| Résumé anglais |
Rebeca Lane, a Guatemalan « artivist », is one of the few women in Central America who has entered the hip hop scene. She develops a feminist discourse in which the representation of the body appears as centric, both from the visual and poetic image. In her songs, she reinvents « feminine » myths, affirms the pride of being a woman and questions the collective memory and gender identities from the body. Now, the body plays a fundamental role in contemporary feminist reflections, as a colonized space that women seek to reappropriate, through art in particular. The fact that Rebecca Lane has a sociologist background can explain the power of both her visual and textual artistic discourse. Indeed, her songs and video clips reflect strong social stances and counter-hegemonic feminist approaches, with a sensitivity close to community feminism. Thus, Rebeca Lane subverts the very sexist tradition of rap, decolonizing women's bodies and making them free. We will see how her rap becomes an instrument of empowerment and reconstruction of the identity of women, but also of recovery of collective memory and healing of the social body.
