Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação tem como objetivo uma descrição e compreensão da
comunidade cigana, nomeadamente quanto às questões de género e o papel das
mulheres no seio da comunidade. Num campo mais específico, analisar o seu quotidiano
e as suas perspetivas pessoais e da comunidade.
Em primeiro lugar, aprofundamos duas dinâmicas essenciais, como o género e
etnicidade, numa perspetiva neutra/imparcial em relação a este tema. Foram estudadas
diversas características do grupo, efetuada uma análise das relações familiares, como
essas são desenvolvidas e os papéis de género dentro da comunidade cigana.
Em seguida, foi selecionado o método mais adequado e promissor para esta
temática, que se tratou do método qualitativo, mais especificamente a entrevista
semiestruturada, com o objetivo de que as entrevistadas pudessem refletir as suas
perspetivas, opiniões, ideias sobre a temática.
Analisamos os resultados a partir do método selecionado e conseguimos obter
algumas conclusões. A principal conclusão deste estudo é que a tradição ainda tem uma
importância significativa nas mulheres ciganas, o que leva a um desenvolvimento
adaptativo mais lento em relação a sociedade no seu geral. Outra conclusão é que todas
as mulheres conseguem percecionar que já existe uma evolução significativa das
camadas mais jovens em relação a geração anterior, em diversos campos das suas vidas.
Tal como referimos na conclusão, é necessária a realização de um estudo mais
aprofundado, para se conseguir apurar de forma significativa os dados que foram aqui
explorados. Também seria importante para a sociedade em geral entender como se está
a adaptar e evoluir a comunidade cigana em Portugal.
The aim of this dissertation is to provide a description and gain an understanding of the Roma community, in particular regarding gender issues and the role of women within that community. More specifically, an analysis will be made of their day-to-day lives and their personal and community outlook. Firstly, two essential dynamics, gender and ethnicity, are explored from a neutral/impartial perspective in relation to this theme. A study was made of several characteristics of the group including family relationships and how they are developed, and gender roles within the Roma community were analysed. The most suitable and potentially fruitful method for the study of this topic was then selected. This was a qualitative method, more specifically semi-structured interviews, with the objective being that the interviewees could reflect upon their perspectives, opinions and ideas on the topic. An analysis was made of the results arising from this method and it was possible to draw some conclusions. The main conclusion of this study is that tradition still retains significant importance among Roma women, which implies slower adaptive development compared to society in general. Another conclusion is that all the women are aware that there is already significant evolution of the younger tiers in relation to the previous generation, in various fields of their lives. As stated in the conclusion, it is necessary to carry out a study in greater depth in order to gain significant insights from the data explored here. It would also be important for society in general to understand how the Roma community in Portugal is adapting and evolving.
