PERCEPŢIA TRADIŢIEI LA NEAMURILE DE GABORI. CÂTEVA CONSIDERAŢII
ON PERCEPTION OF TRADITIONS IN THE CASE OF YENISH. SOME NOTES

Summary/Abstract: The present work draws some lines concerning the vision the Yenish Romani have on the concept of Tradition, as an ensemble of imprescriptible behaviours that ensured and still do an unalterated existence, since time immemorial, according to the ancestors’ principles. Tradition is not in the case of Yenish a passive patrimonialization of material and spiritual cultural elements, but a set of active and articulated practices to normalize the raports between age and gender categories. Within a world exclusively directed toward future and individualism, the Yenish’s values speak about past and collectivity, about tradition and the reference points it can offer, living and living-together models, and solutions in managering the various problems the community metabolism can generate.
