Fenomenologia zingara. Etnografia di una comunità rom a Palermo
2015
Il volume, esito di una ricerca etnografica, prova a fornire un quadro esaustivo della fenomenologia zingara a Palermo, come caso idiografico, con costante riferimento comparativo all'ambito nazionale, per un possibile assioma nomotetico. Il focus tematico è centrato sulla marginalità dei gruppi rom, sulle loro strategie di sopravvivenza negli interstizi della società maggioritaria e sulla riproduzione dei loro etnemi. Il testo si sofferma, inoltre, sulle prassi di insediamento, adattamento e conservazione dei principali tratti culturali della più grande minoranza etnica europea. Un esempio della trasmissione culturale è l'analisi ermeneutica del rito festivo di San Giorgio (Herdelezi), la …
Regional existence of the "Gypsy nation" : Lorraine’s "Bohémiens" at the end of the Ancien Regime : (seventeenth-eighteenth centuries)
2015
In the eighteenth century, the "Bohémiens" are already in the kingdom of France and its provinces since over three hundred years. In the last two centuries of the Ancien Regime, their lifestyle is progressively criminalized, resulting in their rejection in marginal fringes of vagabonds, thieves, etc. Therefore, in the historiography of these groups in Western Europe in the modern era, criminal law and judicial archives dominate. However, it must be moved beyond an unambiguous reading of these documents. The study of the regulation of the "Bohémiens" in Lorraine (in fact Gypsies belonging to the Manouche or Sinti group) and considerations of doctrine provide a broad framework, but the many p…

The Representation of Roma in the Romanian Media During COVID-19: Performing Control Through Discursive-Performative Repertoires
2021
This article investigates the narratives employed by the Romanian media in covering the development of COVID-19 in Roma communities in Romania. This paper aims to contribute to academic literature on Romani studies, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, by adopting as its case study the town of Ţăndărei, a small town in the south of Romania, which in early 2020 was widely reported by Romanian media during both the pre- and post-quarantine period. The contributions rest on anchoring the study in post-foundational theory and media studies to understand the performativity of Roma identity and the discursive-performative practices of control employed by the Romania media in the first half…
How to Empower Gypsies? An Ethnographic Study
2010
The work focuses on the case of the nomad camp of Palermo, in southern Italy, where three groups of “Gypsies” have been living for twenty-five years, in ghetto-like conditions. This camp represents a world outside the city, or rather a confined microcosm, with, except for volunteer workers, sporadic contact with the people of the city or the public administration. . This means that there is no inter-relationship between the camp and the outside world. On the contrary, for the so-called host society, the three different groups represent a sort of generic and nebulous whole, cut off in a green area, surrounded by a high wall. Not seeing them means not caring about them, their living condition…
