Abstract(s)
As imagens e representações sobre as pessoas ciganas em Portugal são estereotipadas e homogeneizantes. Contudo, há casos diferenciados de percursos de vida, vários tipos de famílias (casamentos endogâmicos e mistos), grupos de origem, culturas regionais ou modos de vida e de integração social. Partindo da diversidade de processos de socialização, de acordo com contextos sociais e familiares de pessoas ciganas, expressos em quadros de experiência de vida singulares, que se distinguem de outras pessoas ciganas, são apresentados projetos de vida afastados de imagens estereotipadas, usando como suporte resultados de uma investigação qualitativa, em que foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade, para conhecer modos de vida de pessoas ciganas, integradas no mercado de trabalho, questionando a ideia preconcebida de que os ciganos “não trabalham”, “vivem de subsídios” ou “são todos iguais”. Os resultados obtidos revelam percursos de vida e processos de integração social dinâmicos e plurais, expressos através de sentimentos de identificação e pluralidades sociais, culturais e identitárias que desafiam conceções estáticas sobre traços culturais e identidades ciganas.
Images and representations about Ciganos in Portugal are stereotyped and homogenizing. However, there are cases of different life paths, several types of families (endogamous and mixed marriages), groups of origin, regional cultures, ways of life and social integration. Starting from the diversity of socialization processes, according to social and family contexts of Cigano/Roma people, expressed in singular life experience frameworks, that distinguish themselves from other Cigano/Roma people, this presents life projects distanced from stereotyped images using as a support the results of a qualitative investigation, in which in-depth interviews were carried out, to know ways of life of Cigano/Roma people, integrated in the labor market, questioning the preconceived idea that Ciganos “do not work”, “live on subsidies” or that “They are all equal”. The results reveal several ways of life and dynamic social and plural integration processes, expressed through feelings of identification and social, cultural and identity pluralities that challenge static conceptions about Cigano cultural traits and identities.
