  • The Term Soft Power Has Been Championed by Joseph S
    Strategy for export of Kosovo’s cultural assets Olta Andoni* I. Introduction Kosovo, the NEWBORN state, is enjoying its independence. The long dreamed aspirations are more than real for Kosovo right now. Looking forward to the future and being recognized by more countries is another “war” for Kosovo. Seeking new avenues in this direction is the key to the newest state in the world. However, the next “war” of Kosovo has to be a muted and psychological one. Whether it will be successful or not depends on a series of factors. Kosovo, as a new independent state, is more focused on working toward the accession by new states, neglecting the relevance of the arts and culture in the process. But no development is expected without the interplay of the culture. If culture is defined as the entire system of beliefs, practices and customs that exist in a society, it is the foundation that supports every development.1 Economic development without cultural roots will never be sustainable.2 Relying on the power of art and culture is crucial for Kosovo’s future. This paper examines the importance of the art and culture on bridging the gap between a new state, its neighbors and the world. * LL.M. IP Candidate 2009, Chicago-Kent College of Law. Thank you to Prof. Perritt for encouraging the author to come up with a strategy to assist the export of cultural assets of the newest state in the world, Kosovo. 1The power of Culture, http://powerofculture.nl/en/theme/policy.html, (last visited on Dec.2, 2008).

  • Youth Policy in Albania Council of Europe in 1997
    ID 9540 Albania is the seventeenth country to have undergone an international review of its national youth policy, a series which was started by the Youth policy in Albania Council of Europe in 1997. The review was performed in 2009 during two one-week visits by a team of international experts working on the basis of the Albanian National Youth Strategy, published in 2007. The report focuses on three issues identified by the Albanian government: the law, delivery mechanisms and youth participation, and three issues identified as important by the review team itself: youth information, leisure-time activities and youth crime and justice. While reviewing the youth policy in Albania with special attention to theses issues, the international team came across a number of specific or cross-sectoral subjects (education, health, minorities, etc.) which helped depict a broad picture of the situation of young people in the country. Recommendations made by the international team, cover not only government action, but address steps to be taken by those who take part, at all levels, in the shaping of youth policy in Albania. Youth policy in Albania The Council of Europe has 47 member states, covering virtually the entire continent of Europe. It seeks to develop common democratic and legal principles based on the European Convention on Human Rights and other reference texts on the protection of individuals. Ever since it was founded in 1949, in the aftermath of the Second World War, the Council of Europe has symbolised reconciliation.

Kushtrim Jakupi Faculty of Music of Pristina University Abstract Albanian folk music, this great treasure preserved over generations is an expression of high con- sciousness of everything precious inherited from the past. In determining the typology of this folklore, Albanian Ethnomusicology rightly refers to two major ethnographic divisions, which, according to the natural boundary defined by Shkumbini River, are Gheg in the northern part and Tosk, south of it. In a general approach (even within these two large ethno music areas, folk- lore is presented with its striking diversity), it can be said, that: northern folklore, respectively Gheg one, is distinguished for its monodic singing, based on oj- and chromatic modes with 11 sounds, influenced by oriental music, while southern folk music generally appears unified iniso polyphony, which by modal perspective is built on pentatonic (Tole, 2007, 5). The types of degree’s steps that are encountered in Albanian folklore music can be divided in two categories, defined by their own origins. In the first group, the so-called diatonic modes, include older modes, in which did not penetrate the later influences that came from the Orient (when Albanian became part of the Ottoman Empire) (Koçi, 2002, 143), a part of which with ancient origins, like three, tetra, penta and hexachord, while the rest derived from church modes, like eolik and jonic, but also anhemitonic pentatonic.

  • Kosova'da Roman Müziği Ve Kültüründe Kadın, Erkek Ve Ötesi
    TOPLUMSAL CİNSİYET BAHAR 2013 / SAYI 6 KOSOVA’DA ROMAN MÜZİĞİ VE KÜLTÜRÜNDE KADIN, ERKEK VE ÖTESİ Svanibor Pettan Çeviren: Burcu Yıldız Kitabın editorü Tullia Magrini giriş bölümünde müzik araştırmasının; “toplumsal cinsiyetlendirilmiş etkinlik” ya da “toplumsal cinsiyetlendirilmiş kültür” olarak “kadınların müzikal pratiklerini ortaya koyup müzikal dünyamızın resmini tamamlama ihtiyacının ötesine” geçmesi gerektiğini savunur- ken kesinlikle haklıdır. Toplumsal cinsiyetin ikili algısının, kişiler tarafından ‘alternatif toplumsal cinsiyet tanımları” ile sorgulandığı müzikal pratikler beni özellikle şaşırtmıştır (Sugarman 1997: 32 ile karşılaştırın).1 Birçok çalışma bu durumun dünyanın çeşitli kültürlerinde var olduğunu öne sürer. Birkaç tanesinden bahsetmek gerekirse, Amerika Yerlileri (örn., Hill 1935; Whitehead 1981), Tahiti- liler (Levy 1971), Ummanlılar (Wikan 1977), Kenyalılar (Shepherd 1977), ve Türkler (Stokes, kitapta 13. bölüm) örnek verilebilir. Bu çalışmalar, kendi kültürlerindeki algılanış farklılıkların yanında, belli başlı durumlarda da önemli farklılıklar gösterirler. Cinsiyet ve toplumsal cinsiyetin eşleştiği erkek-kadın ikiliğine bir alternatif geliştirmek için, sistemi elinde tutan kültürel verilerle tanışıklık kurmak gerekir. Kosova’nın Balkan bölgesinde toplumsal cinsiyet bağlamında trans müzikal pratiklerine dair özel bir örnek durum üzerine yü- rüttüğüm tartışmalara, bölgedeki ve Roman (Çingene) nüfusunun içindeki toplumsal cinsiyet ve müzik tartışmaları ile başlamamın nedeni budur.2 Bu bölümde iki temel sebeple geçmiş

Their name in the Albanian language is Rom (official) and Arixhi, Gabel, Magjup, Kurbat (derogative), and in the minority language their name is Rrom (sg.) and Rroma (pl.) Is there any form of recognition of the minority? Roma are officially recognized through the Romani NGOs that have a judicial status in Albania (Kanev, 1999). Nevertheless, Roma are not recognized publicly as a distinct minority, unlike the Greeks and the Macedonians who are recognized due to a situation inherited from communism.

  • Traditional Music of Multicultural Belgrade’, Held on June 21St, 2009 in Yugoslav Theater in Belgrade, Organized by Ethnomusicological Society of Serbia (ESS)
    MÜZİKTE TEMSİL & MÜZİKSEL TEMSİL II STRATEGIES OF APPLIED ETHNOMUSICOLOGY FOR BETTERMENT Marija Dumnić OF CULTURAL REPRESENTATIONS: CASE Serbian Faculty of Music STUDY OF CONCERT ‘TRADITIONAL [email protected] MUSIC OF MULTICULTURAL BELGRADE’ On this occasion I will try to present a framework of applied ethnomusicology by giving an example of a concert organized for improvement of cultural representations of ethnic minorities in Belgrade, the capitol of Serbia.1 Applied ethnomusicology, in wider terms, includes almost every ethnomusicological activity: fieldwork, archiving of recorded material, publishing of papers, education of future ethnomusicologists, organization of parades, festivals and concerts, being a part of judging panel on music competitions, organization of music workshops with a specific purpose. Of course, not all of aforementioned activities define applied ethnomusicology in narrower terms, though their material dimension and a certain impact they have is undeniable. However, this can rather be understood as practical, empirical side of ethnomusicology, a side which exists in every realm of human acting and behavior. This paper deals with applied ethnomusicology in narrower sense. Before its official establishing, this discipline was practiced by scientists as well as the amateurs, but not under that name yet.2 Today ‘applied ethnomusicology’ means some acting of ethnomusicologists on people and situations which were up to this moment only observed, consequently, this young discipline deals with problems which were not familiar to earlier ethnomusicology. Although ethnomusicology exists for almost one and the half century, its application has been explicitly discussed for the past fifteen years, but not everywhere and not in large part (see Pettan 2009:63).
