The theory of shed light on the topic of great interest nowadays regarding this socialist realism implies dialectical relations between form and style as part of Albanian heritage. The paper describes the history of socialist realism and the influence of the Albanian Communist Party content [5]. on the development of the architecture during the socialist period.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUctION Burrel, Spaç, Qafë-Bari, Ruzyně, Pankrác, Mírov, Leopoldov, Valdice, Jáchymov, Bytíz u Přibrami, Białołęka, Aiud, Gherla, Jilava, Piteşti, Recsk, Lovech, Belene, Idrizovo, Goli otok. These are names that mean little or nothing to many. But to East Europeans from Central Europe to the farthest reaches of the Balkans, they form an indelible part of their collective memory as the darkest page in the forty-five-year history of communism in the region. They are the names of detention centers, prison camps, and forced labor camps that corrupted the landscape of Eastern Europe from the end of World War II to the collapse of communism in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Although less familiar than the Soviet gulag made famous through the writings of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and undeniably Soviet in inspiration, they were no less brutal and dehumanizing.1 They became a living hell for a huge number of human beings from every walk of life, especially intellectuals, artists, and students whose only crime in many in- stances was a repugnance for the repressive Communist system that demanded conformity and brooked no opposition. Resistance to the imposition of Communist rule throughout Eastern Europe manifested itself almost from the very beginning and grew into mass, and some- times violent, eruptions of protest, among them the Poznań riots in Poland in October 1956, the Hungarian Revolution later that same year, the Prague Spring that led to the Soviet and Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, the rise of Solidarity in Poland in the early 1980s—the reverberations from which were ultimately felt throughout all of Eastern Europe—and the bloody upheaval that ended the reign of Nicolae Ceauşescu in Romania in December 1989.

Bu çerçevede Arnavutluk genelinde yaptığımız araştırmada tespit edilen bezemeler motif ve üslup özellikleri teknik açıdan incelenerek Anadolu ve Balkanlardaki benzer örnekleri ile karşılaştırılarak değerlendirmeye çalışılmıştır. 17. Yüzyıldan itibaren Osmanlı dini mimarisinde hünkâr mahfilleri ve mahfil tavan altlarında yakın mesafelerde kullanılmaya başlanan edirnekârî tekniği, Arnavutluk’ta 18. ve 19. yüzyıllarda dini ve sivil mimarideki ahşap eleman üzerine uygulanmış olduğu görülür. Arnavutluk’ta günümüze kadar gelebilmiş olan edirnekârî bezemelerin en iyi örneklerine, Tiran Ethem Bey Camii ahşap minberi ve kadınlar mahfilinde karşılaşılmaktadır. Doğal çiçek motiflerinden oluşan süslemelerde zemin rengi olarak kırmızı mavi ve sarı tercih edilmiş üstüne de lake çekilerek daha parlak ve canlı bir görünüm kazanması sağlanmıştır. Berat Şeyh Hasan Halveti Tekkesi, Ergiri Zekâtlar Konağı ahşap tavan yüzeylerinde, dolap yüzeylerinde, pencere pervazlarında bulunan edirnekârî süslemeler daha gerçekçi bir şekilde işlenmiş olan çiçek ve meyve tasvirlerinden oluşmaktadır. Arnavutluk’ta tespit edilen edirnekârî işlerinin Edirne’de ve Anadolu’da görülen örneklerinden daha farklı bir üslup ve teknikle yapıldığı görülmüştür. Özellikle renk ve biçim anlayışının bölgeye özgü halk sanatı etkileri taşıdığı ayrıca geometrik motifli bezemeler yerine bitkisel motifli bezemelerin tercih edildiği açıkça görülmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Balkanlar, Arnavutluk, Süsleme, Edirnekari, Edirne İşi.

  • National Myths in Interdependence
    National Myths in Interdependence: The Narratives of the Ancient Past among Macedonians and Albanians in the Republic of Macedonia after 1991 By Matvey Lomonosov Submitted to Central European University Nationalism Studies Program In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts CEU eTD Collection Advisor: Professor Maria Kovács Budapest, Hungary 2012 Abstract The scholarship on national mythology primarily focuses on the construction of historical narratives within separate “nations,” and oftentimes presents the particular national ist elites as single authors and undisputable controllers of mythological versions of the past. However, the authorship and authority of the dominant national ist elites in designing particular narratives of the communal history is limited. The national past, at least in non- totalitarian societies, is widely negotiated, and its interpretation is always heteroglot . The particular narratives that come out of the dominant elites’ “think-tanks” get into a polyphonic discursive milieu discussing the past. Thus they become addressed to alternative narratives, agree with them, deny them or reinterpret them. The existence of those “other” narratives as well as the others’ authorship constitutes a specific factor in shaping mythopoeic activities of dominant political and intellectual national elites. Then, achieving personal or “national” goals by nationalists usually means doing so at the expense or in relations to the others. If in this confrontation the rivals use historical myths, the evolution of the later will depend on mutual responses. Thus national historical myths are constructed in dialogue, contain voices of the others, and have “other” “authors” from within and from without the nation in addition to “own” dominant national ist elite.

  • Interventions by the Roman Republic in Illyria 230 – 167 BC
    Interventions by the Roman Republic in Illyria 230 – 167 BC Submitted by Jack James Willoughby, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics, September 2018. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ……………………………………………………………………………… Page 1 of 181 Abstract This thesis aims to determine how and why Rome undertook a series of interventions in Illyria during the period of 230 – 167 BC. The thesis is based on a detailed examination and consideration of the ancient written sources and the subsequent historiography on the subject. The Roman interventions in Illyria during this period have traditionally been treated as a component of wider studies of Roman expansion, although Rome’s involvement in Illyria has recently been examined by Dzino in his 2010 work Illyricum in Roman Politics 229BC-AD68. This work examined the development and integration of Illyricum in Roman political discourse, in which the Roman interventions were a smaller component in the broader study. A study of the Roman interventions in Illyria during the period of 230 – 167 BC has never previously been treated on this scale, nor effectively with a synthesis of the various approaches and pieces of evidence that are now available.

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.

The Main Chapel of the Durres Amphitheater: Decoration and Chronology Abstract The amphitheater at Durres in central Albania is one of the larger and better preserved amphitheaters of the Roman world, as well as one of the eastern-most examples of the amphitheater form. Nonetheless, it is not for its Roman architecture that the building is best known, but its later Christian decoration, specifically, a series of mosaics which adorn the walls of a small chapel inserted into the amphitheater's Roman fabric. First published by Vangel Toçi in 1971, these mosaics were introduced to a wider scholarly audience through their inclusion in Robin Cormack's groundbreaking 1985 volume Writing in Gold.
