Summary/Abstract: Situated at the “edge of the society”, Roma citizens did not represent in the collective conscience the example of a disliked society, unorganized due to poverty and humiliation, but a society with a high degree of internal organization, autonomous. Though the majority looks at their way of life as not being compatible with a “normal” life and all the less modern, it is specific for many Roma communities. It is rather considered a way of surviving than a way of life itself, where modern society is tolerated or ignored to a certain extent.
