nÃo hà / Discutir a memÃria, a cultura e a tradiÃÃo da comunidade cigana na cidade de Sobral à uma maneira de colocÃ-la em evidÃncia nos debates acadÃmicos sobre identidade. A escolha dessa temÃtica surgiu a partir de uma experiÃncia de pesquisa na Ãrea da interdisciplinaridade na cidade de Sobral â CE, onde desenvolveu-se um estudo com a Comunidade Cigana do Bairro SumarÃ. Dessa maneira, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo central, investigar a Comunidade Cigana do Bairro SumarÃ, Sobral â CE, a fim de traÃar um perfil da identidade sociocultural dos membros da comunidade investigada. A partir daÃ, analisou-se a memÃria, a cultura e a tradiÃÃo cigana, em comparaÃÃo a cultura nÃo cigana. O ponto de partida para esse propÃsito de pesquisa foi a problemÃtica de compreender, a partir da memÃria, como ocorreu o processo de fixaÃÃo dos ciganos assentados na cidade de Sobral, assim como, tambÃm, compreender os estereÃtipos instituÃdos no momento da sua chegada à cidade e como esses estigmas continuam presentes na atualidade. Essa pesquisa se caracteriza, ainda, como de cunho qualitativo, visto que, a partir dos relatos de vida dos ciganos do Bairro SumarÃ, constrÃi-se o perfil da comunidade investigada, considerando cada informaÃÃo encontrada como uma peÃa indispensÃvel para a compreensÃo desses ciganos como membros de uma comunidade. A metodologia utilizada no desenvolvimento desse trabalho foi baseada na HistÃria oral e na observaÃÃo dos participantes, sendo as fontes utilizadas as entrevistas com os ciganos do Bairro SumarÃ, o diÃrio de campo e a mÃdia eletrÃnica, os quais foram analisados e contextualizados com a historiografia dos ciganos. Para a sua elaboraÃÃo, esse estudo apoiou-se no arcabouÃo teÃrico de autores como Chartier (2002), Pesavento (2005), Paul Ricoeur (2007), Paul Thompson (1992), Verena Alberti (2005), Bosi (1994) dentre outros. A partir da realizaÃÃo da pesquisa, compreendeu-se que os ciganos do Bairro SumarÃ, embora historicamente tenham sido esquecidos pela historiografia local, sÃo sujeitos participantes e produtores da histÃria local, ou seja, da HistÃria de Sobral, pois, a partir da sua fixaÃÃo na cidade, passaram a intervir no modo de vida, no comportamento, na cultura e na economia local. / The present work aims to discuss the history, tradition and the culture of the Roma community in Sobral city, from the perspective of the comparative history. It is a way to put it in evidence in academic debates about identity. The choice of this theme came from my experience as a researcher in the field of interdisciplinarity in the city of Sobral-CE, where we developed a research with the Roma community in the neighborhood of SumarÃ. Thereby, the present research has the core objective, to investigate the Roma community in the neighborhood of SumarÃ, in Sobral city in order to trace a sociocultural profile of the members of the community investigated. Based on this information, it was analyzed the tradition, culture and education, to the detriment of non-Roma culture. This research is inserted in the line of history of comparative education and is characterized as qualitative approach. The research methodology used in the development of this work was the research with the oral history and the observation of participants, being the data sources obtained from the interviews with the Roma community members in the neighborhood of SumarÃ, the field diary and electronic media, which were analyzed and contextualized with the historiography of the Roma community. This study is based on the theoretical framework of authors like Chartier (2002) Pesavento (2005), Paul Ricoeur (2007), Paul Thompson (1992), Verena Alberti (2005), Bosi (1994) among others. From this research, it was realized that the Roma community members in the neighborhood of SumarÃ, although historically have been forgotten from the local historiography, are participants and producers of the local history, which was, the History of Sobral, because from their settlement in the city, they started to intervene in lifestyles, behavior, culture and local economy.

Throughout this period, these families experience the tensioners such as deforestation and land pressure manifested by the expansion of agribusiness ventures on remaining areas of rural communities of quilombos, threatening the sustainability of family agriculture and natural resources beyond the difficulties of access to policies that specifically guarantee them land ownership, food security and other possibilities of non-agricultural income. Throughout the work are presented forms of resource use by the community their perception of the risks arising from the advance of agribusiness near Bonsucesso. With the methodology, we interviewed 43 (forty-three) residents designated by local leaders, using a semi-structured questionnaire and conducting meetings and interviews with other villagers. Among the production strategies were identified: itinerant agriculture, backyards, extraction of babassu and artisanal fishing. And despite the Bonsucesso community still not be prevented from exercising their way of life and continue to use their production strategies, there is the advance of agribusiness in the municipality according to data from Brazilian Istituto of Geografia and statistics. / Bonsucesso, comunidade remanescente de quilombo área de realização da pesquisa, está localizada no Município de Mata Roma, sendo o agroextrativismo o meio de reprodução de suas famílias, o qual mantém relações e as heranças com as bases ancestrais das primeiras famílias que iniciaram a povoação, tais como os usos dos recursos naturais e a valorização da cultura local. Ao longo desse período, essas famílias vivenciam os tensores tais como desmatamento e a pressão fundiária manifestada pela expansão de empreendimentos do agronegócio sobre áreas de comunidades rurais remanescentes de quilombos, que ameaçam a sustentabilidade da agricultura familiar e dos recursos naturais além das dificuldades de acesso a políticas que concretamente lhes assegurem a posse da terra, segurança alimentar e outras possibilidades de renda não agrícola. Ao longo do trabalho são apresentadas as formas de uso dos recursos por parte da comunidade a sua percepção dos riscos decorrentes do avanço do agronegócio nas proximidades de Bonsucesso. Com a metodologia utilizada, foram entrevistados 43 (quarenta e três) moradores indicados pelas lideranças locais, com a utilização de um questionário semiestruturado e com a realização de reuniões e entrevistas com outros moradores do povoado. Entre as estratégias de produção, foram identificados: lavoura itinerante, quintais, extrativismo do babaçu e pesca artesanal. E apesar da comunidade de Bonsucesso ainda não estar impedida de exercer seu modo de vida e de continuar a utilizar suas estratégias de produção, verifica-se o avanço da área do agronegócio no município conforme dados do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística.

Tratar de ciganos à luz do discurso de não-ciganos pede discussões sobre estigmatização e dos termos a ela associados. Esse caminho produzirá, como demonstramos na tese, a contribuição para a compreensão do (des)prestígio social de uma comunidade isolada. Historicamente, por séculos, a estigmatização negativa arraiga o preconceito que ecoa no imaginário social do não-cigano ao referir o cigano. Esse quadro ainda é constatado no século XXI, e ainda ocorre manifestando os mesmos traços peculiares observados em pesquisas das áreas de Antropologia, Sociologia e Educação as quais tomam como objeto de discussão esse povo, de cultura tão hermética. Esse isolamento dos ciganos, hipotetizamos, é observável no discurso do não-cigano por meio de informações localizadas em diversos pontos de uma sentença ou de um texto. Para lidar com esse fenômeno, recorremos às teorias givonianas (1990), em especial o princípio da iconicidade e seus subprincípios, quais sejam: de ordenação linear, de integração e de quantidade, os quais, ao se entrelaçarem, revelam a complexidade cognitiva. O reconhecimento desses ecos históricos por meios de vários tipos de documentos recolhidos de arquivos históricos e redes sociais. Ao final dessa análise, estabelecemos um contraponto com a opinião de paulistanos por meio de um questionário aleatoriamente distribuído a indivíduos de vários estratos sociais. A ideia era a de verificar se a estigmatização continuava ecoando nos discursos atuais. Concluída essa etapa da pesquisa, pudemos referendar que, a despeito do desenvolvimento humano (na concepção de Maturana e Varela, 2011), a estigmatização e o preconceito continuam andando de mãos quando o tópico é cigano. / To treat Roma (gypsy) by the sense of the non-Roma (non-gypsy) speech prompts some discussions about stigmatization and terms associated with it. This way will produce, as demonstrated in the thesis, the contribution to the (un) social prestige understanding of an isolated community. Historically, for centuries, the negative stigma rooted prejudice that echoes the social imaginary of the non-gypsies when referring to the gypsy in their discourse. This picture is still found in the 21st. century, and it is still manifesting the same peculiar traits observed in researches in the Anthropology, Sociology and Educational areas which take as their subject of discussion these people, in its so hermetic culture. It is hypothesized that this isolation of the Roma (gypsy) is observable in the discourse of non-gypsy through information located in various parts of a sentence or of a text. To deal with this phenomenon, we use the givonian theories (1990), in particular the principle of iconicity and its subprinciples, namely: linear ordination, integration and quantity, which, when intertwined, reveal the cognitive complexity. The recognition of these historical echoes by means of various documents types collected from historical archives and social networks. At the end of this analysis, we established a counterpoint to the opinion of São Paulo inhabitants (paulistanos) through a questionnaire randomly distributed to individuals from various social strata. The idea is to verify if the stigma was still echoing in today\'s speeches. On this research stage completion, we could endorse that, in spite of human development (conception of Maturana and Varela, 2011), stigmatization and prejudice continue progressing when the theme is gypsy people.

This thesis analysed the variety of views expressed about disparities between Romanian Roma and non-Roma by people who are actively engaged in redressing unjust social and economic differences. The focus was placed on the variability of views between and within three different contexts: academic texts proposing policy measures for addressing disparities between Roma and non-Roma people; policy documents concerning measures for Roma inclusion; and conversations by people involved in the implementation of Roma inclusion policy measures. The general concerns of this study were to identify (1) the ways in which the problem of ethnic disparity was portrayed, (2) the solutions proposed to the problem of ethnic disparity, (3) the ambivalent, dilemmatic or concealed aspects concerning the topic of disparities between Roma and non-Roma people living in Romania, (4) whether the perspectives of Roma people were accounted for in the contexts analyses and (5) the similarities and differences between the discourses of academics, policy makers, practitioners and beneficiaries of public policies concerning disparities. The theoretical foundation for this thesis was offered by the social psychological literature that links disparities between groups of people and racial or ethnic prejudice. There are four ways in which this thesis has contributed to this literature. Firstly, most of the social psychological research on ethnic disparities has been experimental, whereas in this thesis, the focus was on the often overlooked discursive practices concerning ethnic disparities. Secondly, although some of the social psychological literature, especially research on the contact hypothesis and social identity theory, has looked at the dynamic interrelationship between advantaged and disadvantaged group members, most research has focused only on the perspectives of the advantaged group members. Therefore, there remains a research gap in the literature concerning the perspectives presented in inter-ethnic interactions, and even more so, by disadvantaged group members. This thesis added to the analysis the perspectives of advantaged and disadvantaged group members, both separately and in interaction. Thirdly, whereas emergent work looks at the ambivalent views towards ethnic or racial minorities, and the possible ironic effects of prejudice reduction strategies, there is virtually no research about the possible ironic, ambivalent or dilemmatic effects of strategies which target systemic based ethnic disparities - issues explored in this thesis. Finally, most social psychological research focuses on a single context of study, most commonly the public perceptions about members of the disadvantaged groups, but also marginally mass media representations, academic publications or political discourses. This thesis places attention on an equally important area of study concerned with whether and how discourses can move between different domains, and the impact or acknowledgement of elite discourses on the everyday conversations. There are four key findings that emerged from the studies conducted for this thesis. Firstly, it was found that while expressing views about ethnic disparity, academics, policymakers, practitioners and beneficiaries of public policies for Roma people displayed subtle forms of ethnicism. Secondly, a great deal of political discourse was devoted to the encouragement of individual changes in ethnic minorities, without a similar focus on the roles of majority group members in perpetuating inequality. Whereas, the problem of Roma inclusion was acknowledged by academics, policymakers, practitioners and beneficiaries of policy measures, to be a matter for public policies, some of the attribution of responsibility for inclusion was offered to Roma people, who were encouraged to change as individuals in accord with majoritarian norms. Thirdly, the analysis showed the inclusion of the perspectives of ethnic minorities only in two of the three contexts where policy measures for Roma people were proposed and implemented: academic publications and conversations. The perspectives of feminist experts and women were only marginally present in academic publications and conversations, while missing from policy discourses. Also the perspectives of academics or the non-hegemonic voices of excluded or disadvantaged Roma people were largely absent from the arguments presented in policy documents for Roma inclusion. Lastly, this thesis found that there are ambivalence, dilemmas and concealment at work within arguments proposing policy measures for redressing ethnic disparities, with important political consequences. The findings of this thesis contribute to the important conversation about the meanings of disparity and the political solutions for achieving equality between groups of people. Also, the findings of this thesis have important implications for the social psychological theory of disparity, the policies for redressing disparity and the social work practice with disadvantaged group members.

Este trabalho condensa extensa pesquisa dos processos de constituição arquitetônica e urbanística da Antigüidade, sustentando a tese de que é possível estabelecer um quadro geral do processo de urbanização da Antigüidade com base no estudo dos ambientes construídos de uso coletivo. Por quadro geral entendemos o produto da decisão metodológica de adoção de parâmetros de longa duração e larga extensão para os ambientes construídos de uso coletivo, a saber do 3º milênio ªC. ao VII d.C., na região da Afreurásia. Propõe, com base em tal recorte metodológico original, reler o mundo clássico em uma perspectiva mais próxima dos sentidos que os homens daquele tempo compartilhavam, com o amparo de testemunhos de época e de resgates arqueológicos, evitando distorções de projeção teleológica e contribuindo para a superação do olhar eurocêntrico dos estudos clássicos de urbanização. O procedimento adotado permitiu o estabelecimento de alguns contrastes críticos sobre os conjuntos urbanos daquele período, entre as concepções daquele universo e as do presente, propiciando novos enfoques para as discussões de hierarquização e transição entre espaços públicos e privados. / This paper summarises extensive research of the processes of constitution of architecture and urbanization in the Ancient world. It presents the thesis that it is possible to outline a general and coherent frame of the urbanization process in the Ancient world based on the study of collective use buildings. By a frame the author refers to the methodological adoption of standards of long view and large extension in the selection of collective use buildings, ranging from the III millenium B.C. to the VII century A.C. and covering the Afro-Eurasian region. This original methodological approach enables the author to interpret the Ancient world from a standpoint closer to the peoples who then lived. The approach is also based on period literary anecdotal records and archaeological finds, which help avoid present day biases and to overcome the problem of parochialism, especially in the eurocentric studies on urbanization of classical civilizations. Such procedure allowed for the identification of some critical contrasts between city buildings and compounds of the Ancient world and between architectural and urban notions present then and now. The approach also rendered possible the discussion of some of the issues concerned in the public and private uses of buildings.

The aim of this paper was to find out the specifics of nursing care in clinical and community practice in Roma minority. Furthermore, to find out which of these specifics are missing in the J. N. Giger and R. E. Davidhizar nursing model and modify the nursing documentation based on this conceptual model accordingly. A combination of qualitative and quantitative research was used to achieve the set goals. The whole research was carried out within the framework of the team research project of GAJU No. 048/2015/S. Within the qualitative survey, 8 interviews with members of the Roma minority were carried out to verify the context of individual areas of the conceptual model. Furthermore, the focus group technique was used with nurses from clinical and community practice to verify the use of modified nursing documentation. The quantitative research used a non-standardised questionnaire based on the conceptual model areas for 600 respondents from the Roma minority. The research carried out has shown that health is one of the highest values in life for Roma people. Although health comes first, their way of life does not match this finding. This mainly concerns the area of substance abuse and disease prevention. Health care is influenced by their education. The more educated the individual is, the more they visit a doctor, they keep the treatment regimen and more generally they look after their health. The Roma minority is a relatively closed group of inhabitants, which to this day is difficult to assimilate into the majority society. Nevertheless, there is a gradual loss of some specific features. Above all, it is the loss of knowledge of the Roma language or the failure to observe some traditional Roma customs and traditions. This is mainly influenced by the social environment of the individual. All information obtained is clearly presented in the proposed documentation according to the Model of thoughtful and adapted care. Using this model provides us with a comprehensive assessment of the individual and the ability to better plan nursing care according to the needs of each individual.

<p>This research aimed for an extended knowledge and understanding of young people in stigmatized areas and their construction of group identity. With a focus on Roma youths in Konik, Montenegro, and their involvement in hip-hop we wanted to explore what this culture meant to them in relation to their context. An ethnographic approach was used in collecting the empirical data through observations, interpreting music lyrics and conducting qualitative semi-structured interviews. Five young Roma boys from Konik, all involved in hip-hop, were interviewed. Theoretical perspectives on identity, youth culture and stigmatization were central. In addition, Bourdieu’s theory regarding cultural capital was emphasized and connected to youths and hip-hop. The empirical material showed that involvement in hip-hop provided the Roma youths with a group identity that they referred to in positive terms. Contextual factors of stigmatization excluded the Roma group from the majority population and the engagement in hip-hop created a possibility for the youths to be someone. The cultural capital gained through hip-hop was not used to verify and legitimate an authentic Roma identity. It was rather a way for them to create boundaries towards the negative elements in their community.</p>

<p>Denna uppsats behandlar invandrade finska romers identitetsbygge i Sverige. Jag har gjort en kvalitativ intervjustudie med tre informanter. Syftet har varit att granska hur dessa finska romer i Sverige har format sin identitet under sin livstid och vilken roll skolan har haft för identitetsformeringen samt hur deras emigration har påverkat deras syn på sig själva som romer, finländare och/eller svenskar.</p><p>Jag har intervjuat en man i 30-års-åldern och två kvinnor, 45 respektive 50 år. Intervjuerna ägde rum i september 2005. Alla tre var födda i Finland, men har flyttat till Sverige under sin barndom eller ungdom. Informanterna ombedes bl.a. att definiera vem som de anser vara en rom i jämförelse till en modell som Romano Missio i Finland har på sin hemsida(http://www.romanomissio.fi/projektit/kalvot/002_kuka_on_romani.pdf ).</p><p>Av min undersökning kan man dra slutsatsen att förändringar är på gång inom den finskromska gruppen. Allt fler romer vill utbilda sig och speciellt kvinnorna har gjort framsteg inom det området. Ungdomarna umgås mer och mer med andra grupper, nya typer av identiteter växer fram och deras identitet får intryck från andra kulturer. Romerna diskuterar sina interna frågor i finska media vilket är nytt. Av mina intervjuer framgår att samhället saknar förståelse för romernas kultur och romska ungdomars livsvillkor. Att dessa inte alltid i lika stor utsträckning som majoriteten har möjligheter till individuella val.</p> / <p>This thesis investigates the construction of identity among immigrated Finnish Roma in Sweden. I have concluded three qualitative interviews, with a 30-year old man and two women, 45 and 50 years old. The purpose of these interviews has been to investigate in what fashion these individuals, all members of the Finnish Roma minority in Sweden, have constructed their identity and how their schooling has contributed to this.</p><p>I first got in contact with the man and via him a was able to reach the women and interview them too. All three were born in Finland but moved to Sweden during childhood or adolescence. The informants were among other things asked to define who is Roma and who is not, all according to a model that can be viewed at Romano Missio's Finnish website (http://www.romanomissio.fi/projektit/kalvot/002_kuka_on_romani.pdf ).</p><p>My investigation makes evident that changes are in progress in the Finnish Roma community in Sweden. An increasing number of Roma are interested in higher education. Youngsters seek contact with people from other societal groups and their identity is constructed increasingly in interaction with other cultures. Internal Roma issues are now more openly discussed in mainstream media in Finland. According to my research society lacks in understanding for and knowledge about Roma culture. Not much is known about the conditions under which Roma youngsters live and the fact that these young people do not get the same freedom of choice that is granted for others the same age.</p>

<p>The aim of this essay is to study the decision making process and implementation of the principle of political participation and influence for Roma minority in Sweden. The results regarding the decision making process is structured through a discourse influenced policy analyses. Problem picture and recommended measures in the political documents representing the decision making process are analysed through theories of minority rights and equality. The implementation is seen through, by the author given minority discourse and the work in the roma council and analysed by the same theories already mentioned.</p><p>The results show that regarding the decision process the aim of art.15 in the framework convention is based on the idea of equality while the Swedish documents relates more to an idea of the right to speak for the group. Regarding recommended measures, the framework convention gives several recommendations on specific measures for political participation while the Swedish documents focuses on the general politics of the state. The results of the analyses of the implementation shows that those actors in the discourse, comparing the political participation for romas before and after the implementation of the minority policy creates a positive view of the principle, while those relating the principle to real influence in the political decision gives a more negative view of the implementation. The work in the Roma council shows that the majority of the issues are in information and discussion form and mostly information given by government staff. There has been critical voices from Roma representatives, while an another think time will give more space for Romas to have more influence. The Roma representatives still have a position outside the positions of real power influence in the consultative body.</p>
