This is not an abstract

Contribution long abstract:

In my fieldwork I have worked with people who have had an amazing ability to orient themselves in space (urban and periurban) without reading signs, mostly through memory, emotional links or conversations with others. In fact, many of these peripatetic Romani traders are iliterate. I hardly have had such an experience -- in the field I was mostly following my friends and in my daily life I hardly get lost in space. Engaging in 'controlled lostness' by bringing these two modalities together thus promises to bring unique insights. Moreover, as a scholar of Romani communities, I would add to the group a different view of this Czech city.
