Superare i paradigmi analitici “Casa/Strada” e “Rispetto/Reputazione”: l’esempio dei bateyes dominicani

Abstract

The article intends to show how the theoretical-analytical paradigms expressed by the binomial "respect/reputation" and "home/street", which Caribbean and African American literature has long recorded and used as an ideal reference for masculinity and femininity within the socio-cultural contexts in question, reveal themselves, in the light of the facts, inadequate to understand and describe the reality of the Dominican bateyes.
