Integration through education in Romani settlements
The ethnographer twice estranged? Methodological reflection on the embodied emotions within a Romani Pentecostal community
The aim of this text is to illustrate how embodied emotions surfacing during fieldwork can be used to inform how non-Romani social scientists understand the Romani religious lifeworlds. The authors analyse the way in which physical expressions of strong emotions are interpreted. In this specific case, similarities which the informants perceived with reference to the bodily reactions of the anthropologists led, in fact, to an intersubjective convi…
Political Violence and Instrumental Use of Religion in the Works of Carl Schmitt and Walter Benjamin

Wśród polskich Romów są także zdecydowani przeciwnicy posługiwania się tą nazwą. Ten wewnętrzny etniczny spór sp…
