Abstract

In my thesis I analyzed the changes in values, ways of life and self-definition of a gypsy community in Kőrispatak (Romania, Hargita county), whose members have converted to religious groups. Throughout my research I also reflected upon the surrounding Hungarian society too, more specifically on the alterations of the Gypsy-Hungarian relationships as a consequence of religious conversion. In my dissertation I analyzed the symbolical representations through which the converted gypsies have built a positive self-concept. Influenced by religious culture, they changed their way of living in a positive manner and they show this in the social sphere.. I interpreted these representation policies as identification practices which are linked with Anthony P. Cohen’s views. (Cohen 1997.)
