The current social policy of the City of Prague towards the Roma, its forms and objectives
Peterková, Kornélie ; Hajská, Markéta (advisor) ; Ort, Jan (referee)
The present bachelor thesis focuses on the structure of policies towards Roma within the capital city of Prague. It tries to describe and map its forms, including all relevant actors, activities and subsidy titles. Policies on the territory of the HMP are mainly implemented by the HMP Municipality, municipal districts and non-profit organisations, which are the focus of the paper. Roma in the Czech Republic are discriminated against in social, cultural and political spheres. Through a basic analysis of strategic documents, the form of subsidy titles, the structure of support and interviews with the actors concerned, this thesis seeks to answer to what extent policies towards Roma address these types of exclusion. The thesis aims to investigate what are the objectives of policies towards Roma in the capital city of Prague. It highlights that a significant part of these initiatives focuses only on Roma individuals who are at risk of social exclusion and are implemented through social policy. On the contrary, it neglects the political and cultural exclusion of Roma from the public space. Within the policy structure, the thesis attempts to seek a Roma perspective. It tries to answer the question to what extent Roma participation in the policy system is possible and realistic. Keywords: Roma, social...

Roma Agents of the "Gypsy Question". Belonging, Mobility, and Resettlement Policy in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s.
Ort, Jan ; Sadílková, Helena (advisor) ; Yasar, Abu Ghosh (referee) ; Baloun, Pavel (referee)
The thesis focuses on the practice of resettlement policy in the 1960s in Czechoslovakia, which targeted the population referred to as 'gypsies'. This policy, also known as the policy of 'dispersal', has often been described in historical and Romani studies literature as one of the symbols of the communist regime's violence against the Roma, which was to lead to the disruption of their cultural identity and the disruption of established socio-economic structures. Paradoxically, the practice of this policy has been described very marginally. The aim of this paper is to fill this gap, to take the monitoring of this policy out of a strongly evaluative interpretive framework, and at the same time to shift the emphasis from the perspective of the state and its authorities to the agency of the Roma themselves. In the introduction of my thesis, I provide a basic characterization and contextualization of resettlement policy while summarizing the existing literature related to it. In the first chapter, I present the theoretical and methodological background of the whole thesis. Here I acknowledge the microhistorical approach and the inspiration in the discipline of anthropology in general. In doing so, I specifically discuss these approaches in relation to the possibilities of studying 'Romani histories'....

Its subject definition is the observation of the daily based lived experiences of Romani university students, I have taken Frantz Fanon's publication, Black Skin, White Masks, as the theoretical and methodological framework for this thesis.

Mobility of Roms in the context of local relations. Case study from eastern Slovakia, Svidník region.
Ort, Jan ; Sadílková, Helena (advisor) ; Uherek, Zdeněk (referee)
The thesis is based on a long term ethnographic field research, that has been conducted by this work's author in one of the villages within the district of Svidník, Eastern- Slovakia. The work's fundamental frame of topic are the relations between the Roms and non-Roms in the observed village, with main focus put on the actor's perspective of the local Roms. The nature of such relations is observed both synchronuously and diachronously, and foremost in respect of two types of an areal mobility, that at the same time has the potential of a social-economic mobility. The first observed type is the flow of the Roms from the romani village to a non-Roms part of the village, or the surrounding villages; the second is the cross-border migration. At the same time the thesis addresses the relations within the observed Romani community whose internal social diferentiation is partially influenced by the very - successfully or unsuccessfully - implemented mobility. To hold a wider grip of the local relations, the author uses the texts of the Romani-studies expert, Milena Hübschmannová, other related case studies coming from the region of eastern Slovakia, and, paralelly, also the concepts of the postcolonial thinking with emphasis to Frantz Fanon's work. It is his very work that has provided the frame to...
