Resum

Ací explorem les pràctiques contemporànies de la participació femenina en l’escena musical de Sèrbia i, en certa manera, dels Balcans. Aquesta investigació va identificar i descobrir les possibilitats, les restriccions de gènere i els actes de transgressió que, en conjunt, teixien una dinàmica complexa de participació femenina en la música popular, en relació amb el camp canviant de les ideologies de gènere dominants a Sèrbia i la regió circumdant. Aquest treball proporciona una anàlisi crítica de les qüestions de gènere en la creació i execució de música i del tema del treball de gènere en la música, basant-se en casos connectats a contextos locals. Per a fer-ho, considerem els costums i les demandes del mercat musical i la cultura quotidiana, el seu vincle amb les experiències personals i l’envergadura de les institucions socials al voltant de la música. Siga com a models a seguir o com a líders apreciades, les dones músiques empren diferents tàctiques per a combatre els estereotips, enfortir les comunitats i garantir la participació femenina. Aquest treball recull les estratègies i eines que han estat implementant per a mantenir la seua audiència, els ingressos i la presència de la millor manera possible. Tenint en compte l’imperatiu de transformar una manera estàndard de treballar, comunicar-se amb les audiències i mantenir el potencial d’ingressos, aquest text destaca pràctiques que es podrien reconéixer com a lideratge (lideratge femení) en les circumstàncies contemporànies. També considerem un espectre més ampli de rols que les dones músiques i professionals de la música han assumit o se’ls ha adjudicat dins dels seus cercles professionals, escenaris locals, comunitats o la societat en general
