This paper explores the meaning of nomadism in the Romani culture by considering how this practice has been represented in the sociocultural imaginary. In particular, the paper analyzes the depiction of nomadism in the ethnopolitical discourse and the literary field, both in oral tradition and in written texts. The analysis examines works authored by representative Romani writers, such as Bronislawa Wajs "Papusza", Mateo Maximoff, Menyhért Lakatos or José Heredia Maya, among others. Finally, the paper considers how in the literary text, the image of nomadism is produced and consumed as a mark of ethnic authenticity.

La metodologia utilizada procede de los estudios sociologicos y culturales de Pierre Bourdieu, Mijail Bajtin y otros teoricos afines. La Tesis consta de los siguientes capitulos: 1,- Introduccion y deslindes metodologicos: definicion de los conceptos y terminologia utilizados. 2,- Contexto historico-social: a la luz de las teorias de Bourdieu se identifican los hechos historicos que marcaron la promocion estudiada.

Departing from the existence of a common Romani ethos, the analysis focuses on how these literary works shape a transnational/diasporic literature by representing the specificities of the Romani history —in particular the recollection of traumatic collective experiences— through a number of narrative strategies, such as self-representation or the depiction of cultural memory.

On the one hand, they are no longer objects of representation, but subjects and agents themselves. The representation of the Romani subject is legitimated in recent literary works by the fact that is enunciated from the very experience of being Rom, contesting any previous hegemonic representations. This new narrative emerges from Romani subjectivities and experiences, providing new perspectives on their identity. At the same time, these texts develop an ethnic discourse that considers issues related to their history, collective memory, rights and culture. Therefore, what I argue is that the emergence of the Hispano-Romani written literature is part of the ethno-political Romani movement, and contributes to the on-going formation of ethnicity, which adjusts and changes over time.

A partir de 2011, tras el movimiento político 15M, la crítica ha iniciado un tímido proceso de recuperación y revalorización de prácticas culturales que han sido consideradas de mal gusto o marginales en virtud del origen social de sus artífices y de su audiencia. La rumba suburbana de Los Chichos y Estopa es un ejemplo de cómo prácticas musicales de gran impacto y repercusión social han quedado relegadas en la reconstrucción de la memoria cultural e histórica de la España postfranquista. Este artículo documenta la falta de reconocimiento que la rumba suburbana ha recibido para reflexionar después, a través del análisis de la letra de temas representativos de los grupos antes mencionados, sobre el imaginario y la experiencia de la clase obrera.
ABSTRACT: The working-class cultural production has received little recognition in Spain, whose society places artistic practices in the domain of the middle and upper classes. After the 15M movement in 2011, cultural criticism has slowly started to retrace and value practices that had been previously considered tacky or marginal due to their blue-collar origins and audience. The suburban rumba of Los Chichos and Estopa is a clear example of how musical practices of extensive social impact have been left out of the historic and cultural reconstruction in post-Franco Spain. In this article we document the lack of recognition that suburban rumba has endured in order to analyse, through representative lyrics of the two abovementioned groups, how it represents the working-class values and experiences.
