It is a forgotten part of history that between the late 19th and late 20th centuries more than 20 urban memory sites were dedicated in Hungary to prominent persons of Romani ethnicity, a minority group that faces often extreme discrimination. This research seeks to examine how these sites were implicated in the spatial control of Romani communities by dominant society. Combining critical analysis and historical research, it will show how the everyday life and cultural-political activism of the Roma were kept away from urban centres, sometimes aided by hegemonic strategies of pluralizing the urban heritage environment.Following the histories of 10-15 of such sites to the present, this research will reconstruct the development of two types of largely invisible urban geographies in Hungary and their interrelations. One is the cultural map of these onetime or surviving, but obscured public representations, and the other is the geography of Romani urban life and Romani self-organization/activism. Relying on archival research and oral history interviews, it will investigate how dominant society kept the residence locations, community life and cultural-political activism of the Roma away from urban centres by spatial memorialisations on the urban margins. Some sites to be examined were established in central urban areas, but they often served oppressive ends, such as the nationalist appropriation and/or de-Romafying of individuals' memories, or stereotyping representations that ideologically endorsed policing the Roma in public urban spaces. These meanings will be negotiated through critical discourse analysis, extending to a wide range of written and visual sources.

在19世纪末到20世纪末，匈牙利有20多个城市纪念遗址被用来纪念罗姆族知名人士，这是历史上被遗忘的一部分。罗姆族是一个经常面临极端歧视的少数群体。这项研究试图考察这些遗址是如何牵连到主导社会对罗姆人社区的空间控制的。批评分析和历史研究相结合，将展示罗姆人的日常生活和文化政治活动如何远离城市中心，有时借助城市遗产环境多元化的霸权战略。根据10-15个这样的遗址到现在的历史，这项研究将重建匈牙利两种基本上看不见的城市地理的发展及其相互关系。一个是这些曾经的或幸存的、但模糊的公共表达的文化地图，另一个是罗姆人城市生活和罗姆人自组织/激进主义的地理。它将依靠档案研究和口述历史访谈，调查主导社会如何通过城市边缘的空间纪念碑，将罗姆人的居住地、社区生活和文化政治活动保持在远离城市中心的地方。一些将被审查的地点是在中心城区建立的，但它们往往具有压迫目的，如民族主义侵占和/或剥夺个人记忆，或在意识形态上支持在城市公共空间维持罗姆人治安的陈规陋习。这些意义将通过批判性话语分析进行协商，延伸到广泛的书面和视觉来源。
