"Put your own house in order first": local perceptions of EU influence on Romani integration policies in the Czech Republic
No full textThis article examines the influence of the European Union (EU) on the development and implementation of Romani integration policy in the Czech Republic from the perspective of those responsible for policy delivery. Based on analysis of key policy documents and research conducted in the Czech Republic, this article first examines how Romani integration became a more important issue during membership negotiations and then discusses how the criticism of the European Commission's Regular Reports was received by those responsible for implementing pro-Romani policies. Finally, the paper assesses how the status of full EU membership has impacted on integration policy. The article concludes that while funding for Romani integration projects has benefitted some groups, the overall impression of the EU is of a remote institution, quick to criticise and unwilling to practise what it preaches
Narrative threads: ethnographic tourism, Romani tourist tales, and fiber art
No full textThis thesis examines the need for the ethnographer to process their own emotions and experiences as part of the ethnographic experience. Specifically, it argues for the credibility of artistic expression resulting from fieldwork.
Drawing on the author’s experience during the 2012 inaugural "Romani Music, Culture, and Human Rights" study abroad program at the University of Pittsburgh, this thesis offers an analysis of five works of fiber art. Originally perceived by the author as separate from the thesis writing process, they became an integral part of thesis once they were recognized as the non-verbal processing of the my emotional response to events abroad and, therefore, essential components of the research process.
I argue that emotional processing is an integral part of writing an ethnography, for as the ethnographer works through their experiences, their understanding of the events changes, and this in turn impacts the ways in which the ethnographic is perceived and analyzed
Romani Minorities and Uneven Citizenship Access in the Post-Yugoslav Space
No full textThis paper discusses the position of Romani minorities in the light of the state dissolution and further citizenship regime transformations after the disintegration of the former Socialist Yugoslavia. While observing closely the repositioning of the Romani minorities in the post-Yugoslav space, it explicates that in the case of state dissolution, the unevenness of citizenship does not only manifest in the rights dimension, but also in uneven access to citizenship with regard to new polities
Where are the Romanies? An Absent Presence in Narratives of Britishness
No full textThe article explores the exclusion or ghettoization of British Romani experience in narratives of historical Britishness, an action that resounds in contemporary politics and identities. It suggests that scholarship might do more to retrieve quotidian and, in particular, shared histories of British Romani culture, integrating those histories into broader narratives about a national past. This scholarly retrieval of everyday Romani life in the past involves reconsidering what might constitute evidence of this experience, and might be open to rewriting established orthodoxies of Romani/Gypsy Studies, with an awareness of the politics of such subversion
A quasilinear transmission problem with application to Maxwell equations with a divergence-free D-field
No full textMaxwell equations in the absence of free charges require initial data with a divergence-free displacement field D. In materials in which the dependence D=D(E) is nonlinear the quasilinear problem ∇⋅D(E)=0 is hence to be solved. In many applications, e.g. in the modelling of wave packets, an approximative asymptotic ansatz of the electric field E is used, which satisfies this divergence condition at t=0 only up to a small residual. We search then for a small correction of the ansatz to enforce ∇⋅D(E)=0 at t=0 and choose this correction in the form of a gradient field. In the usual case of a power type nonlinearity in D(E) this leads to the sum of the Laplace and p-Laplace operators. We also allow for the medium to consist of two different materials so that a transmission problem across an interface is produced. We prove the existence of the correction term for a general class of nonlinearities and provide regularity estimates for its derivatives, independent of the L2-norm of the original ansatz. In this way, when applied to the wave packet setting, the correction term is indeed asymptotically smaller than the original ansatz. We also provide numerical experiments to support our analysis
Pietro Bembo tra cultura figurativa cortigiana e "maniera moderna"
No full textIl saggio discute i rapporti di Pietro Bembo con le arti figurative, dalla stagione giovanile legata alla cultura delle corti e al mondo di Giovanni Bellini, di Giorgione e di Tiziano; ripercorre gli anni romani, discutendo il rapporto con Raffaello e Michelangelo nel quadro della corte di Leone X, per approdare infine agli anni del cardinalato nella Roma farnesiana
Unity or Contiguity: Towards a New Theory of Romani Literature
No full textRomani literature has an important role in challenging the predominant negative views about Roma, but its influence is lessened by the minimization of Romani cultural expressions, literature being one of them. In this paper, after a theoretical positioning of Romani literature, I show how contemporary Romani literature could expand its position of influence through a re-evaluation of what constitutes the literary canon, and by the promotion, by scholars and specialists, of a “Romani literary complex.” As a case study, I discuss here two Francophone texts, by a Roma (Anina Ciuciu) and by a non-Roma (Valérie Rodrigue), positing that, although not “literary” in the traditional sense, both of them could be considered part of an emerging Romani literary
complex that , in turn, might accelerate the institutionalization of this literature

Le marche sgradite: l’altra faccia delle preferenze del consumatore. Costruzione e validazione di una scala di misurazione
No full textNell’ambito dell’analisi sul consumatore la ricerca ha tradizionalmente focalizzato
l’attenzione sugli atteggiamenti come antecedenti dell’intenzione d’acquisto. Pertanto
l’analisi empirica si è quasi sempre concentrata sulle manifestazioni “positive” di tali
atteggiamenti. Di recente, sta assumendo interesse l’analisi delle manifestazioni
“negative” (brand dislike) e dei relativi comportamenti. In letteratura i contributi
inerenti a questa tematica provengono da diversi filoni che verranno presi in rassegna
nella prima parte dell’articolo. Dal punto di vista empirico lo scopo principale di
questo lavoro è quello di comprendere e misurare il concetto di marca sgradita
individuandone le principali determinanti. Scopo secondario è quello di creare e
convalidare una scala di misurazione applicabile nel campo delle ricerche di mercato
