Abstract

The presence of gypsys in Spain dates officially from 1425. Seventy four years, in 1499, the first pragmatic law is dictated against them. Therefore, a racist legislation begins that will last until 1978. During that period an antigypsy legislation is developed that creates the semantic field from which a speech is generated that culminates in the creation of «the gypsy». The contemporary historiography has not properly taken care of this fact. My intention is to approach this reality from a philosophical reflection. With the purpose of initiating this task, I will stop to contextualize the pragmatic law of 1499 historically and locating it in a scope of philosophical reflection.
