    Gypsy Representations in American Literature and Film: A Study of Selected Works by Martin Cruz Smith, Thomas Pynchon, and Frank Pierson
    Lakatos, Zsuzsanna; Csató, Péter; DE--Bölcsészettudományi Kar
    Stereotypes have a significant influence on the way Romani or Gypsy characters are represented in literature, films, and the media in general. Most of the depicted stereotypes and conceptions reflect the preconceptions of the dominant culture in various parts of the world. In the United States, for example, where Gypsies do not live in large numbers, negative stereotypical images about of them may be false and inaccurate, but not as harsh or demeaning as they are in Europe and elsewhere in the world. Still, the American and the European depictions have a number of general points in common. For instance, the once prevalently romanticized and mystical literary and artistic representation of Gypsies in nineteenth-century Europe are discernible in the way they are portrayed in American literature and films. To some extent, various notions permeated the American representations of Romani people which originally emerged in European countries, particularly where they live as contrasted minority groups.

    Gypsy Stereotypes in Mortman's The Wild Rose and Martin Cruz's Canto for a Gypsy
    Lakatos, Zsuzsanna; Glant, Tibor; DE--Bölcsészettudományi Kar
    Stereotypes are generalizations, universal formulations and opinions about certain groups of people, race, religion, ethnicity, gender, etc. They are usually pejorative, since people tend to ignore differences between individuals. Stereotyping produces preconceptions, generalizations and prejudice. So we are not born with it, but it is an acquired human trait. It is a universal phenomenon, so it exists everywhere in the world. In Hungary, Gypsies constitute a contrasted ethnic group. There are other ethnic groups as well, but they are usually overshadowed by the Gypsies. Doris Mortman’s The Wild Rose provides some prevalent Gypsy stereotypes in Hungary, and they are highlighted throughout the novel. Gypsy characters in the text reflect dominant stereotypes about them in Hungary, a combination of the usual and traditional images. To analyze various representations of Gypsies in American literature, I am comparing Gypsy stereotypes in Doris Mortman’s The Wild Rose and Martin Cruz’s Canto for a Gypsy.
