Přerušovaná spojení. Budování infrastrukturního zázemí v jedné východoslovenské romské osadě

Abstract

The article deals with the implementation of the basic infrastructure into the area of an Eastern Slovakian Roma settlement. The infrastructure is conceptualized as an assemblages of material objects, practices and knowledge organizing the existing social relationships, and contributing to the exclusion and marginalization of Roma people. Based on the fieldwork, author discusses the consequences of the infrastructural building (public water supply system, public lighting and electric network) and how do they contribute to the forms of disconnections creating the differences between local majority and people who live in the described Roma settlement.
