It can be claimed that modern European musical culture contributed to the crystalliza-tion and dissemination of a certain stereotype of a Gypsy person, and contributed to the creation of the highly romanticised Gypsy myth. The author of the paper – Anna G. Piotrowska, shows how 19th century operas, operettas or instrumental works helped to propagate the image of the stereotyped Gypsy, and ventures to prove that also pop music heavily draws on the same stereotype. Of special interest for her is Polish 20th and 21st century situation where conventionalized picture of Gypsies was conveyed and even a subgenre called Gypsy disco polo emerged. The author summarizes her observations by defining these specific features attributed to the widely understood ‘Gypsyness’ that assure its popularity in the realm of musical culture.

An argot is a secret language used by various groups to prevent outsiders from understanding their conversations. Romani knowledge among non-Romani is very rare, so the Romani language, being incomprehensible to a person belonging to the majority population, is a source of material for argots. This article focuses on the specific speech of semi-itinerant Czech funfair providers and traders, entertainer minorities etc. Part of the study is an analysis of authentic text using the example of a fairy-tale and two songs recorded during fieldwork.

The article deals with the issue Romani people settled in the Kingdom of Poland based on the first census that was conducted in the Russian empire in 1897. Its analysis allowed to determine the number of settled Romani groups (1061 people),which represented the rural settlement. As far as the population was concerned, the largest settlements were created in the two adjacent governorates – Lublin Governorate and Warsaw Governorate. This group, barely reaching one thousand people, was mostly concentrated on the East bank of the Vistula River. This river, as it turn out, a demarcation line for the Romani colonists, with some exceptions. The further to the West, the numbers of the settlers were lower, and the other way around – the further to the East, the higher the number of the settled Romani people. It is difficult to define occupational, social and religious structure due to lack of relevant data and primarily its fragmentation.

The present paper is based on fieldwork in Pushkar (Rajasthan) with the Kalbelia caste: traditionally associated with snake charming, it has recently been turning its own musical and dance heritage into a distinguishing feature of Rājasthānī folklore. This paper, through the description of the ethnohistory of Kalbelia dance leads to some considerations concerning the social status of female professional dancers in modern Indian society. The present social status of female professional dancers will be here described as an outcome of the past British colonial presence in India. The analysis will prove how the colonial past continues to haunt the Indian social and cultural present. Besides, through this case study, it will be argued that caste is not the unchanging, historically frozen structure as ethnographic imagination has largely presented it. On the contrary, caste will be considered to be the product of a dynamic balance ruled by economic, ideological and cultural requests.

In her article, the author states that the topic of countryside in Russian lit-erature has been addressed for a long period of time and this is continued on a contemporary basis, as exemplified by literary works of new realist, including Zakhar Prilepin (Sankhja, short stories from the collection Eight) and Irina Mamaeva (Lenka’s Wedding, The Land of Gai). The depiction of countryside pre-sented by these writers is negative in meaning as descriptions of both rural life conditions and spatial elements are dominated by motifs of destruction and decay. People leaving here do not have any opportunities or hope for improvement of their lives and cannot adjust to the reality following the political transformations. Showing the vanishing of patriarchal tradition, Prilepin and Mamaeva attempt at some kind of dispute with the representatives of rural prose of the 1960s and 1970s.

!e ethnic group known by many names – calling themselves Mugat or Mugati Tubjoni, and by others as Lyuli, Jugi, Multoni, Mazang and Tavoktarosh. !e paper attempt to shed light on current socio-economic problems of ethnic group popularly known in post-Soviet area as “Central Asian Gypsies”, due to their regional inhabitancy in Central Asia, primarily Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. Similarly to Romani, the Lyuli share bitter fate of socially marginalized group. !e years of communism contributed to gradual integration with local societies in Central Asia. Nevertheless, the dissolution of the Soviet Union gave rise to acute socio-economic prob-lems and accelerated reverse process. Currently, the group face new challenges related to migration and new wave of discrimination.

This paper analyses Vittoria Piissimi’s best performance in La Zingara (The Gypsy), performed on the occasion of the Medici marriage of Grand Duke Ferdinando with Cristina di Lorena in Florence in 1589. Piissimi was an excellent artist of the 16 th century with a great talent for fascinating the audience. Examining records about gypsy tales and plays, this paper explores similarities and differences amongst Piissimi’s descriptions and interpretations of the gypsy.

Vittoria Piissimi è stata un’attrice eccezionale del XVI secolo, avvezza sia alle parti serie che a quelle comiche e di servetta, che esercitò un grande fascino sul pubblico dell’epoca. È stato analizzato, in particolare, il suo cavallo di battaglia: La Zingana, che propose a Firenze nel 1589 con la Compagnia dei Gelosi in occasione delle nozze tra il Granduca Ferdinando De Medici e Cristina di Lorena. Prendendo in esame la sola testimonianza diretta sull’occasione, le informazioni in essa presenti sono state incrociate con fonti di varia natura: descrizioni della Piissimi, testi coevi (letterari e teatrali) e dipinti a tema zingaresco, che hanno potuto avere o ricevere un’influenza dalla versione della zingara “interpretata” dall’attrice.

Two concentration camps were established for Roma people in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in 1942. Roma from Bohemia were deported to Lety and Roma from Moravia to the camp near Hodonín u Kunštátu, before most of them were murdered in the “Gypsy family camp” (Zigeunerlager) in Auschwitz II. Birkenau. The lists of prisoners are valuable not only for historians (they were published previously by the historian Ctibor Nečas), but also for onomastics, as they allow us to analyse the naming practise of Czech and Moravian Roma in the pre-war period. There are 325 unique surnames on these lists, with most of them being Czech or German, and they thus demonstrate the connection with the territory and its language(s). The study discusses the most common Roma surnames in Moravia (e.g. Daniel, Holomek, Burianský) and in Bohemia (e.g. Růžička, Janeček, Vrba) as well as the surnames of Sinti living in the Czech borderland regions (e.g. Winter). It is shown that the surnames of Roma from Bohemia and Moravia were different due to the historical and social reasons. They were mostly derived from personal names (e.g. Florián) and place names (e.g. Dubský), they were motivated by the occupation adopted (e.g. Kovář ‘smith’) or the character and appearance of the individual (e.g. Malík ‘small’). After the war, only 583 of the 4,870 Roma who had been imprisoned returned.

Na území Protektorátu Čechy a Moravy byly v roce 1942 zřízeny dva tzv. cikánské koncentrační tábory. Romové z Čech byly deportováni do tábora v Letech, Romové z Moravy a Slezska do tábora nedaleko Hodonína u Kunštátu. Většina z nich poté byla zavražděna v “cikánském rodinném táboře” (Zigeunerlager) v Osvětimi II. Březince. Seznamy vězňů jsou velmi cenné nejen pro historiky (byly vydány historikem Ctiborem Nečasem), ale i pro onomastiky, neboť nám dovolují nahlédnout do pojmenovávacích zvyklostí českých a moravských Romů v předválečném období. Na těchto seznamech nacházíme 325 příjmení. Většina z nich je česká, popř. německá, a dokládají tak sepětí s tímto územím a jeho jazykem/jazyky. Studie analyzuje nejčastější příjmení na Moravě (např. Daniel, Holomek a Burianský) i v Čechách (např. Růžička, Vrba a Janeček), stejně jako příjmení Sintů žijících v oblasti Sudet (např. Winter, Bernhardt). Ukazuje se, že příjmení Romů v Čechách a na Moravě byla odlišná, což bylo dáno historickými a sociálními příčinami. Nejčastěji byla odvozena z osobních jmen (např. Florián) nebo toponym (např. Dubský), byla motivována povoláním (např. Kovář) nebo charakterem a vzhledem (např. Malík). Po válce se z 4 870 Romů vrátilo jen 583.

Na podstawie ogólnopolskich i gatunkowo różnorodnych dokumentacji materiałowych autor analizuje zakres oraz kulturowe funkcje postaci obcych etnicznie występujących w obrzędowości dorocznej. W sensie identyfikacyjnym są to przede wszystkim: Żyd, Cygan, Turek, Niemiec, Węgier, Kozak oraz postać o uogólnionej nazwie Cudzoziemiec. Niektóre z nich, np. Węgier czy Turek, występują tylko w określonych gatunkach i obrzędach, a postacią o szerokim zakresie występowania jest głównie Żyd. W artykule szczegółowiej analizowane są takie eksponenty obcości, jak: język, ubiór, cechy fizyczne wyglądu, gesty, śpiew i muzyka, wiedza i umiejętności, atrybuty, wyznanie. W końcowej części opracowania autor wskazuje na fakt, że występujące w polskich obrzędach dorocznych postaci obcych, w odróżnieniu od potocznych stereotypów, są także znakiem intencjonalnego i symbolicznego ich włączania do wspólnoty. Proces ten jest wielowymiarowy i realizuje się m.in. poprzez takie wykładniki, jak „polonizacja” głównie w stroju, funkcjonalna ekwiwalentyzacja do innych postaci, zmiana semantycznej waloryzacji z negatywnej na pozytywną albo bardziej bezpośrednio w sensie społecznym, a więc uwzględnianie obcych jako równorzędnych adresatów i uczestników obrzędów.

On the basis of data from various genres, the author analyzes the range and cultural functions of the images of ethnic foreigners in annual rituals. These include: the Jew, Gypsy, Turk, German, Hungarian, Cossack and a generalized figure called “the foreigner”. Some of them, e.g. the Hungarian or the Turk, only appear in some genres and rituals, whereas the Jew appears in a wide spectrum of genres. The article analyzes in greater detail the following exponents of foreignness: the language, clothes, appearance, gestures, singing and music, knowledge and skills, attributes and religion. The author also stresses that the figures of the foreigners, in contrast to commonplace stereotypes, are also manifestations of intentional and symbolic admissions of the people to the community. The process is multidimensional and is realized through Polonization (mainly in attire), functional equivalence to other figures, a change of semantic valuation (from negative to positive) or a socially grounded treatment of the foreigners as both addressees and participants of rituals.
