Representation: The Deconstructive Shift of the Romani Movements with Maria Bogdan
Dienstag 21. November
Einlass ab 16:00 Uhr
Humboldt-Universität: Unter den Linden 6, Berlin. Hauptgebäude Hörsaal 1072.

Englisch mit deutscher Übersetzung und schriftlicher DolmetschungComing from the field of media and communication a part of my research has been focusing on the (transnational) Romani movements in the age of social media and their ways to deconstruct the position of the Romani communities in Europe from the stranger to the recognized equal citizen. The cultural field has become the most important field of the movement: researching the European Roma history has become one of the main focuses, through some major organizing theories and unifying concepts such as resistance, belonging, and resilience. In my presentation, with the help of some artwork made by Romani artists, I will focus on the concept of belonging and attempt to describe what the struggle for the freedom of identity means for the Roma communities in the everyday life of Europe.
Dr. Maria Bogdan is a media theorist and a social scientist. Her main research interest is related to media representation of Roma, racism, cultural memory, and cultural trauma. She received her Ph.D. from the Film, Media, and Culture Theory Doctoral Program of the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest (2018). She was the first Romani Rose Postdoctoral Researcher fellow at the Antigypsyism Research Center of Heidelberg University (2019-2020). From the fall of 2023, she is a Fortunoff Fellow of the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies where she is conducting research on testimonies in the Fortunoff Video Archive (FVA) related to the Sinti and Roma experience. She is a founding member and managing editor of the Critical Romani Studies journal. She is a Fulbright Alumna and has done part of her Ph.D. research at Columbia University. She is the Chair of the Barvalipe Academy at the European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture.
