Abstract

This article reflects on the conceptual debt that anthropology has developed towards the peoples it studies, by exploring the case-study of Gypsy/Roma anthropology. We argue that ethnographically-grounded research has enabled anthropologists to access and incorporate Gypsy/Roma visions and practices of the world. The flexible Gypsy epistemologies, which Gypsies/ Roma use in the social and cultural construction of particular forms of identity and mobility, have thus translated into a specific practice of theory, which has provided more adequate tools for grasping the complexity of reality and contributed to a decolonialisation of anthropological thought.

灵活的认识论:吉普赛人/罗姆人思维与人类学理论

本文通过对吉普赛人/罗姆人人类学的个案研究，反思了人类学对其所研究的民族所形成的概念债务。我们认为，以人种学为基础的研究使人类学家能够接触和整合吉普赛人/罗姆人的世界观和世界实践。因此，吉普赛人/罗姆人在特定形式的身份和流动的社会和文化建构中使用的灵活的吉普赛人认识论已经转化为一种具体的理论实践，这为掌握现实的复杂性提供了更充分的工具，并有助于人类学思想的非殖民化。
