Abstract

Abstract:The article analyses Violet Cannon's collaborative life story, Gypsy princess: The true story of a Romany childhood (2011) from various positions that Cannon takes up in relation to dubious paratextual representations: a much-critiqued popular television series, the group(s) that she belongs to, marriage and divorce, and family and friends. Cannon deconstructs generalizations about Romanies/Gypsies/Travellers and various forms of representation by using non-dichotomous arguments, and provides insights into various nuances and variances in gender relations, including constellations of gender support systems. An analysis of the paratextual threshold reveals a continuum of historical and more contemporary connections and disconnections to the life story content, including a suggested counter-discourse formed between Cannon and her co-author that deconstructs static and stereotyped views of Romani/Gypsy/Traveller women.

维奥莱特·坎农的《吉普赛公主》中的交叉故事和性别支持系统：浪漫童年的真实故事

摘要:本文分析了维奥莱特·坎农的合作人生故事《吉普赛公主:一个罗姆人童年的真实故事》(2011)，从坎农的不同立场出发，分析了与可疑的跨文本表现的关系:一部备受批评的流行电视剧、她所属的群体、婚姻和离婚、家庭和朋友。坎农通过非二分法的论证解构了关于罗姆人/吉普赛人/流浪者的概括和各种形式的表现，并提供了对性别关系的各种细微差别和差异的见解，包括性别支持系统的星座。对双文本阈值的分析揭示了历史和当代生活故事内容的连接和断开的连续性，包括Cannon和她的合著者之间形成的一种反话语，这种话语解构了对罗姆人/吉普赛人/旅行者女性的静态和刻板印象。

期刊介绍： Founded in 1888, the Journal of the Gypsy Lore Society was published in four series up to 1982. In 2000, the journal became Romani Studies. On behalf of the Gypsy Lore Society, Romani Studies features articles on many different communities which, regardless of their origins and self-appellations in various languages, have been referred to in English as Gypsies. These communities include the descendants of migrants from the Indian subcontinent which have been considered as falling into three large subdivisions, Dom, Lom, and Rom. The field has also included communities of other origins which practice, or in the past have practiced, a specific type of service nomadism. The journal publishes articles in history, anthropology, ethnography, sociology, linguistics, art, literature, folklore and music, as well as reviews of books and audiovisual materials.
