  • From Epic to Memic Balkan National Heroes and Villains Across Time, Space, and Genres Aleksandar Takovski*
    doi: https://doi.org/10.3986/9789610505440_07 From Epic to Memic Balkan National Heroes and Villains across Time, Space, and Genres Aleksandar Takovski* ABSTRACT Heroes and villains are universal archetypes that, until the fragmented and chaotic nineteenth century, were expressions of the same collective fears and desires: fear of extinction, striving for survival and perpetuation, and expression of collective identity. Despite the universal nature of these functions, different geographical and temporal circumstances have affected the processes of hero and villain construction. Using vari- ous genres (epic folk poetry, folklorized art, and internet images), this study traces con- tingencies and continuities in the hero and villain creation processes in four different countries: North Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia. KEYWORDS former Yugoslavia, national heroes and villains, epic poetry, folklorized art, internet memes IZVLEČEK Junaki in zlobneži so univerzalni arhetipi, ki so se vse do fragmentiranega in kaotičnega 21. stoletja navezovali na iste kolektivne strahove in želje, na strah pred uničenjem in prizadevanje po preživetju, trajanje in kolektivno identiteto. Čeprav so junaki in zlobneži glede na svoje funkcije univerzalni, so različne geografske in časovne okoliščine vplivale na proces njihovega izoblikovanja. Pričujoča študija na podlagi različnih žanrov (epska ljudska poezija, folklorizirana umetnost in internetne podobe) išče naključne okoliščine in kontinuitete v izoblikovanju teh dveh tipov v štirih državah: Sloveniji,

  • Ioannis Kolettis. the Vlach from the Ruling ELITE of Greece
    BALCANICA POSNANIENSIA xxIV Poznań 2017 IOANNIS KOLETTIS. THE VLACH FROM THE RULING ELITE OF GREECE DALIBOR JOVANOVSKI , NIKOLA MINOV ABSTRACT. Ioannis Kolettis. The Vlach from the ruling elite of Greece. The article is aimed to show how Ioannis Kolettis, the first Vlach to become Prime Minister of the Greek king- dom. The Vlach people, despite being a stateless ethnic minority in southeastern Europe, have traditionally been deeply involved in every part of the social life in the countries they inhabited. In Greece, more than in any other country, the influence of certain prominent Vlachs has been felt since the foundation of the modern Greek state. Ioannis Kolettis, who served as Prime Minister of Greece from 1844 to 1847, is a striking example of the above thesis. I. Kolettis left a lasting impression on Greek internal and foreign affairs. Despite his non-Greek but Vlach origins, I. Kolettis is credited for conceiving the Great Idea, which became the core of Greek foreign policy and dominated Greek domestic politics for over half a century.

English text with the summary in English. doi.org/10.14746/bp.2017.24.13 More than a century has passed since the British diplomat Sir Charles Eliot wrote one of the most creative and certainly one of the most accurate descriptions of the Vlach people: They remind one of those ingenious pictures in which an animal or a human face is concealed so as not to be obvious on first inspection, though when once seen it appears to be the principal feature of the drawing.

People and events that Kiryakov himself directly or indirectly has met or attended are mentioned in here. This means that the book does not claim to contain ALL the documents from the struggles of the Macedonians under Pirin or that it contains all Macedonian activities, so the rest of the documents, notable people and descriptions of this struggle, remain to be published in later issues. From the editors 3 MAIN SPONSOR OF THE BOOK: Macedonian Orthodox Community of Australia 4 INSTEAD OF AN INTRODUCTION Before we move on to the basic subject of this book, we have to explain why the Macedonians were never Bulgarian, nor did they have ethnic Bulgarian origins, as it is claimed by the majority of Bulgarian governments and official organs.

  • Political Life
    POLITICAL LIFE POLITICAL LIFE INTRODUCTION Since 1944, Albania, Bulgaria and Macedonia shared in political life common elements such as the establishment a one party system, the imposition of a new ideology, construction of new constitutions, the creation of a personality cult towards political leaders and the important role of propaganda in society. However there were also specific elements for each country, such as the issue of statehood for Macedonia or the big emphasis on class struggle in Albania. As a result of the transition in Eastern Europe in the late eighties, radical changes could be noticed in the political systems in Albania, Bulgaria and Macedonia. The three countries experienced the formation of different political parties, free elections and the application of the human rights. How far these changes are everyday reality is left to the judgment of the users of these materials. Political life deals with the following subtopics: Constitutions The constitution is the foundation of the modern state. It shows how the government of the state is organised and what are the rights and responsibilities of the citizens, or at least it should be. As it sometimes turns out that the constitution is different from reality. This subtopic presents the developments in the constitutions of Albania, Bulgaria and Macedonia since 1945 and makes critical comparisons between the constitutions and the real situation. Elections After 1945 Albania, Bulgaria and Macedonia had political systems in which the citizens were allowed to take part in elections. But elections can be organised in different ways and can have different political purposes. What was the meaning of elections in a one party-system and what in a multi-party system? Political persons In every society political leaders and powerful people play an important role.

  • The Recent History of the Aromanians in Southeast Europe
    The Recent History of the Aromanians in Southeast Europe by Alexandru Gica “The aim of this article is to draw an identification “map” of the Aromanians in Southeast Europe. In so doing, we have tried to take an anthropological approach by assuming the analyzed person’s perspective, to understand his or her options and motivations as much as possible. Irina Nicolau (1993) highlighted the difficulty in identifying the Aromanians among their neighbors, due to their chameleon-like characteristics. Thede Kahl (2002) describes the Aromanians as “a minority behaving as a majority.” In a later article, Kahl (2003) gives an answer to the question “can chameleons build their own nationhood?” He observes that “this shifting of identities, this ‘chameleonic’ flexibility, made the Aromanians not only one of the most polyglot groups in Southeast Europe but also a very strong one economically and politically.” Extending this idea, Kahl suggests that “their economic superiority even prevented them from developing their own nationality and accelerated their national absorption.” This article analyzes the cases of the Aromanians from the Republic of Macedonia, Albania, and Greece and should be read together with “The Recent History of the Aromanians in Romania” (Gica A., 2009), which analyzes the Romanian case. We have decided not to include in this article the case of the Aromanians in Bulgaria (a very interesting one) as they are not very numerous (between 3,000 and 5,000). We analyze the period after the First World War and organize the material by the following principles: historical background, demographic information, the state of the Romanian schools and churches founded in the 19th century in order to be used by the Aromanians living in the Ottoman Empire, the Greek-Romanian competition for the loyalty of the Aromanians, the self- identification of the Aromanians in those countries, tensions, further explanations, and conclusions.
