Extended Program
4–10 MAY LIVE PROGRAMME PROGRAMI The past months have not been easy for Albania. The earth- quake, whose consequences are still felt by many, and the COVID-19 crisis have taken their toll on all of us. At the same time, we have also witnessed amazing forms of solidarity, strength and resilience. Solidarity between Albanians. Solidarity of Albanians towards their friends in the European Union. Solidarity of the unparalleled support from the EU and its Members States to cope with the post-earthquake and COVID-19. And last March, in a historical day, the European Union decided to open accession negotiations with Albania, the last important leg on its EU integration path. Europe Week 2020 celebrates this togetherness. With the co- operation of 18 artists from our Member States and Albania, we want to honour the best that the current situation has brought out in people and offer some comfort and entertain- ment. We are closer than ever. We are stronger together. Luigi Soreca EU Ambassador to Albania Muajt e fundit nuk kanë qenë të lehtë për Shqipërinë. Tërmeti, pasojat e të cilit ende ndihen nga shumë njerëz, dhe kriza e shkaktuar nga Covid-19 kanë rënduar mbi të gjithë ne. Në të njëjtën kohë, jemi bërë dëshmitarë të formave të mahnitshme të solidaritetit, forcës dhe qëndrueshmërisë. Solidaritet mes shqiptarëve. Solidaritet i shqiptarëve kundrejt miqve të tyre në Bashkimin Evropian. Solidaritet i mbështetjes së pakrahasueshme nga BE-ja dhe Shtetet Anëtare të saj për t’u përballur me pasojat pas tërmetit dhe Covid-19. Ndërsa në mars, në një ditë historike, Bashkimi Evropian vendosi të hapë negociatat me Shqipërinë, etapa e fundit e rëndësishme në udhën e saj drejt integrimit në BE. -

On Balkanism and Orientalism: Undifferentiated Patterns of Perception in Literary And
On Balkanism and Orientalism: Undifferentiated Patterns of Perception in Literary and Critical Representations of Eastern Europe Abstract: This paper explores the extent to which Eastern Europe has been historically subject to a process of ‘othering’ in the western literary imagination; and how far the western practice of ‘Balkanism’ can be considered congruous with the wider practice of ‘Orientalism’ throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and into the twenty- first. Drawing on theoretical work by Vesna Goldsworthy and Mariia Todorova, it shows that both in fiction and literary scholarship western writers have been unable fully to conceptualise Eastern Europe, with the result that their fictional portrayals are evasive and indistinct and their literary analysis unable to define a clear object. Malcolm Bradbury’s novel Rates of Exchange (1983), Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Unconsoled (1995) and Jim Crace’s Six (20034) are explored alongside Edward Said’s Beginnings and Fredric Jameson’s Political Unconscious to show that this under-conceptualisation has continued to dominate literary representations of Eastern Europe during the late- and post- Cold War periods, thereby subjecting Said and Jameson to a rigorous critique of their own methods with regards to the western practice of ‘Balkanism’ of which they are uncritical. Keywords: Eastern Europe (portrayals of) Balkanism Malcolm Bradbury Kazuo Ishiguro Jim Crace Main Text: 1 Introduction: The Undifferentiated Otherness of Eastern Europe In a significant study of how South Eastern Europe is represented in the British literary imagination, Vesna Goldsworthy has identified a series of structural blind-spots, or aporia, within and between which the Balkans have been constructed as an ideological trope. -

The Antitotalitarian Allegories of George Orwell and Ismail Kadare – a Comparative Analysis of the Forms of Their Expression
ISSN 2411-9563 (Print) European Journal of Social Sciences January-April 2015 ISSN 2312-8429 (Online) Education and Research Volume 2, Issue 1 The Antitotalitarian Allegories of George Orwell and Ismail Kadare – A Comparative Analysis of the Forms of their Expression Ervin Xhinaku MA.: English Lecturer, Faculty of Education & Philology, “Fan S. Noli” University, Korçë, Albania. Email: [email protected] Dr. Olsa Pema Lecturer of American History & English Communication, Faculty of Education & Philology, “Fan S. Noli” University, Korçë, Albania. Email: [email protected] Abstract The object of this study is the analytical comparison between the antitotalitarian allegories of George Orwell and Ismail Kadare, with a special focus on the similarities and differences in the forms of their expression. With this overall aim in view, from the rich and varied oeuvre of Kadare we have selected “The Palace of Dreams” and “The Pyramid”, as two of his most representative antitotalitarian novels written in a totalitarian environment, and placed them alongside the antitotalitarian classics of Orwell – “Animal Farm” and “1984”. As the many stylistic and structural differences between these novels tend to fall into a consistent pattern, in order to make sense of them, we have directed our attention beyond the texts themselves into matters related to the context in which they were conceived, the history of their publication and the type of readership to which they were primarily addressed. Our critical examination shows that the novels of Kadare tend to be more structurally complex than those of Orwell, while the exploration of their deep allegorical meaning is follows a less straightforward route than the allegorical probing of “Animal Farm” and “1984”. -

But on the contrary, they glorify us with this epithet; it is an honor for us to be Stalinists for while we maintain such a stand the enemy cannot and will never force us to our knees. 1 Enver Hoxha In discussing the evolution of communist party states in Eastern Europe, Chalmers Johnson argued that "Communists do not merely rule, or dominate, or suppress; they institute a process of change.n2 An examination of such a process of change in Albania, Eastern Eu rope's least studied Marxist-Leninist regime, demonstrates the va lidity of Johnson's assertion and, moreover, permits the student of change in Communist society to make generalizations about the di rection of that process. -
