor solamente físico o sexual y el amor como posesión. Estos configuran el accionar de las mujeres y formarán parte del amor romántico reconocido y reproducido por las participantes al escuchar canciones románticas que forman parte de la "cultura popular".
Music is a medium that nurtures culture through the transmission of messages, archetypes, and norms of action, mainly in young people. Among the transmitted contents through music, the concept of romantic love can be found. This concept, at the same time, influences the conceptions that young people have about what it means to be in a couple. That is why we need to delimit the concept of love, romance, and romantic myths in music from the perspective of 12 young women from the city of La Paz, Bolivia. This study started with a qualitative approach with an interpretive framework that uses 3 focus groups to collect information. As result, it is found that love is defined as a feeling, interaction, or connection with the other, something chemical and based on learning where self-love stands out. Romance is based on expressions of affection where an interaction between two people is found. The most prominent romantic myths are impossible love, love is everything in my life, love is suffering, love that can do everything, and conditioned love. While the ones less mentioned are unique love, the perfect love, love at first sight, physical or sexual love and, possessive love. These configure the actions of women and will be part of romantic love, recognized and reproduced by the participants when they are exposed to romantic songs that belong to "popular culture".
