Full text linkAntiziganisms: Ethnographic Engagements in Europe
Full text linkParallel to the interest in Roma at the social and political level, Antiziganism has rapidly gained the interest of social sciences since 2000. A copious literature has contributed to decisive breakthroughs in defining the concept and identifying its roots in the history of Europe. However, the debate has mostly developed with “Antiziganism” in singular declension, with the frequent merging together of cases originating in different contexts. After a speedy evolution, theorization shows signs of entering conceptualization redundancy. This thematic section wishes to move beyond the currently prevailing top-down reflection on Antiziganism. It offers the results of public anthropology and interdisciplinary research-actions, carried on in local contexts, in spaces of interaction between the Roma and the non-Roma, and by ethnographers intervening to promote a change. Ethnography of “Antiziganisms” and of the practices which counteract them offer opportunities for revealing the link between antiziganism and other forms of racism, the cognitive and emotional experience of the subjects at play in the specific field and the fuzziness of the dividing lines between their agency. It is finally a chance to experiment with the applicability, adaptability and transferability of disciplinary knowledge. Parallelamente alla crescita di interesse verso i gruppi Rom a livello politico e sociale, l’Antiziganismo è diventato oggetto di studio da parte delle scienze sociali a partire dagli anni 2000. Una ricca letteratura ha contribuito alla definizione del concetto e all’identificazione delle sue radici nella stessa storia Europea. Il dibattito si è finora sviluppato intorno a una declinazione al singolare del concetto e a partire da analisi di casi raccolti a “volo d’uccello”, provenienti cioè da realtà lontane tra loro e tendenzialmente decontestualizzati. Di conseguenza, dopo una rapida evoluzione la teorizzazione mostra oggi segni di impasse e di ridondanza. Questa sezione tematica si propone di superare tale impostazione teorico-deduttiva della riflessione sull’Antiziganismo, presentando i risultati di ricerche-azione di antropologia pubblica svoltesi in contesti locali, in dialogo con altre discipline e in spazi di interazione tra Rom e non-Rom, nei quali gli etnografi intervengono per promuovere un cambiamento. Questa etnografia degli “Antiziganismi” e delle pratiche di contrasto offre la possibilità di studiare empiricamente la connessione tra l’antiziganismo e altre forme di razzismo, le esperienze cognitive ed emotive degli attori di volta in volta in campo e la complessità delle linee che ne demarcano la capacità e la direzionalità dell’azione. È, inoltre, una possibilità per mettere alla prova l’applicabilità, l’adattabilità e la trasferibilità dei saperi disciplinari

Antiziganismo: Strumenti interpretativi e fenomenologia contemporanea
Full text linkThe article is divided into three parts. The first concerns the concept of Anti-Gypsyism; the second, the stereotypes and the research conducted by the author on the alleged kidnapping by Roma; concludes with a discussion about the link between Anti-Gypsyism, power and urban space. Anti-Gypsyism is a distinct type of racist ideology. It is, at the same time, similar, different, and intertwined with many other types of racism. Anti- Gypsyism is used to justify and perpetrate the exclusion and supposed inferiority of Roma and is based on historical persecution and negative stereotypes (see also V. Nicolae 2006). According to Herzfeld (1997) stereotypes can be used for trade or in situations of conflict in which questions of identity are played out. Individuals and social groups appropriate these collective imaginations and use them to reify their sense of collective self. The analysis of cases of alleged kidnapping clearly shows the “baby-stealing Gypsies” stereotype in action and exemplar in action and how it produces effects of reality. Drawing on an ethnographic study on the cases of alleged kidnapping of non-Romani children by Roma and Sinti adults in Italy, the research demonstrates how negative stereotyping which construct the Roma as dangerous nomadic people, foreigners from whom society must be protected, can affect their treatment by prosecutors, lawyers and judges in the Italian judicial system. The conflation of Romani identity with nomadic lifestyle features widely in Italian public discourse on the Roma and, as it has been validly pointed out in scholarly debate (Piasere 1991; Brunello 1996; Sigona 2002), has gone some way towards building differential treatment towards Romani groups in particular in relation to housing policies and the spread of ‘nomad camps’ (Sigona 2005).The article is divided into three parts.

L’anti-politica delle policies abitative in Italia: uno sguardo di medio/lungo periodo
Full text linkIl campo etnografico che ha al centro la casa e la sua declinazione come questione abitativa in Italia, mostra la necessità di dare profondità al presente attraverso una prospettiva di medio/lungo periodo sulle policies abitative, legando assieme politica e cultura. Nel trattamento istituzionale del disagio abitativo confluiscono grandi temi, tra i quali la produzione dei poveri ‘utili’ o ‘indesiderabili’ e dei dispositivi di controllo della popolazione; così come i processi di costruzione, materiale e simbolica, delle periferie, di displacement, gentrification, di finanziarizzazione, e di (ri)configurazione dello Stato sociale. Proprio perché intorno all’abitare si tessono storie di violenza strutturale, l’analisi che qui si propone sceglie una scala nazionale, oltre ad una postura che apre ad altre discipline, per individuare fils rouges che attraversano le politiche abitative dal secondo dopoguerra a oggi, appoggiandosi per la scelta del periodo ad una lettura consolidata, e costruendo il discorso con contrappunti da etnografie, ricerche e studi
