Abstract

The nomadic behavior of Roma people has allowed their cultural interaction with peoplefrom different continents. Brazil has received Roma immigrants since its colonization, and there are currently more than 800,000 Roma people among the Brazilian population. This article describes the ethnobotanical knowledge of two Calon families (Alves and Dantas) established in hinterland cities of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil. The survey was conducted with 23 informants (≥ 40 years old, 85% of the target audience) selected through the snowball technique and using semi-structured interviews. The plants mentioned were collected, identified and deposited in the IPA and UFP herbaria. The 157 species (85 native) are used for food, condiment, cosmetic, medicinal, ritualistic, technological, veterinary, and other purposes. The useful flora and forms of use are similar to those reported by non-Roma communities living in the same region, showing a kind of mimicry adopted by the Roma people, yet maintaining their cultural identity.

民族植物学作为研究罗姆人文化模仿的参数

罗姆人的游牧行为使他们能够与来自不同大陆的人进行文化交流。巴西自殖民以来就接收了罗姆移民，目前巴西人口中有80多万罗姆人。本文描述了在巴西东北部伯南布哥内陆城市建立的两个Calon家族(Alves和Dantas)的民族植物学知识。调查采用滚雪球法和半结构化访谈法，选取了23名调查对象(年龄≥40岁，占目标受众的85%)。所提到的植物是在IPA和UFP植物标本室中收集、鉴定和保存的。157种(85种本地)用于食品、调味品、化妆品、医药、仪式、技术、兽医和其他用途。有用的植物群和使用形式与居住在同一地区的非罗姆人社区所报告的相似，显示出罗姆人采用的一种模仿，但保持了他们的文化特性。
