Prácticas comunicativas y relación con el territorio: Kumpania Rrom de Puente Aranda, Bogotá

Abstract

The communicative practices of the Kumpania Roma of Bogota, specifically in the locality of Puente Aranda, reveal the richness and complexity of the Romani people and their experience in a space full of dualities such as the city. The Romani people have developed particular forms of expression that transmit traditional knowledge, stories, language and art that constitute a fundamental part of the zakono rromanó and that, at the same time, resist the ignorance and discrimination of the gadyo society. Nowadays, the benefits of the communicative formats and digital tools have attracted the attention of the gypsies, who have decided to articulate with educational institutions and the National Government, to promote proposals that reinforce the oral tradition and ensure that it is not replaced, as it has been the backbone of the collective memory of the Romani people.
