  • The Monument As Ruin: Natality, Spectrality, and the History of the Image in the Tirana Independence Monument
    Liminal Balkans No. 2 - Year 6 06/2016 - LC.6 [sic] - a journal of literature, culture and literary translation Raino Isto, University of Maryland, USA ([email protected]) The Monument as Ruin: Natality, Spectrality, and the History of the Image in the Tirana Independence Monument Abstract This article examines the Tirana Independence Monument, first inaugurated in November of 2012 on the hundredth anniversary of Albanian independence from the Ottoman Empire. The monument, designed by Visar Obrija and Kai Roman Kiklas, swiftly fell into disrepair until it was recently renovated in November of 2015. The article analyzes the monument’s function in terms of its doubled existence as a sign of perpetual natality (the possibility of the rebirth of national consciousness) and as a ruin with a spectral pseudo-presence (as an object that continually reminds us of the disjunctures that divorce the present from its historicity). It considers the way the monument’s inauguration relates to the politics of monumentality in contemporary Albania, and argues that the monument’s gradual ruination between 2012 and 2015 can be read as a particular manifestation of the history of the image in late capitalist society.[1] Keywords : spectrality, natality, monumentality, Albania, Tirana, independence, national identity, grid, public sculpture 1. Introduction “A good city is a city that remembers.”—Erion Veliaj (qtd. in “Monumenti i Pavarësisë rikonstruktohet”)[2] “The fortification, once an object, tended to become a ‘subject.’”—Paul Virilio (41) ISSN 1847-7755; doi: 10.15291/sic/2.6.lc.6 1 Liminal Balkans No. 2 - Year 6 06/2016 - LC.6 [sic] - a journal of literature, culture and literary translation The image of the damaged, abandoned or ruined monument has served for some time as both an icon and an index of the postsocialist condition.

Keywords: Enver Hoxha, death, mass mourning, state funeral Ključne besede: Enver Hoxha, smrt, množično žalovanje, državni pogreb INTRODUCTION “The dictator died, but the dictatorship continued.” “The star fell, but its light remained.” —Former political prisoner —WWII veteran Enver Hoxha is one of the longest-serving communist leaders in the world. He ruled Albania for more than 40 years, following his “special Albanian path.” After coming into power in 1944, the “Balkan ex-Muslim Stalinist” (Halliday 1986: 6) “killed god”1 and became a replacement deity for the youthful generation, transformed Albania from a backward post-Ottoman province into a modern industrial country, installed a violent isolationism, and led a life hollowed by paranoia (Lendvai 1985: 64–65; Fischer 2007: 249–266; Mëhilli 2011: 7–13). Hoxha’s first (natural) death in 1985 and second (political) death in 1991 generated a full circle of events, from the immortalization to the damnation of an absolute monarch and from anti-communist iconoclasm to bittersweet nostalgia for the dictator- ship.

It brings out clearly the clash between the diabolical plans, attempts, manoeuvres and concrete activities of Anglo-American imperialism to put Albania under its sway, on the one hand, and the vigilance, the blow for blow struggle of the Communist Party of Albania and its General Secretary, the leader of the Army and the National Liberation Front and the whole patriotic Alba• nian people, Comrade Enver Hoxha, on the other hand, to discover, unmask, defeat and destroy the imperialist strategy and tactics in regard to Albania.
