This article aims to present the concepts of current European Union's policy towards the Roma, starting with its origins up until recent years, as well as briefly diagnose the involvement of the EU's ...institutions in developing and implementing programs and guidelines for national policies towards the Roma people in member states. This research paper also analyzes to which degree the activities of the European Union, with special emphasis on the period from 2011, positively influences the level of inclusion and integration of the Roma people into mainstream societies of EU member states. Finally, this article attempts to evaluate the results of the implementation of the above-mentioned policy as well as to predict the challenges which may arise in case of continuation of activities in this area.
One of the greatest challenges during the enlargement process of the European Union towards the east is how the issue of the Roma or Gypsies is tackled. This ethnic minority group represents a much ...higher share by numbers, too, in some regions going above 20% of the population. This enormous social and political problem cannot be solved without proper historical studies like this book, the most comprehensive history of Gypsies in Romania. It is based on academic research, synthesizing the entire historical Romanian and foreign literature concerning this topic, and using lot of information from the archives. The main focus is laid on the events of the greatest consequence. Special attention is devoted to aspects linked to the long history of the Gypsies, such as slavery, the process of integration and assimilation into the majority population, as well as the marginalization of Gypsies, which has historic roots. The process of emancipation of Gypsies in the mid-19th century receives due treatment. The deportation of Gypsies to Transnistria during the Antonescu regime, between 1942-1944, is reconstructed in a special chapter. The closing chapters elaborate on the policy toward Gypsies in the decades after the Second World War that explain for the latest developments and for the situation of this population in today's Romania.
Antiziganism is a common phenomenon on the big screen. To examine this issue from various perspectives, acclaimed scholars and junior researchers, filmmakers and human rights activists, both Roma and ...non-Roma, gathered in Berlin in 2018 and presented their research output, shared personal testimonies and discussed films at the international conference “Antigypsyism and Film“. The present bilingual volume is a documentation of the conference proceedings. It contains academic articles and essays as well as interviews with filmmakers grouped in four thematic sections: antigypsyism in film, the question of ethics, strategies of subversion and antigypsyism in comparison to other forms of racism.; Antiziganismus ist Normalität auf der großen Leinwand. Um dieses Problem aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven zu untersuchen, versammelten sich Wissenschaftler und Nachwuchsforscher, Filmemacher und Menschenrechtsaktivisten – Roma wie Nicht-Roma – 2018 in Berlin zu einer internationalen Tagung: “Antiziganismus und Film“. Sie präsentierten ihre Forschungsergebnisse, teilten persönliche Zeugnisse und diskutierten Filme. Der vorliegende zweisprachige Band dokumentiert diese in ihrer Form bisher einzigartige Tagung. Der Tagungsband umfasst wissenschaftliche Artikel und Essays sowie Interviews mit Filmemachern, unterteilt in vier thematische Abschnitte: Antiziganismus im Film, Fragen der Ethik, Strategien der Subversion und Antiziganismus im Verhältnis zu anderen Ressentiments.
ABSTRACT - In the mid-nineteenth century, Genoa had a very lively musical life which shared the prevailing romantic climate in Europe and Italy In this cultural context the figure of Carlo Andrea ...Gambini (1819-1865) stands out. A comparison of the French text and its Italian translation highlights several variants, not devoid of ideological implications regarding the historical image of Columbus, which was and still is highly controversial. 1. Ieri sera adunque radunai una cinquantina di amici e di intelligent! fra" quali contavansi alcuni maestri e si eseguirono cinque pezzi delľ opera il Colombo. Questi pezzi erano i due finali, duc duetti, ľ aria del soprano con cori.15 Un accurata recensione della soirée usci alcuni giorni dopo sulľ«Espero» firmata dalla competente penna delľamico Giuseppe Novella: Il largo e la stretta del finale primo con cori, ľ aria del soprano pure con cori, il duetto a soprano e basso e il gran concertato finale secondo, furono i pezzi del dr amma suddetto che il Gambini offerse al giudizio, o per dir meglio alľammirazione de" dotti nelľarte, i quali unanimi resero giustizia al merito del giovane compositore ammirando sovrattutto la novità e sublimità de' concetti di cui è sfarzosamente cosparsa la sua musica molto ben servita dalla ricchezza e dalla robustezza deli'armonia, la quale si sarebbe viemmaggiormente gustata se invece delľaccompagnamento del solo piano-forte ci fosse stato possibile il sentirla eseguita da una buona e ben regolata orchestra... Persone intelligent! che hanno udito il lavoro assicurano che sará di molto effetto avendo ľ autore acconciamente introdotto nella Marcia alcuni Trio, uno alla spagnuola (Tempo di Bolero), ľaltro alľlndiana, accompagnato da Campanelli o sistri, ed il terzo
Il contributo indaga un particolare aspetto del concetto di confine relativamente al mondo femminile romano: per le donne romane il limen, la soglia della loro dimora, è idealmente e culturalmente il ...loro limes, il confine oltre il quale la loro azione non può più essere libera, ma è controllata secondo canoni etici precisi che impediscono alle donne di partecipare alla vita politica oppure di muoversi liberamente al di fuori dell'Urbs. Attraverso l'analisi di testi letterari, scelti tra l'età repubblicana e augustea e oltre, si individuano locuzioni come limen, domi, intra vs. extra, ultra che marcano con tutta evidenza questa marginalità imposta dal mos maiorum. La trasgressione di questi limiti implica un abdicare ai valori-guida tradizionali femminili, come la modestia e la pudicizia e quindi incrina l'onore femminile, per cui in conclusione si analizza a fondo l'esemplare caso-limite di Giulia maggiore esiliata dal padre Augusto per un'accusa di comportamento immorale.
Begging, thought to be an inherently un-Swedish phenomenon, became
a national fixture in the 2010s as homeless Romanian and Bulgarian
Roma EU citizens arrived in Sweden seeking economic opportunity.
...People without shelter were forced to use public spaces as their
private space, disturbing aesthetic and normative orders, creating
anxiety among Swedish subjects and resulting in hate crimes and
everyday racism. Parallel with Europe's refugee crisis in the
2010s, the "begging question" peaked. The presence of the media's
so-called EU migrants caused a crisis in Swedish society along
political, juridical, moral, and social lines due to the
contradiction embodied in the Swedish authorities' denial of social
support to them while simultaneously seeking to maintain the
nation's image as promoting welfare, equality, and antiracism. In
The Begging Question Erik Hansson argues that the material
configurations of capitalism and class society are not only
racialized but also unconsciously invested with collective
anxieties and desires. By focusing on Swedish society's response to
the begging question, Hansson provides insight into the dialectics
of racism. He shrewdly deploys Marxian economics and Lacanian
psychoanalysis to explain how it became possible to do what once
was thought impossible: criminalize begging and make fascism
politically mainstream, in Sweden. What Hansson reveals is not just
an insight into one of the most captivating countries on earth but
also a timely glimpse into what it means to be human.
