Zigeuner / Roma im Film
(2011)
‚Zigeuner‘ – das Wort bezeichnet ein Bild, ein Stereotyp, eine klischeeartige Vorstellung von ‚Anderssein‘. Diese Anderen können faszinierend oder bedrohlich oder beides sein. Solche Bilder sind das Material, aus dem Filme, vor allem beim Publikum erfolgreiche, in der Regel gemacht sind. Sie greifen dabei häufig auf bereits vorliegende Bilder, Stoffe und Motive (Kindsraub, Kriminalität, Nomadentum, Wahrsagerei und stereotype Beschreibungen des Aussehens) aus anderen, älteren Medien – Literatur, Oper, bildende Kunst – zurück. Das gilt etwa für die bekannteste aller Zigeunerinnen: Carmen. Diese von Mérimée (1820) über Bizet (1875), Peter Brook (1983), Francesco Rosi (1984) und Carlos Saura (1983/1991) meist als femme-fatale-Narrativ inszenierte Geschichte einer selbstbestimmten Frau enthielt von Anfang an alle Zutaten für einen dauerhaften internationalen Erfolg, die Verbindung von Text, Bild, Musik, Gesang und Tanz sorgte für größtmögliche
intermediale Anschlussfähigkeit.
Four species of mole crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllotalpidae) are known from the West Indies: Neocurtilla hexadactyla (Perty), Scapteriscus abbreviatus Scudder, S. didactylus (Latreille), and S. imitatus Nickle and Castner. All are adventive (not native). We document their distributions in West Indian islands/countries by use of records from the literature and examination of specimens. Scapteriscus abbreviatus has been suggested to have arrived in, and been transported about the West Indies in ship ballast (immigration). Based on records of arrival in various parts of the West Indies and the species’ inability to fly, this suggestion seems reasonable. Scapteriscus imitatus pparently was released in Puerto Rico as a result of mistaken identification (introduction – arriving with assistance from humans – although inadvertent), and has not expanded its range in the West Indies. Although the principal mode of dispersal for the other two species also has been suggested to be ship ballast, we present an alternative based on flight which would seem at least equally as plausible. We suggest that S. didactylus could have dispersed by flight from South America through the Lesser Antilles; likewise N. hexadactyla probably from the Yucatan Peninsula to Cuba, and from South America northward through the Lesser Antilles, in at least some localities assisted by wind. Our zoogeographical alternative, if correct, means that the natural range expansions of these latter two species began very long ago and without human assistance – they were not introduced recently to the West Indies.
