Kent, J. "Sound received : immersion, listening and anthropology." Thesis, Liverpool John Moores University, 2016. http://researchonline.ljmu.ac.uk/4049/.

Abstract:
Immerse yourself in a world of sound and approximations. This practice-­led research is concerned with critically examining the roots and contemporary significance of immersion within sonic art and everyday life. This body of work has resulted from research into key issues repositioning the term immersion outside the normal parameters of art investigating the intertwining relationship between immersion, listening and anthrophony. The research has been informed by the working methods of selected contemporary artists using field recordings within various interior environments. Rigorous listening to works has also influenced and driven this research forward to search for definitions of immersion. The author analyses the sonic works produced by reflecting on his own practice, with the thesis focused on the works produced rather than any alternative historical notion of sonic arts. The thesis critically examines a collection of works perceived as immersive in nature and secondly explores the interaction with personal sonorous environments. This thesis presents a series of informative and illuminating original interviews that have reinforced expanded elements of immersion presented in the examination of the practice-­led aspects of the work. These primary source interviews give a wide spectrum of opinions and experiences enabling the term and practices of immersion to be viewed outside the commonly viewed perceptions and practices that immersion evokes with artists’, audiences and individuals. Thirteen interviews with international artists’, curators and contemporary writers reflect on their personal experiences of immersion in art and critical methodological influences and practices. The interviews also discuss the contested adjectives that the term immersion evokes and the wider reaching impacts of the term beyond popular usages of the term. These essential interviewees include: Alan Dunn (multidisciplinary artist), BJ Nilsen (field recordist and sound artist), Budhaditya Chattopadhyay (researcher and sound artist), Chris Watson (field recordist and artist), Christine Sun Kim (sound artist), Daniela Cascella (curator, researcher and contemporary writer), David Hendy (researcher and contemporary writer), Francisco Lopez (sound artist), Hildegard Westerkamp (composer and sound ecologist), Markus Soukup (film and sound artist) Matthew Herbert (electronic musician), Ross Dalziel (Local Curator) and Sebastiane Hegarty (visual and sound artist). This primary research brings together, for the first time, a broad spectrum of experiences, opinions and views on immersion in sonic art and everyday life and re-­considers the challenges presented when examining this theme. An accompanying collection of artistic recordings using three distinct methods is also presented as an integrated part of the thesis. First, using mobile phones to record the author’s everyday travels, conversations and movements. Secondly, it utilises the habituated environments and the in/significance of each reverberation by presenting recordings using delicate contact microphones. The third method utilises the phenomenological and abstract memories from the author’s autobiographical past, reconstructing the distant but real recollections. These methods illuminate the author’s immersive resonating capsule of isolated existence including and portraying the fragmented and often distorted everyday sonorous experience. Sound Received: Immersion, Listening and Anthrophony generates alternative and renewed thinking on immersion, re-­definitions illuminating historical moments that have shaped much of the research. The unique collection of interviews and sonic recordings contributes to the expanding area of sonic discourse and offers a unique contribution to the field.

Full text
Abstract:
Through the imaginative literary genius of the Scottish author George MacDonald (1824-1905) an exploration of the Mystery of Man and his/her relationship with and to God is explored along the lines of Theological Anthropology. Myth and the literary genre of fantasy (which, like religion is moral in character and relies on relationships with supernatural forces) are explored as vehicles for transmitting and articulating deep truths about what it means to be human. Moral and spiritual growth are explored from psychological sources (Existential and Humanistic Schools of Psychology), and religious sources (Cambridge Platonists and Thomistic Theology) with the goal seen as the perfection of love --deification; And this understood as an irrevocable destiny for all rational creatures.

Full text
Abstract:
The central issued explored by this research is whether forensic anthropology can be characterized as being fundamentally different from academically-oriented biological anthropology. My view--and thesis statement--is that they are not two fundamentally-differing pursuits. While I recognize that important differences do exist between these fields, I argue that the differences are not sufficient to draw a stark line between academically-oriented biological anthropology and its medico-legal application. The principal source of data marshaled in support of this view is my dozen-plus years experience as a student. then practitioner, of forensic anthropology. One hundred forensic anthropology case reports of mine are utilized to illustrate an example of the product that forensic anthropologists routinely supply to medico-legal and governmental agencies. However, more important than this product are the processes behind the issuance of such reports. I argue that while the product may be different--a necessity because the intended audience certainly is--the conscientious forensic anthropologist employs the same analytical processes as when engaged in academic pursuits. Thus, it is my position that forensic anthropologists remain biological anthropologists while performing medico-legal services.

Carta, Silvio. "Documentary film, observational style and postmodern anthopology in Sardinia : a visual anthropology." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2012. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/3674/.

Full text
Abstract:
This study explores issues of technique, methodology and style in ethnographic/documentary films, with a focus on Sardinia. How are cultural realities constructed in documentary and ethnographic films? In what ways do practical filmmaking strategies reflect wider epistemological questions and ethical concerns? The thesis examines the general stylistic principles that have guided the making of a substantial body of documentary films about Sardinia. Attention has been paid to a range of different methods used by a select number of documentary and ethnographic filmmakers, covering important theoretical points on the distinctive set of technical, aesthetic and ethical problems embodied in the epistemology of their filmmaking practice. The study concludes that scholars should look for a more balanced fusion between film as a multisensory medium of ideas and forms of ethnographic enquiry conducted through language. The nonverbal elements and visual imagery in ethnographic/documentary films suggest obliquely that a kind of knowledge expressed in the concrete case requires an acknowledgment of domains of experience that often elude written expression.

Aniballi, Francesca. "Towards an anthropology of literature : the magic of hybrid fictions." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2013. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/4306/.

Full text
Abstract:
Anthropology and literary criticism can interact fruitfully in the investigation of theoretical, general and specific issues concerning literature. Anthropological concepts of magic and ritual are useful to account for those fictions which defy neat labels and sit at the crossroad between the fantastic and the mimetic impulses. Furthermore, the reading process of such fictions can be interpreted as a liminal experience, whereby the reader’s consciousness is ritualized. Adopting a phenomenological stance and a socio-anthropological methodology, the thesis presents the author’s auto-ethnography of reading, also integrating the latest findings of cognitive linguistics and psychology of fiction into the theoretical reflection. Other conceptual tools, such as ideas concerning performative language, the hero quest and epiphany, metaphor and symbolism, are elaborated in order to illustrate the reading of ‘hybrid’ fictions, and how the reader is actively involved in the process. Moreover, three sample novels are analysed in the light of concepts of magic from a thematic and structural point of view, as texts which posit the issue of the de-reification of the real and of the imagination itself as a critique of the discourses of modernity. Overall the thesis supports an ecological view of the (literary) imagination, conceived as a relational process whereby nature and culture are seen as co-extensive and not in opposition to each other.

Wingfield, Chris. "The moving objects of the London Missionary Society : an experiment in symmetrical anthropology." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2012. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/3437/.

Full text
Abstract:
An experimental attempt to consider the history of the London Missionary Society (LMS) from the lens of the artefacts that accumulated at its London headquarters, which included a museum from 1814 until 1910. The movement of these things through space and over time offers a rich perspective for considering the impacts on Britain of its history of overseas missionary activity. Building on anthropological debates about exchange, material culture, and the agency of things, the biographies of particular objects are explored in relation to the processes involved in the assemblage, circulation and dispersal of the LMS collection. Methodologically, the research is an attempt to develop what Latour has called a symmetrical anthropology, with archaeological approaches to the material products of historical processes as an important dimension of this. Drawing on attempts to study ‘along the grain’ in historical anthropology, and to move beyond iconoclasm as a critical stance, it is argued that museums should be understood as ‘other places’ in which objects are made by techniques of inscription and confinement which have a significant ceremonial dimension. At the same time, certain charismatic objects are shown to have transcended these contexts of confinement, affecting those they encounter, and shaping history around themselves.

Drury, Elizabeth Childs. "Beyond socialization, tolerance, and cultural intelligence| Sustainable cultural concern among evangelical homeschoolers." Thesis, Biola University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3617406.

Full text
Abstract:

This qualitative study not only describes the intercultural capacities of 20 high-achieving, homeschooled, evangelical university students from diverse backgrounds, but also far surpasses this original aim by generating a new model that critiques and complements cultural intelligence theory (CQ). Debate regarding tolerance among homeschoolers has lacked adequate study because the right questions have been obscured by terminology too broad (socialization) and impossibly loaded (tolerance). This constructivist, grounded-theory study thus addresses the question through intercultural lenses.

Chapter 2 reviews literature to propose a Process-Outcome Model of Socialization, a 10-pair categorization of critics' concerns, and introduces a reconceptualization of Perry's (1970) scheme of epistemological development for a faith-based university. Chapter 3 describes data-collection. In Southern California, strategies include participant observation, interview, focus-group, narrative, written reflection about Emerson & Smith's (2000) Divided by Faith, and case study response. In metropolitan DC, shorter measures confirm theoretical saturation. Chapter 4 presents 20 participants' intercultural journeys. Chapter 5 traces cognition. Chapter 6 outlines motivation, describing intercultural self-efficacy, initiative, and perceived value. Chapter 7 offers evidence of metacognition. Chapter 8 provides the missing piece—concern—as the connector of knowledge and desire, showing that the most intense reflection and regulation operate based on higher commitments (metaphysical, existential, and ethical).

Chapter 9 integrates core categories to present two new models. One shows the complementarity of CQ and concern. The other unites them as Sustainable Cultural Concern (SCC), a model explaining why some people grow in intercultural capacities while others do not. Three assertions underlie these models: a) concern is a meta-commitment that differs from motivation; b) CQ and border-crossing concern cooperate to sustain growth; c) a culturally-concerned person seeks to wed knowledge and desire according to concern. Though most participants display sustainable cultural concern, unconcerned outliers strongly suggest that homeschoolers and organizations should intentionally cultivate it.

Methodologically, the models correct inconsistencies regarding homeschooling socialization and challenge the prevalence of quantitative studies. Theoretically, they highlight ambiguity and overlap in CQ domains and the disproportionate scope of metacognition. Practically, they guide personal evaluation of intercultural engagement and growth in perception (honor), understanding (humility), regulation (integrity), and volition (faithfulness).

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis analyzes the prevailing formats of writing in sociology or anthropology that are considered scientific. For whom are sociology and anthropology texts written, and who are the readers of these texts? How does this format of writing that constitutes a text as scientific influence the text-reader relationship? In discussing this, the legitimate ways of writing of sociology and anthropology are presented together with what scientificity brings. the reflexive critique that looks at sociology and anthropology with the very methods of these disciplines is explained in its main lines. within this debate, the importance of the question "
whom the texts produced in these sciences are intended for?"
is analyzed. This is followed by a discussion of the conditions that enabled the constitution of the conventional forms of expression in sciences. The concept of paradigm as proposed by Thomas Kuhn is used to explain the formation of these conditions.

Sumegi, Angela. "Dreams of wonder, dreams of deception: Tension and resolution between Buddhism and shamanism in Tibetan culture." Thesis, University of Ottawa (Canada), 2003. http://hdl.handle.net/10393/28969.

Full text
Abstract:
This study explores the nature of dreams and dreaming in shamanism and Buddhism. It focuses on the specific case of Tibet where the indigenous layer of religious beliefs and practices has been dominated by Buddhism but continues to emerge as a vital presence in the religious world-view of Tibet. The three major divisions in this study are concerned with (1) the shamanic world-view and attitude towards dream, (2) the ancient Indian world-view and the Buddhist approach to dream, and (3) the use and meaning of dreams and dreaming in Tibetan culture. With regard to Tibetan attitudes to dream, it will be shown that conflicting statements and views expressing, on the one hand, the value of dream as a vehicle of prophecy and knowledge and, on the other, dismissing the world of dream as the ultra-illusions of an illusory world were present in the Indian Buddhist tradition that entered Tibet. However, in the Tibetan context, dream comes to play a heightened role in Buddhist religious life as a method of authenticating spiritual status and as a path to liberation. The Tibetan attitude toward dream is shown to encompass earlier contradictions, but also to involve an additional tension arising out of the Buddhist competition with, and eventual hegemony over, indigenous religious systems that also use dream to transmit and validate knowledge and religious power. These tensions are reflected in conflicting statements over dream that appear in Tibetan literature. Resolution and harmony, however, are possible because of a concept of interdependency and interconnectedness that is fundamental to both shamanism and Buddhism. I have proposed that the conflicting views on dream in Tibetan literature reflect a much more complex situation than is expressed in assigning the differing views to the categories of 'popular' and 'elite', and I have provided an alternate model for understanding the contradictory attitudes to dream in Tibetan Buddhism.

Abstract:
Political and social transformations have led to changes in lexical systems of national languages, which respond vividly to the emergent needs of society. The loss by special lexical units (terms) of their terminological exclusiveness, and their transition into the sphere of general use, indicates human involvement in economic, political, social, and other spheres, and the human dependence on current processes. Owing to a constant and continuous exchange between language for general purposes and language for specific purposes, and one which is bidirectional, the transition of word combinations and phraseological units into the sphere of special use has culminated in a process of determinism. Here, terminological units, for instance, LSP units, have begun to become widely used in language for general purposes. The active penetration of phraseology into the professional sphere of communication has encouraged linguists to conduct respective work in this field. One such aspect of phraseological unit study is their functioning in professional spheres, whereby scientists widely consider and discuss the problem of origin and use of term-phraseological units. Considering the complex nature of phraseological phrases and the fact that, initially, these units belong to general literary language, these units have been labelled term-phraseological units, as they are used in a terminological context, and thus form a second, terminological meaning. Such a phenomenon emerges from the generality of laws, and the functioning of terminological and commonly used vocabulary, yet also by the desire to identify word-forming features of terminology. Therefore, we see a need to discuss the theoretical underpinnings of semantic processes that underlie the formation of terminological meaning in phraseological units, the identification of semantic-nominative features of phraseological terms, and their differences to phraseological units of language for general purposes. The paper focuses on the complexity of the mutual penetration and influence of terminological and phraseological systems of the English language. The paper reveals the current patterns in viewing language units across various fields of knowledge, and evidences the fact that insurance terms are gaining higher social significance, more so as a greater number of people are involving themselves in this field of activity.

Abstract:
The article discusses the textual features of advertising. Recently, along with the continuing interest in advertising practice, more and more attention has been paid to the theoretical aspects of advertising, through fields such as linguistics, psychology, sociology, psycho and sociolinguistics, semiotics, cultural studies, and art history. This article presents a theoretical interpretation of advertising discourse in modern Uzbekistan. I consider the linguistic aspect, and the concept of a text as topical issues. The theoretical basis of the research is work on the theory of discourse and communicative interaction, and work that justifies an anthropocentric approach to a language in general and its categories in particular.

Full text
Abstract:
Memory forms through visual and auditory perception and experience. Yet, memory studies frequently note that past traumas influence memory and the shaping of memory. Here, studies on past suffering influence the field of memory studies. For example, Huyssen notes that the narratives concerning past trauma not only transfer this past pain but also build memory which will emerge in the future (2018). At the present time, the creation of narratives is increasingly shifting away from large institutions, where short story pieces are gaining a place in general media through their formation as micronarratives, thus structuring contemporary communication. Such is the case with puppet theatre and its narratives. For example, in Turkey, one popular current puppet theatre narrative is the journey of the puppet Amal, the Syrian girl protagonist in a puppet play created by the Good Chance Theatre. Within the narrative, Amal begins her journey in Gaziantep, a city in southern Turkey near the Turkish-Syrian border, and reaches the large city of Izmir, in Turkey, as a final destination. This study was carried out in Izmir, which is the last stop of Amal in Turkey. Before leaving Turkey, there were several activities held, and refugee children and Turkish children came together with Amal in those events. They played some games together to contribute to Amal's Izmir Diary – (Izmir Art, July 6, 2022). In the research, focus groups and in-depth interviews were realized with the children who participated in these events. By analysing the interviews, the effect of Amal’s walking performance on Syrian children will be revealed by keeping in the mind the key phrase ‘forming the memory’ and micronarrative.

Full text
Abstract:
In this article, we analyze the possibility of employing short Russian folklore examples of chastushka during the development of second language identities of philology students studying Russian as a foreign language. As observed, studying folklore texts in a foreign language environment contributes to the enhancing of the level of ethnolinguistic competence, which is important for understanding a different (Russian) mentality. An effective example of such texts may be the chastushka genre, as one of the few that actively develops through the deployment of various factors. Among its main characteristics, it includes a set of rules and norms of behavior, and a collective assessment of what is happening, and demonstrates the symbolic content of general cultural mores. This article draws on a model of linguistic identity presented by Yu. N. Karaulov. The model comprises three levels. The most interesting of these three levels, in the case of this study, is the psycholinguistic (linguo-cognitive) level, the units of which are perceptions, ideas, and concepts. We also discuss a model of secondary linguistic personality, firstly attributable to Khaleeva in the 1990s. This model is significant in its practicality for teaching foreign languages. This paper also presents the components of the term ‘folk concept,’ for which, we pay particular attention to the figurative and evaluative components, since the conceptual component is itself relatively stable. We also conduct a comparative analysis of the symbolic content of lexemes of linguistic and cultural significance. The semantic complexity of the folklore texts and their linguistic and methodological potential when working with foreign students must be and are considered when conducting such a study, along with the possibility of applying obtained results when working with literary texts, thus facilitating the attainment of a deeper understanding of literary images and symbols as additional learning material. The results of this work may be used in practical pedagogical contexts of the Russian language, as well as in courses in ethnolinguistics and folklore.

Abstract:
This paper explains in a de-westernized sense (Gunaratne, 2010) how internet-mediated communication changes the way we deal with and plan time both individually and culturally in Germany and China. Therefore, it blends Western and Eastern culture and media theories. The paper focuses on two distinct phenomena: temporal change due to social media, and Online journalism, as the core of Internet-mediated communication (for Germany 39% communication, media use 24% Projektgruppe ARD/ZDF-Multimedia, 2016; for China 90.7% instant messaging, 82% Internet news China Internet Network Information Center, 2017), with other temporal change via smart devices touched upon (Ash, 2018). General research on time in post modern societies, recently more focused on media’s temporal change phenomena (e.g. Barker, 2012; Barker, 2018; Castells, 2010; Eriksen, 2001; Hartmann, 2016; Hassan, 2003; Innis, 2004; Neverla, 2010a, 2010b; Nowotny, 1995; Rantanen, 2005; Wajcman, 2010; Wajcman and Dodd) has not yet linked the different societal and cultural levels of temporal change. Thus, we suggest the following to fill this research gap: For a micro perspective the notions of network theories (e.g. Granovetter, 1973; Schönhuth, 2013), media synchronicity (Dennis, Fuller, and Valacich, 2008) and the idea of permanent connectivity (Sonnentag, Reinecke, Mata, and Vorderer, 2018; van Dijck, 2013; Vorderer, Krömer, and Schneider, 2016) are linked. On a meso level, institutional change in Online journalism with a focus on acceleration is modeled (Ananny, 2016; Bødker and Sonnevend, 2017; Dimmick, Feaster, and Hoplamazian, 2011; Krüger, 2014; Neuberger, 2010). On a macro level, mediatization theory (Couldry and Hepp, 2017; Krotz, 2001, 2012) and recent acceleration theory (Rosa, 2005, 2012, 2017) is discussed. The levels are systematically linked suggesting a micro-meso-macro-link (Quandt, 2010) to then ask if and how many of the dimensions of the construct temporal understanding (Faust, 2016) can be changed through Internet-mediated communication. Temporal understanding consists of nine dimensions: General past, general future, instrumental experience (monochronicity), fatalism, interacting experience (polychronicity), pace of life, future as planned expectation and result of proximal goals as well as future as trust based interacting expectation and result of present positive behavior. Temporal understanding integrates the anthropological construct of polychronicity (Bluedorn, Kalliath, Strube, and Martin, 1999; Hall, 1984; Lindquist and Kaufman-Scarborough, 2007), pace of life (Levine, 1998) and temporal horizon (Klapproth, 2011) into a broader framework which goes beyond Western biased constructs through the theory driven incorporation of Confucian notions (Chinese Culture Connection, 1987). Finally, meta trends are laid out.

Abstract:
Language is planned, and plans themselves arer assessed in a multitude of countries in Europe and America, and to a lesser extent in Africa and Asia. In the presentation, the overview of the process of language planning is provided, based on the experience of language planning in various countries. The very first steps include a general assessment of the current linguistic and sociolinguistic situation, sustainability of the language(-s) concerned, trends, security aspects and various threats (social, regional, virtual), vision or desirable outcome with the description of main goals and sub-goals (with measurable quantitative data), activities and sub-activities with specific indicators measuring outcome, result or activity itself. The main motor of the whole process is status planning with legal, managerial, and PR-level (language marketing). For this planning to succeed, timely input from other language planning dimensions is necessary, first of all, from the corpus planning (general orthographic and grammatical standardization, geographical, business and personal name policies, terminology development and development of the domain of translation and interpreting, subtitling and dubbing). These standards are implemented in the educational system, providing education through various monolingual or multilingual educational programmes / models. Language technology as a support dimension must be developed in the level of a minimal survival kit, securing competitiveness in this way. Finally some typical misunderstandings and mistakes, drawbacks and failures are discussed that might help future language planners and thus, foster better results.

Abstract:
The Javanese language has, as of late, seen a flux in its revival. The Javanese government sees the revival of Javanese as a very necessary identity marker, as a reflexive stance to transnationalism. Here, various sectors of Javenese society are contributing to the revival of the language, such as the arts, poltics, commerce, and domestic environments. The paper seeks to document Javanese in various sectors, buy observing its use in the above sectors, and elsewhere. The study observes the engineering of this language revival, and from which, the ideologies of Javanese are extrapolated, so as to expose anthropological patterns. The study thus contributes to work on language revitalization, linguistic landscapes, language ideologies and linguistic anthropology in general.

Abstract:
The remote region of Rijal Alma in Southwestern Saudi Arabia, very near to the Yemeni border, and between the city of Abha and the Red Sea, had, until recently, avoided significant contact with the outside, owing to the physical impossibility of reaching the region from the outside. As such, the residents of the villages throughout Rijal Alma, who very rarely were able to interact with populations from other regions, could retain language forms that had existed and developed reclusively for over close to two millennia. With the advent of new technologies in the latter part of the twentieth century, human, cultural, and language contact with the region was becoming possible, thus exposing the goings on internal to Rijal Alma, and reflexively providing locals to the region with new perspectives on the patterns that have existed in the local variety and language for several millennia, that is, prior to language contact. The presentation focuses on the locative form of language in Rijal Alma, as one specific to the region. This locative form omits the use of shifters (Silverstein) and replaces these with geographical and body objects, such as tree, door arch, my neck, and the names of people, when providing directions, or in the use of imperatives for movement. The ethnography of Rijal Alma, documenting language, cultural processes, and power dynamics, spanned approximately three years, during which, I resided in the region, and interacted with a number of informants, families, agrarian workers, and so forth. Such an agrarian lifestyle is still ingrained in the general lifeworlds of inhabitants of Rijal Alma, and in which they take much pride. In addition to this, many proverbs and idioms occur in their cultural systems. The data over three years comprises a strong corpus of language not documented prior, and describes processes between members in their social and cultural interactions, in the general daily sociopolitics, and in their simple interactions, such as locatives, which I presented in this paper.

Abstract:
The October Revolution and the subsequent creation of the USSR, located on a vast area in Eurasia, was a spectacular historical attempt to create a ‘new society,’ characterised by radical changes in all social and cultural spheres, as well as the creation of new, Soviet symbolisms. This general historical context reflected on all spheres of life, including the state policy towards the Gypsies (labelled today as Roma), which was particularly active in the 1920s and 1930s. The name ‘Gypsies,’ which was used at that time, is more appropriate in our case, because in this general category, in addition to Roma (living scattered throughout the USSR), several other communities either did not identify as Roma or were not Roma by origin (Dom and Lom in the South Caucasus region, and the Lyuli or Jugi in Central Asia), but all shared Indian origin. Soviet policy towards the Gypsies had various dimensions, including codification of the Romani language, creation of Gypsy national literature and of a Gypsy national theater, Gypsy schools, Gypsy collective farms, and artisan’s artels. Along with this, new public images and symbolisms related to the Gypsies were created, and were presented in various forms in the USSR itself and broadcast to the West for propaganda. The new Soviet Gypsy symbolisms, were, using Stalin’s popular formulation of Soviet literature as an analogy, ‘national in form and socialist in content.’ Based on this formulation, the two main directions in which these images and symbols were developed and popularised were determined – firstly, based on the ancient social and cultural traditions of the Gypsies, and, secondly, in the presentation of the new, socialist dimensions which were occurring in their lives. In the synopsis, we will analyse examples of public images and symbols, distributed through various channels – photographs in the press (Gypsy and mainstream), the layout and illustrations of books, posters, stage plays, movies, etc. – covering both indicated directions. At the same time, we reveal how this new symbolism affected the Gypsy community and Soviet society as a whole, as well as a wider dimension, outside the USSR, including that of the present-day. Part of this symbolism (of the first type) is presently used, in a modified form, in digital spaces, mostly by various Roma organisations worldwide creating a new virtual world of Pan-Roma unity.
