Despre dificultatea asumării denumirii de „ţigan” în spaţiul public românesc
On Difficulty in Assuming the Name „Gyspy” within the Romanian Public Space

Summary/Abstract: This study aims at explaining the nature of various attitudes and social representations in relation to „Roma”/„Gypsies”. The objectives are: to highlight the causes of polarization of the Romanian public space when it comes to that „ethnic group” seen as a whole regardless of each member’s personal, social and cultural identity, to identify patterns of representations and stereotypes against „Roma”/„Gypsies”: This research which explores how Romania accepts its cultural diversity by investigating the representations about „Roma”/„Gypsies” is motivated by the need to identify items underlying the „Roma”/„Gypsies”’ social exclusion and social distance.
