ABSTRACT In this paper I draw on six years of ethnographic fieldwork among Roma camp dwellers in Turin, Italy. I examine two different forms of resistance to housing segregation carried out by the inhabitants of the Roma camp of via Germagnano. By focusing on three symbols of territorial stigmatization whose obtrusive presence characterises the daily life of camp dwellers (the dump, the kennel for stray dogs and the police), I firstly expose everyday forms of resistance enacted by the camp dwellers, mostly reduced in media representations to simple ‘vandalism’. Secondly, I explore the occasional alliance between the inhabitants of via Germagnano and a group of anti-racist (white, middle-class) activists and performers. While in mainstream discourses only the voice of the latter is perceived as legitimate, this paper builds on Scott’s notion of infrapolitics to provide a reading of Roma expressions of anger as a radical questioning of an urban order based on unofficial apartheid.

在罗姆人营地中进行政治异议:从非政治性的“城市暴力”到激进主义

摘要 在这篇论文中,我借鉴了意大利都灵罗姆人营地居民六年来的民族志田野调查。我考察了via Germagnano 罗姆人营地的居民对住房隔离的两种不同形式的抵抗。通过专注于领土污名化的三个象征,它们的突出存在是营地居民日常生活的特征(垃圾场、流浪狗的狗窝和警察),我首先揭露了营地居民的日常抵抗形式,主要是在媒体报道中减少到简单的“故意破坏”。其次,我探讨了via Germagnano 居民与一群反种族主义(白人、中产阶级)活动家和表演者之间的偶然联盟。虽然在主流话语中只有后者的声音被认为是合法的,
