The master thesis addresses the alteration of Roma discourse and changes of relational patterns between Roma and the wider society during the 1930s and 1940s (more precisely 1927-1950). It focuses on the features attributed to the notion of "a Gypsy" by majority group members. Subsequently, it also attempts to reconstruct, using various levels of discursive practice, the position of Roma in the Slovak society. The main emphasis was laid on the wartime period, which was framed by the interwar and postwar context. In close connection with this anchoring, it tries to trace possible roots of wartime discursive and physical violence. It inquires various continuities and discontinuities of particular policies observing the individuals fulfilling these features attributed to the notion of a "Gypsy" or "an antisocial person" and their limits of agency. Apart from that it scrutinizes different means of categorization and their influence on attitude towards Roma.

Annotation: My master's thesis deals with the gypsy children in schools. The main goal of the thesis was to find out success rate of gypsy pupils in finishing elementary schools and special classes by the elementary school, and to find out how teachers work with gypsy children and what the experience of teachers in working with gypsy kids are. The next part of my research focuses on gypsy pupils in the fifth grade and how they see their future and their prospects. In the end of my research focused on educational counseling I investigated how the educational counselor and teacher can influence education of a gypsy pupil in the school. The whole thesis is divided into four chapters. First three chapters are focused on theory. The first chapter is focused on the history and culture of Gypsies, their origin, traditional family relations and customs, music, language and their relation to the major society. The second chapter describes the younger school age, its maturity, physical, emotional and language development. It also deals with the development of cognitive processes, socialization and failing in school. The third chapter deals with the education of gypsy children, their integration into primary schools and with issues related to school. The fourth part is a research part. It provides information on the...

No. of bitstreams: 1 SILVA, Geysa Andrade da.pdf: 4591061 bytes, checksum: 4033e84eb670f9950a38e4fe6d1bef58 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-02-22 / The lexicon is a dynamic and flexible repertoire of words which many theorists have examined. For being quite diverse, it has a considerable potential for research and although it is far from exhaustion, all production has been very promising. According to Oliveira and Isquerdo (2001), even if the window through which a community can see the world is an abstract unit, it is possible to construct a verifiable rational and systematic knowledge, that is science, of its elements. From the need to explore this lexical inventory, the following question has been developed: do the lexical items produced provide data that mark the lexical variation of the gypsies? The research demanded an investigation in loco in cities of Bahia (Miguel Calmon and Jacobina ? Meso-region of the Center-North of Bahia) and of Pernambuco (Flores and Ouricuri ? Meso-region of Pernambuco?s Sert?o) from which the diatopic variation identified in sample data can be demonstrated. Respondents, men and women of different age groups - for diagenetic and diagenerational variation - gypsies, as well as other social information, responded to the structured instrument, excerpt of Semantic-Lexical Questionnaire of Linguistic Atlas of Brazil ? ALiB, specifically six questions of the semantic area of Games and children's recreation, through which it was tried to document the variation of the most general denominations of use or other specific denominations of the group. From the analysis of this corpus, the lexical contributions that mark the identity of the gypsy people were identified and the extra linguistic conditioners that influence the lexical realization of the gypsy community were verified. Linguistic factors, although conditioning factors of the variation, were not object of study in this work, they proved, therefore, inappropriate for the lexical level in question. The course with the gypsy groups drew restrictions at the questionnaire level, just as the Ethics Committee required the release of enough energy. The methodology and procedures are based on those adopted by ALiB. A lexicon search aims to determine the origin, form, and meaning of the words that make up the collection of a language; the one proposed here is based on analysis of Lexicology, Sociolinguistics and Dialectology since it aims to observe the use of the word in the community of speakers. The results indicate that the lexical variation is basically a result of the region where the speaker is inserted, and sometimes other variations due to age, sex, educational level, and not ethnicity. / O l?xico ? um repert?rio de palavras din?mico e flex?vel, no qual diversos te?ricos t?m se debru?ado. Por ser bastante diversificado, possui um potencial consider?vel para investiga??o e, embora se esteja longe da exaust?o, toda a produ??o tem sido muito promissora. Como atestam Oliveira e Isquerdo (2001), mesmo sendo uma unidade abstrata, a janela atrav?s da qual uma comunidade pode ver o mundo ? poss?vel construir um conhecimento verific?vel, racional e sistem?tico, ou seja, cient?fico dos seus elementos. A partir da necessidade de explorar esse invent?rio lexical, debru?ou-se o olhar sobre o seguinte questionamento: os itens lexicais produzidos fornecem dados que marcam a varia??o lexical dos ciganos? A pesquisa demandou uma investiga??o in loco em cidades da Bahia (Miguel Calmon e Jacobina ? Mesorregi?o do Centro-Norte Baiano) e de Pernambuco (Flores e Ouricuri ? Mesorregi?o do Sert?o Pernambucano) de onde se pode demonstrar a varia??o diat?pica identificada em dados da amostra. Os informantes inquiridos, homens e mulheres de diferentes faixas et?rias ? para depreens?o da varia??o diagen?rica e diageracional - da etnia cigana, al?m de outras informa??es sociais, responderam ao instrumento estruturado, que para essa pesquisa ? um extrado do Question?rio Sem?ntico-Lexical do Atlas Lingu?stico do Brasil ? ALiB, especificamente seis quest?es da ?rea sem?ntica de Jogos e divers?es infantis, atrav?s do qual buscou-se documentar a varia??o das denomina??es de emprego mais geral ou outras denomina??es espec?ficas do grupo. A partir da an?lise desse corpus, foram identificadas quais as contribui??es lexicais que marcam a identidade do povo cigano e verificados os condicionantes extralingu?sticos que influenciam na realiza??o lexical da comunidade cigana. Fatores lingu?sticos, apesar de condicionantes da varia??o, n?o foram objeto de estudo neste trabalho, demonstraram-se, pois, inapropriados para o n?vel lexical em quest?o. O percurso com os grupos ciganos desenhou restri??es a n?vel do question?rio, assim como o Comit? de ?tica exigiu desprendimento de bastante energia. A metodologia e os procedimentos baseiam-se nos adotados pelo ALiB. Uma pesquisa sobre o l?xico procura determinar a origem, a forma e o significado das palavras que constituem o acervo de um idioma; a que aqui est? proposta tem como base de an?lise a Lexicologia, a Sociolingu?stica e a Dialetologia uma vez que se procura observar o uso da palavra na comunidade dos falantes. Os resultados indicam que a varia??o lexical ? fruto, basicamente, da regi?o em que o falante est? inserido, e por vezes, outras varia??es por conta da idade, sexo, grau de escolaridade, e n?o da etnia.

My thesis is focused on the theme "Gypsy child at the beginning of school attendace". The main aim of my thesis is to find out how gypsy pupils are able to adapt to an inclusive school. The purpose is complemented by research questions which are divided into two areas according to influencing factors. The first of the factors are internal factors, that means the ones that deal with the individual of a children in the educational process himself, then external factors which influence and participate in education of Roma pupils in primary school. Theoretical part is formed to make consistent unit with the practical part. First chapter is focused on Romas and their ethnic history. In second and third chapter we can find out more about the gypsy pupils in the beginning of school attendance. Second chapter is divided into several subchapters according to the determinants of school maturity. Fourth chapter is the basis of the whole thesis, because it is mainly focused on the gypsy pupils in the context of Czech education. This chapter is also divided into several subchapters depending on the different influences on the education of gypsy pupils. In the fifth chapter attention is paid to the work of a teacher with a gypsy pupil. In other chapters there is a summary of my knowledge from the whole of the...

Cette recherche s’inscrit dans un ensemble de travaux récents qui ont pour objet la contribution des Européens aux processus de création et d’évolution du jazz. Les migrants européens du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle véhiculent avec eux des singularités culturelles qui marquent la musique américaine. Le rôle des Tsiganes et de leurs représentations outre-Atlantique méritent d’être étudiés. Notre démarche historique s’appuie sur l’établissement d’un corpus issu de la lecture de la presse américaine des années 1880 aux années 1940, confronté à des sources variées dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire (histoire de l’art, musique et géographie). Un plan croisé permet d’étudier dans un premier temps la réception de l’image des Tsiganes dans les divertissements américains, dans la musique romantique et dans le jazz. Nous observons l’omniprésence du thème tsigane, l’apparition d’un véritable mythe et son appropriation américaine. Dans un second temps, nous montrons dans quelle mesure les Tsiganes et leurs musiques contribuent à définir le jazz et ses origines. Enfin, nous analysons dans une troisième partie la circulation des Tsiganes en Amérique et leur installation dans les grandes villes des États-Unis où des musiciens tsiganes jouent du jazz. / This academic research work is part of a series of recent studies whose aim is to show to what extent Europeans contributed to the birth of jazz and how they marked the development of this new kind of music. American music bears the stamp of the cultural idiosyncrasies that 19th and 20th century European migrants brought along. It is worthwhile focusing on the role played by Gypsies and the way they were perceived across the Atlantic. The reading of the American press from the 1880s to the 1940s, together with a wide variety of other sources, has provided a solid basis for a historical analysis with a multidisciplinary approach including art history, music and geography. A double-entry framework allows one to first study how Gypsies were perceived and represented in American entertainments, romantic music and jazz. What is noticeable is the omnipresence of the Gypsy theme, the emergence of a myth and its Americanization. Secondly, one can see the way Gypsy musics help define jazz music and give clues as to its origins. The third part is devoted to the Gypsies’ nomadic way of life throughout the United States and their settling in large cities where Gypsy musicians played jazz.

My dissertation, "Renovating the Closet : Nineteenth-Century Closet Drama Written by Women as a Stage for Social Critique," contributes to a new understanding about nineteenth-century closet drama through three distinct and innovative texts: George Eliot's The Spanish Gypsy (1868), Michael Field's Stephania (1892), and Augusta Webster's A Woman Sold (1867). I contend that these three women writers employed the closet drama, a genre written in dramatic form but intended to be privately read or performed, to critique the social, cultural, and ideological limitations placed upon women of their time. In their symbolic use of the genre and innovative experiments with form, Eliot, Field, and Webster created a new stage on which their female protagonists challenge belief systems, institutions, and conventions that confine their gender roles, sexual identity, and social power. My chapter, "'Angel of the Homeless Tribe' : The Legacy of The Spanish Gypsy," shows how George Eliot melds the conventions of epic narrative with those of Victorian closet drama and reveals a dynamic connection between the character development and genre. Eliot's canonical novels are famous for their indictment of the limited roles Victorian culture offered to women. Equally famous are the tragic destinies of her rebellious heroines: they end up dead, unfulfilled, or virtually imprisoned. But scholars have failed to notice that in her experiment with The Spanish Gypsy, Eliot created a female epic: Fedalma, a woman of fifteenth-century Spain, becomes the leader of her "Gypsy" nation, sung into the future by an admiring bard. Eliot's formal experiment makes The Spanish Gypsy an important text for understanding how genre shaped gender representation in Eliot's canon, and in Victorian literature generally. My chapter, "'Something of His Manhood Falls' : Stephania as Critique of Victorian Male Aesthetics and Masculinity," offers Stephania as Katharine Bradley and Edith Cooper's commentary on the predominantly-male Aesthetic and Decadent movements of the 1890s. Through the pseudonym Michael Field, Bradley and Cooper wrote their way into, and claimed their own space inside, a very exclusive males-only closet. The chapter demonstrates how Stephania, set in Rome 1002 A.D., reclaims agency for a Victorian artistic "sisterhood" adulterated and exiled by a "brotherhood" of male Decadents (who saw woman as a nemesis to social order, personal salvation, and creative production), both through its form, and its cast of three: Stephania, Emperor Otho, and his old tutor Gerbert. Stephania, a former Empress turned courtesan bent on revenge for her husband's murder, challenges homosocial exclusivity and ultimately triumphs as a symbolic queen and emperor. Successful in her plan to bring down Otho through her seduction and manipulation of both men, Stephania is redeemed and saved; she has restored social order. In its resistance of the boundaries and expectations of the closet drama genre, Stephania projects a new ideology for Victorian womanhood and female authorship. My last chapter, "'I Could Be Tempted' : The Ev(e)olution of the Angel in the House in A Woman Sold," presents A Woman Sold as an early example of Augusta Webster's strategic social rhetoric, as her use of the closet drama acts as a structural metaphor for the sociomythological confinement of the nineteenth-century middle class woman. I investigate how A Woman Sold exposes the notion that marriage for nineteenth-century middle class women symbolized a closet of social and cultural paralysis, as grown from a history of socially and culturally institutionalized gender expectations. At the same time, I demonstrate how Webster employs irony through a nexus of genre, narrative, and form to support and advocate for opportunities outside marriage that encourage female agency to develop. Essentially, the fundamental argument in this dissertation hinges on the ways in which Eliot, Field, and Webster revised the conventional closet drama to renovate and, in turn, reveal the metaphorical and literal closets that confined social and cultural possibilities for nineteenth-century women. / text

I investigated the effect of defoliation by the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) on the radial growth of tree species that differ in their acceptability as hosts for gypsy moth larvae. Annual growth rings were measured from 1950 to 1992 on increment cores taken from three species: red oak (Quercus rubra L.), a preferred species, sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.), an acceptable species, and white ash (Fraxinus americana L.), an avoided species. The number of gypsy moth larvae on these same individual trees had already been recorded from 1979 to 1992. To remove the potentially-confounding effects of climate on radial growth, I developed regression models of growth on climate in a pre-gypsy moth period (1950 to 1975), and then used these models to predict growth in a post-gypsy moth period (1978 to 1992). The residuals from these growth models were then examined with respect to gypsy moth numbers. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
