Counterstrategies to the Antigypsy Gaze

Overview & Synopsis

Countering antigypsyism in film is the problem field which this edited collection inaugurates. The aim is to shift the focus from antigypsyism critique and open up alongside it a new set of discussions about the artistic counterstrategies to antigypsyism, highlighting the need for intertextual, transcultural, and transmedial approaches in the analysis. The contributions foreground the applicability of the research findings and provide a broad range of examples, which may be useful to filmmakers and professionals from the film industry. The volume documents the case studies presented at the international workshop “Artistic Alternatives to the Antigypsy Gaze” held in Heidelberg in 2021.
