3rd FTF workshop “Netzwerken”, Leipzig, April 23 – 25, 2010
The forum on Romani/Gypsy studies (FTF) invites all (junior) researchers
and interested people, who have to do with Gypsy cultures, to some
“networking” in Leipzig.
Interdisciplinary exchange and networking between researchers, who deal
with gypsy cultures on a regional or a topic-oriented basis, are central
to the meeting.
In this respect, the main interest lies in lectures related to
ethnology, regional sciences, history, linguistics and sociology.
We would like to especially encourage those students or graduates to
contribute to the meeting, whose final papers were or will be linked to
the field of Romani/Gypsy studies.
The main focus of this year’s workshop is on the following topics:
a) South America
b) Gypsy groups in the Orient and around its fringes
c) “polictical” Romani/Gypsy studies
d) Sinti, Yeniche and other groups in Europe beyond the Romani discourse
e) historical and enthno-historical Romani/Gypsy studies
All other topics, which are proposed during the preparation of the
workshop by people interested in taking part in the workshop, will form
separate subject areas.
The language of the workshop is German.
However, lectures can also be held in English, French, Spanish, Arabic,
Persian or Romani.
After the events and the common dinners, the days are rounded off in a
relaxed atmosphere with the latest musical or cinematic contributions.
The participation fee is about €10 (without liability). Travel expenses
will not be compensated. In special cases of hardship, people with
financial difficulties can be supported by the University of Leipzig or
the student council.
For the duration of the workshop, it is possible for participants to
stay with other participants living in Leipzig.
Participants who would like to give a short presentation on their work
or give a theoretical and methodical, a practice oriented or any other
lecture, are asked to hand in a summary of not more than one page by
February 21st, 2010.
All other participants can register for the workshop and name their
field of interest until March 28th, 2010.
Registrations for the workshop and questions are to be sent to:
ftf(at)uni-leipzig.de
