Postavy Rómov v slovenských a rómskych rozprávaniach

Year, pages: 2010, 290 - 305

The paper sets out to compare accounts from the oral prose repertoire in Slovakia, which were recorded in the Slovak and Romani languages and where Roma are featured. For the purposes of the study I chose texts from various sources (= recorded oral narratives); the criterion for choosing was whether there was mention in the texts of characters designated as (male/female) Gypsy or Roma. First of all, I traced how the characters Gypsy man/woman or Roma man/woman are depicted and characterized. Further to this, I explored in more detail the question of which genres of oral prose the narratives featuring Roma characters belong to. In conclusion, I assessed to what extent we can trace a definite idea of Roma in the narrations, hence what narrative hetero-image (idea of the Roma in Slovak narrations) and self-image (idea of Roma in narrations by Roma) is featured.
