  • Vetevendosje
    Lund University STVK01 Department of Political Science Tutor: Anders Uhlin Vetevendosje A minor field study of the Kosovo Albanian resistance movement Ghazal Delafrouz Abstract Vetevendosje is a Kosovo-Albanian social movement which main political demand is self-determination. Social movements most commonly disappear or get institutionalized when reaching their political aim. What is interesting is that Vetevendosje did not follow this pattern. Even though the prime minister of Kosovo declared independence on the 17th of February in 2008, Vetevendosje is still alive and vital. A minor field study was carried out in Kosovo with the purpose of creating deeper understanding for how Vetevendosje managed to survive the political scene of Kosovo. Interviews, informal conversations and observations made it possible to study how political opportunity structures have influenced Vetevendosje’s activities but also the choice of framing strategies, how successful these are and why. When looking closer on the movement’s history, close connection to the civil society, their different actions and campaigns, it is not difficult to discover why they are still alive and remain as a significant political agency in Kosovo. Key words: Kosovo, social movement, Vetevendosje, political opportunity, framing Words: 10086 Table of contents 1 Introduction .........................................................................................................1 1.1 Purpose and delimination ................................................................................1

The Development of the Concept of “Public Space” in Tirana Eduina Zekaj Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, Polytechnic University of Tirana, Albania Abstract. The term “public space”, also known as urban space is a pretty old phrase, but was used as e concept with a clear definition during the modern era. The evolution of this term is well known in Tirana, because of its constant development especially in the recent projects. The first attempts started in 1914, but by that time there did not exist a real concept of the public space, which accordingly was affected by the citizens’ lifestyle. Public spaces in Tirana have changed a lot since then by recreating the concept of “public use”. There are many examples of squares, streets and parks which have gone through the process of change over the years and have affected people’s lives.

  • Queering the Migrant in Contemporary European Cinema
    16 Curating queer migrant cinema Interview between Sudeep Dasgupta 1 and James S. Williams JAMES S. WILLIAMS (JW) : How did you become interested in the broad field of queer migration, and could you define your dual approach as theorist and activist? SUDEEP DASGUPTA (SD) : The academic field was determined by my location – wherever I find myself, that’s the starting point from which my interests develop. I was struck by two things when I moved to Amsterdam from the US [University of Pittsburgh] in 1997: I had the sense of being out of place and in the wrong time. Firstly, a strange combination of xeno- phobia with discourses on women’s rights and gay and lesbian rights. That produced a feeling of discomfort, since one presumed that if one was a feminist or queer activist, then xenophobia was not part of one’s programme. Further, the discourse of feminism and gay rights was often articulated by the state and by institutions of the Dutch state unlike in the US, of course. The situation in the Netherlands was quite different. Here, women’s and homosexual rights were institutionalised in a way that had not happened in the US. This sense of being out of place and out of time was connected to my previous research in the US where I began my Ph.D on Hindu nationalism in India. I was in the US watch- ing a documentary on the massacres in 1992 of Muslims in Bombay, my hometown, and finding it incomprehensible how that could have hap- pened. Being out of place in a place one is taught to belong to and yet not really belonging in was crucial for me.
