In Spain, this resulted in the most painful episode in the history of the country’s “Gypsy” community: the general round-up carried out during the reign of Ferdinand VI, on July 30, 1749. The operation, which was as thorough as it was indiscriminate, led to the internment of ten to twelve thousand people, men and women, young and old, “simply because they were Gypsies.” The co-ordination of the different public authorities involved, the co-operation of the Church, which remained passive in the face of such injustice, the excesses committed by all those who made the operation possible, and the collaboration of the prisoners’ fellow citizens and neighbours made “Black Wednesday”, as the round-up is also called, an unchallenged event in the long history of European anti-“Gypsyism”.

Even though some groups do not call themselves "Roma," all Romani speaking groups use the name "Romanes" for their language and "Romani/Romano/Romane" for everything related to their group. All groups use the same language, and all languages can be subdivided into dialects. Three aspects make Romani dialects more diverse than other EU dialects: absence of centuries long influence from a standard language or prestige dialect; influence from a variety of local languages; and a great number of communities of Romani speakers (with speakers not all in contact with each other).

  • Austro-Hungarian Empire
    PROJECT EDUCATION OF ROMA | HISTORY ROMA CHILDREN COUNCIL CONSEIL OF EUROPE DE L´EUROPE IN EUROPE AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN 3.1 EMPIRE Austro-Hungarian compiled by the editors Empire A New Method: Assimilation | The Four Decrees of Maria Theresia | Little Success | Failed Attempts in Spain and Germany Already at an early stage, people had tried to stop the Roma from living their way of life and culture. On a larger scale, however, policies of assimilation to the majority population were only pushed ahead by rulers in the Age of Enlightened Absolutism. Empress Maria Theresia and her son Joseph II in particular pursued programs which aimed at the Roma’s settlement and assimilation. Instead of physical violence a new form of cruelty was used in order to transform the uncontrollable and, to the state, unproductive “Gypsies” into settled, profitable subjects: the Roma were given land, they were no longer allowed to speak Romani and marry among each other, they were registered, and finally their children were taken away. However, these measures succeeded only in Western Hungary, today’s Austrian Burgenland and adjacent areas. In the other territories of the Empire, as well as in Spain and Germany, where the pressure for assimilation was likewise increased, the rulers’ policy of assimilation failed. COMITATUS MOSON INTRODUCTION (WIESELBURG) The Age of Enlightened Absolutism was characterised by essential changes in the sovereigns’ policies toward the “Gypsies”. In the face of the complete failure of all attempts to banish them COMITATUS permanently from their dominion, the SOPRON sovereigns of the Enlightenment were (ÖDENBURG) searching for new methods and ways to solve the “Gypsy problem” from the second half of the 18th century onwards.

  • Covid-19 and Minority Rights: Overview and Promising Practices
    HUMAN RIGHTS AT THE HEART OF RESPONSE TOPICS IN FOCUS COVID-19 AND MINORITY RIGHTS 4 JUNE 2020 COVID-19 AND MINORITY RIGHTS: OVERVIEW AND PROMISING PRACTICES WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON MINORITIES? COVID-19 has a broad range of disproportionate and adverse impacts upon national, ethnic, religious and linguistic minority communities. Some minority groups have suffered death rates several times higher than other groups during the pandemic. Emergency measures, including lockdowns, in response to COVID-19 have had a profound impact on people from minority groups, particularly migrants. Minority communities also face greater impacts from the economic downturn engendered by the pandemic. In countries where official data exist, a disproportionate number of deaths affecting minorities has been confirmed, revealing substantial, structural inequalities in society1. While COVID-19 poses a huge challenge to the whole of society, the impact on minorities can be more severe in a number of ways, and for a variety of reasons. Experiences differ, of course, between minority communities and in different contexts. But there are a number of areas of concern that have quickly emerged as particularly relevant for minorities in many locations. The pandemic has been most devastating for the lives, health and well-being of those with lower socio-economic status – a category that tracks closely with minority status in most countries2. In certain regions or countries, minorities are more likely to live in over-crowded housing conditions, making physical distancing and self- isolation more challenging, and some live in conditions with inadequate access to water and sanitation or where those utilities are communal.

    ROMA AT A GLANCE OVERVIEW Roma have origins in North India, and scholars estimate that their migration happened more than million Roma worldwide a thousand years ago. 15 There are currently upwards of 15 million Roma living across the world. Roma are citizens of the countries they live in unless institutional barriers million Roma in Europe hinder it. 10-12 Throughout the centuries, a persistent mechanism of oppression has been established against Roma populations. In Europe, for more than seven centuries, Roma went from one harmful policy to million Roma in Latin America another: enslavement for 500 years in Romania, 1.5 mass killings during the Holocaust, forced assimilation until the early 2000s in some Central and Eastern European countries. million Roma in North America More so, the history and the collective memory 1 of domination and violence, and power imposed through enslavement, mass killings, expulsions, forced assimilation, or forced sterilization of Romani women, has received no recognition, but still informs the inequalities and the anti-Roma thousand Roma in Australia sentiments prevalent today. 100 Roma or the Romani people is an umbrella term for groups identified, amongst others, as Roma, Gitanos, Sinti, Manush.

  • Vampires in Transition
    VAMPIRES IN TRANSITION Daniel Berjano Rodríguez Utrecht University and Universidad de Granada GEMMA 2016-2018 Supervisor: Adelina Sánchez Espinosa (UGR) Second supervisor: Gianmaria Colpani (UU) July 2018 VAMPIRES IN TRANSITION ABSTRACT In Vampires in Transition, I develop semiotic analyses of two key films of the Spanish transition: Elisa, vida mia (Carlos Saura, 1977) and Arrebato (Ivan Zulueta, 1980). Building off Gilles Deleuze's semiotics (1986, 1989) and Teresa de Lauretis' film theory (1984, 1987) – both drawing on Charles Sanders Peirce (1930-35/1958), I have designed three inter-connected concepts in relation to the vampire figuration: 'vampire-images', 'camera-vampires', and the 'phoenix'. One one hand, these concepts aim to approach the films under study through decolonial and trans-feminist perspectives. On the other hand, they intend to draw meaningful insights on Hispanic film studies in relation to what Donna Haraway calls “informatics of domination” (1991c). Departing from one of the peripheral meanings of the vampire – a male sexual predator, the vampire has been designed as a perverse figuration of structural violence in cybernetic capitalism which could help us understand the relationship between massive addictive habits of digital machines and western patriarchal agendas, as Wendy Huy Kyong Chun studies (2016). Drawing on Teresa de Luretis (1984) and my own trans-faggot experience, vampire-images are designed to give an account of the processes of simulation that work to erase traces of exploitation. They depart from Gilles Deleuze's time-images of modern cinema (1989), which imply irrational cuts caused by particular relinkages of sound and visual data. In addition, as my analysis of Elisa, vida mia attempts to prove, vampire-images involve icons of women as objectified or subordinated to men.

DisappointingBy KitI am a mythology nut, so when I saw this book I was very excited to read it. However, that all changed as when I purchased it, I found out that not only was it frighteningly small, but more than half of the book was blank. At first I thought there was just a fluke in printing, but I got ahold of another buyer who told me that his book was in the same condition. If you are looking for a interesting book on the lore and myth of this particular hellhound, this is not your book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Guardian at the Gates of HellBy UnclepeacockCerberus (Greek mythology) is best known as the guardian to the gates of Hades (the Underworld).His sole task is essentially be the "bouncer" of Hades. As the rules go, only the dead may enter the Underworld, and none may leave.There are only a couple of myths in Greek mythology where a hero gets the better of Cerberus. The first is when Orpheus (Greek mythology), the famed musician, sneaks into Hades by lulling the usually unstoppable Cerberus to sleep with his beautiful music.This is a short but comprehensive book on a fascinating subject.
