Homosexuality in Slovakian Romani Settlement
Project goals
The aim of this research project is to reflect homosexuality in Romani settlements in Slovakia. During the 1960s-1980s social sciences have shifted in opinion about homosexuality. This transformation is possible to summarize in two basic points. Within the first point homosexuality as a subject of social science has shifted from position of social deviance to the view of social exclusion and institutionalization in different discursive areas, historical periods, and cultural settings. The second point is still more important by the description of homosexual networking, which moves from urban to rural areas. This transformation of homosexuality as object of social sciences has essential consequences for the aim of the research project, especially actor´s point of view through the coming out stories and the ways partners´ distribution in rural areas. The actor´s point of view about homosexuality in the case of Romani settlement has not been recorded yet. The research project will focus on the ways of actor´s understanding to homosexuality, and on the problems which homosexual actors have to solve in the context of Romani settlement. Next topic of research project will be Romani sexuality and which sources homosexual actors use in the process of partners´ distribution.
