Debates cotidianos sobre questões como diferenças culturais parecem ser relevantes para analisar não apenas conversas ou discursos institucionais, mas também as comunicações midiáticas. A forma como a mídia retrata os acontecimentos sociais contribui para a construção de categorias interpretativas sobre o mundo. O objetivo principal desta pesquisa consistiu em analisar as representações de ‘ciganos’ em reportagens publicadas em jornais amplamente difundidos na Itália e no Brasil. Os resultados mostraram que as notícias italianas se concentram em temas relacionados às condições de vida dos ciganos, a estereótipos, a crimes sofridos ou a eles atribuídos, e a debate políticos e culturais sobre a questão dos ciganos em cidades italianas. A análise das notícias brasileiras apontaram temáticas associados aos ciganos no contexto das produções artístico-culturais (filmes,novelas, canções, danças e peças de ópera e de teatro), mencionados junto a outros povos e comunidades tradicionais brasileiros, bem como ao holocausto cigano durante o período do nazismo. O artigo discute os processos de invisibilidade social e a produção social da (re)presentação de imagens estereotipadas sobre os ciganos como problema social, e marginalizados na esfera das políticas públicas e de seus direitos fundamentais.

Abstract

In everyday debates on topics such as cultural differences, it seems relevant to analyze not only institutional conversations or speeches, but also mass-media communications. The way the media portray social events contributes to the construction of our categories of explanation of the world. The main purpose of this research is to analyze the representations of ‘gypsies’ in news articles published in some of the most important national newspapers in Italy and Brazil. Results show that Italian news focuses on the living conditions of Roma people, stereotypes, crimes suffered or attributed to them, and political and cultural debates on the Roma question in Italian cities. Brazilian news indicated themes associated with Roma in the context of artistic-cultural productions (films,soap operas, songs, dances and opera and theatre plays), mentioned with other Brazilian traditional peoples and communities, as well as the death of gypsies during the Nazi period. The paper discusses the processes of social invisibility and the social production of the (re)presentation of cliché images of Roma as a social problem, marginalized in the sphere of public policies and of their fundamental rights.
