    Montenegro's Tribal Legacy

    WARNING! The views expressed in FMSO publications and reports are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official policy or position of the Department of the Army, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. Montenegro's Tribal Legacy by Major Steven C. Calhoun, US Army Foreign Military Studies Office, Fort Leavenworth, KS. This article appeared in Military Review July-August 2000 The mentality of our people is still very patriarchal. Here the knife, revenge and a tribal (plemenski) system exist as nowhere else.1 The whole country is interconnected and almost everyone knows everyone else. Montenegro is nothing but a large family—all of this augurs nothing good. —Mihajlo Dedejic2 When the military receives an order to deploy into a particular area, planners focus on the terrain so the military can use the ground to its advantage. Montenegro provides an abundance of terrain to study, and it is apparent from the rugged karst topography how this tiny republic received its moniker—the Black Mountain. The territory of Montenegro borders Croatia, Bosnia- Herzegovina, Serbia and Albania and is about the size of Connecticut. Together with the much larger republic of Serbia, Montenegro makes up the current Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY). But the jagged terrain of Montenegro is only part of the military equation. Montenegro has a complex, multilayered society in which tribe and clan can still influence attitudes and loyalties. Misunderstanding tribal dynamics can lead a mission to failure. Russian misunderstanding of tribal and clan influence led to unsuccessful interventions in Afghanistan and Chechnya.3 In Afghanistan, the rural population's tribal organization facilitated their initial resistance to the Soviets.

Janz is professor of religious studies at Loyola University, New Orleans, · Louisiana. From the time of its inception as a discipline, the scientific study of religion has raised the question of the universality of religion. Are human beings somehow naturally religious? Has there ever been a truly religionless society? Is modernity itself inimical to religion, leading slowly but nevertheless inexorably to its extinction? Or does a fundamental human religiosity survive and mutate into ever new forms, as it adapts itself to the exigencies of the age? There are as of yet no clear answers to these questions. And religiologists continue to search for the irreligious society, or at least for the society in which religion is utterly devoid of any social significance, where the religious sector is a tiny minority made up largely of elderly people and assorted marginal figures.

    Albanian Families' History and Heritage Making at the Crossroads of New

    Voicing the stories of the excluded: Albanian families’ history and heritage making at the crossroads of new and old homes Eleni Vomvyla UCL Institute of Archaeology Thesis submitted for the award of Doctor in Philosophy in Cultural Heritage 2013 Declaration of originality I, Eleni Vomvyla confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature 2 To the five Albanian families for opening their homes and sharing their stories with me. 3 Abstract My research explores the dialectical relationship between identity and the conceptualisation/creation of history and heritage in migration by studying a socially excluded group in Greece, that of Albanian families. Even though the Albanian community has more than twenty years of presence in the country, its stories, often invested with otherness, remain hidden in the Greek ‘mono-cultural’ landscape. In opposition to these stigmatising discourses, my study draws on movements democratising the past and calling for engagements from below by endorsing the socially constructed nature of identity and the denationalisation of memory. A nine-month fieldwork with five Albanian families took place in their domestic and neighbourhood settings in the areas of Athens and Piraeus. Based on critical ethnography, data collection was derived from participant observation, conversational interviews and participatory techniques. From an individual and family group point of view the notion of habitus led to diverse conceptions of ethnic identity, taking transnational dimensions in families’ literal and metaphorical back- and-forth movements between Greece and Albania.

    Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova 29 Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova Jahja Drançolli* Abstract In the present study it is examined the issue of Illyrian- Albanian continuity in the areal of Kosova, a scientific problem, which, due to the reasons of daily policy, has extremely become exploited (harnessed) until the present days. The politicisation of the ancient history of Kosova begins with the Eastern Crisis, a time when the programmes of Great-Serb aggression for the Balkans started being drafted. These programmes, inspired by the extra-scientific history dressed in myths, legends and folk songs, expressed the Serb aspirations to look for their cradle in Kosova, Vojvodina. Croatia, Dalmatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina and Montenegro. Such programmes, based on the instrumentalized history, have always been strongly supported by the political circles on the occasion of great historical changes, that have overwhelmed the Balkans. Key Words: Dardania and Dardans in antiquity, Arbers and Kosova during the Middle Ages, geopolitical, ethnic, religious and cultural concepts, which are known in the sources of that time followed by a chronological development. The region of Kosova preserves archeological monuments from the beginnings of Neolith (6000-2600 B.C.). Since that time the first settlements were constructed, including Tjerrtorja (Prishtinë), Glladnica (Graçanicë), Rakoshi (Istog), Fafos and Lushta (Mitrovicë), Reshtan and Hisar (Suharekë), Runik (Skenderaj) etc. The region of Kosova has since the Bronze Age been inhabited by Dardan Illyrians; the territory of extension of this region was much larger than the present-day territory of Kosova. * Prof. Jahja Drançolli Ph.

DOI: 10.2478/seeur-2014-0015 “If the Big Powers condemn this brave and freedom loving people to remain under occupation, or still worse, if they split it up among the neighboring countries, the Balkan Peninsula will never find peace, because the Albanians will never give up fighting for their national independence. On the contrary, if they recognize Albanian national rights, Albania will become a contributing factor to peace in the Balkan Peninsula” - Abdyl Frashëri (1839-1892), Albanian political ideologue of the Albanian National Awakening and Leader of Albanian League of Prizren 1. The History of the Albanian national question The shaping of the Albanian idea and national consciousness began in the second half of the nineteenth century as an intellectual movement known as the Albanian National Renaissance. This movement was a key catalyst of many important processes for the organization of Albanians. The Albanian National Renaissance stimulated the Albanian pan-national intellectual, political and military arrangements aiming at the liberation, unification and creation of the Albanian national state. ‘Political Albanianism’ (Shqiptarizma politike) as it was propagated in particular by Branko Merxhani, the Albanian 167 Unauthenticated Download Date | 3/27/15 2:42 PM SEEU Review | Special Edition | Volume 10 | Issue 1 | 2014 publicist, idealist, and founder of the school of Neo-Albanianism, was created in 1912, at the same time as the Albanian

The written sources were mainly preserved outside Albania, in different states, in many archives, in public, private or church libraries, and mostly in foreign languages. One of the richest Middle Age archives (especially for the XII-XV century) concerning the history of Albanians in particular and of the Western Balkan in general, is the State Archive in Dubrovnik,1 due to the important role that Dubrovnik had in economic, social and financial relations with neighbouring countries. The funds of this archive contain numerous documents, acts and testaments, of a public or private character, about Albanians and territories they lived.

Dr. TEUTA SHALA-PELI Assistant Professor Institute of History "Ali Hadri", Prishtina Kosovo Abstract: There are many foreign scholars who with their writings have contributed to the brightening of the life and work of Gjergj Kastriot- Skanderbeg. Interesting information backed by facts and scientific arguments, is also brought to us by the researcher Kostandin Jirecek. Although his works are not devoted directly to Skanderbeg, however Jerichek in his writings, by treating the history of the Albanian people, has shown an interest in the figure of Gjergj Kastriot-Skënderbeu, providing us with important notions about the life and work of our hero, information which are built on the basis of archival resources. Since we are at the 100th anniversary of the death of Constantin Jirecek and the 550th anniversary of the death of Skanderbeg, we found it reasonable to point out the scientific contribution of this scholar given to the treatment of the figure of our hero. To understand the scientific contribution of Kostandin Jirecek, to illuminate the image of Gjergj Kastriot-Skanderbeg and his age, we will undertake a scientific analysis of the notices that the scholar in question offers to the Kastrioti family in general starting with his grandfather Pal Kastrioti to continue with the information on Gjon Kastriot, Gjergj Kastriot-Skanderbeg's activity before 1443, for his wars against the Ottoman attacks, relations with neighboring countries such as Venice, Naples, Ragusa, then with local feudals, and issues which are related to the life and work of Gjergj Kastriot- Skanderbeg, and ultimately trying to draw a conclusion on the value and significance of the works of the scholar in question about Skanderbeg and his age.
