Abstract

Abstract:The article deals with the notion of purity and its relation to Good Citizenship and the development of Roma policies in Sweden during the twentieth century. The case of the differentiation between "zigenare" and "tattare" is presented as an example of how ideas about purity informed processes of categorization, inclusion, and exclusion during the formative and expansive years of the Swedish welfare state. The medical sciences had a dominant role in these processes. Examining and defining "pure zigenare" was one of the ways in which experts would differentiate between legitimate and illegitimate Romanies– or Tolerated and Failed Citizens–in the post-war period. These differentiations had real and lasting consequences as they worked to support certain Romani groups while ignoring others, all of which are today included in the Swedish national Roma minority.

重新审视“纯粹的吉普赛人”：瑞典罗姆人群体的公民身份建构，1940年代至1960年代

摘要：本文论述了纯洁的概念及其与良好公民身份的关系，以及二十世纪瑞典罗姆人政策的发展。“zigenare”和“tattare”之间的区别是一个例子，说明在瑞典福利国家形成和扩张的岁月里，关于纯洁的思想如何影响分类、包容和排斥的过程。医学在这些过程中发挥了主导作用。在战后时期，研究和定义“纯粹的zigenare”是专家们区分合法和非法罗姆人——或宽容和失败的公民——的方法之一。这些差异产生了真实而持久的后果，因为它们努力支持某些罗姆人群体，而忽视了其他群体，所有这些群体今天都属于瑞典罗姆少数民族。

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.
