Tartalmi leírás:
The aim of the study is to present exemplary figures found in Roma cul
-
ture. The author distinguishes two main types: Roma exemplary figures arising
from official knowledge and from informal knowledge. He includes in the former
category historical heroes, artists and stars, while the latter comprises everyday
heroes (unheroic heroes). One of the main conclusions of the study is that the
Romas either have only superficial knowledge of the Roma exemplary figures
existing in official knowledge (e.g. historical heroes, artists), or they project a ste
-
reotypical image of Romas (e.g. celebs), that make them unsuited to promoting
Roma integration. Then, through the example of the community-shaping influ
-
ence of the Cursillo chorus of the Gypsies in Szendrőlád who have converted to
Catholicism, he shows how everyday heroes can provide the identity-shaping
influence that is present only superficially in the cult of historical heroes, and as a
consequence how they can become foundation stones of Roma integration.
