Tomorrow at the 2025 Annual Meeting of the Gypsy Lore Society and Conference on Romani Studies (in Paris-Aubervilliers):

@tommasovitale.bsky.social will give a keynote lecture based on results of the @cncdh.fr annual barometer on racism. ⤵️

Programme of the conference: www.inalco.fr/en/events/co...
Annual Meeting of the Gypsy Lore Society and Conference on Romani Studies, Paris 2025 24-25-26 September 2025 Campus Condorcet (Aubervilliers) Organisers: The Gypsy Lore Society, Inalco, Institut Convergences Migrations, FNASAT, Médiathèque Matéo Maximoff VITALE Tommaso Living with Antigypsyism: Contentious Embeddedness and the Struggle for Recognition in France This keynote explores how antigypsyism structures social life in France, not only as prejudice but as a condition of living marked by stigma, contentious embeddedness, and dissonant recognition. Drawing on the CNCDH barometer, I show that hostility towards Roma and Traveller groups remains structurally higher than towards any other minority, sustaining a perception of radical otherness. Yet antigypsyism is more than a statistical pattern: it is reproduced and contested through public discourse, political agendas, media campaigns, and everyday encounters. Ethnographic and network studies reveal that Roma lives are deeply interwoven with neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and associations, where solidarity, hostility, and indifference coexist in fragile balance. Mobilizations—whether civic, religious, or school-based—demonstrate both the limits of inclusion and the generative role of conflict in reshaping boundaries and claims to dignity. At the same time, the emerging struggle over the memory of the Roma genocide illustrates how recognition unfolds in dissonant ways, simultaneously denied, affirmed, and politicized. Antigypsyism, I argue, is not a fixed legacy but a dynamic and contested process: it exposes the contradictions of plural democracy, while opening unexpected spaces for solidarity and new forms of recognition.
