    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).

    STUDIA ALBANICA 2016/2 Matteo MANDALÀ ISMAIL KADARE TRA LA VERITÀ DELL’ARTE E L’INGANNO DELLA REALTÀ 6.– L’inverno del “loro” scontento (1973-1975) Per ammissione di Kadare, suffragata dalla moglie Helena, tra la fine degli anni Sessanta e i primi del decennio successivo, nell’opificio dello studioso erano in lavorazione più progetti, dei quali soltanto i due di cui ci siamo appena occupati riuscirono a vedere la luce, mentre la definitiva stesura degli altri e la loro pubblicazione – vuoi a causa delle coercizioni esterne, vuoi per una deliberata scelta dello scrittore –, furono procrastinate ben oltre la seconda metà degli anni ’70, quando in rapida successione apparvero riuniti in diverse raccolte nella forma di racconti brevi1. Tra questi ultimi meritano una menzione speciale due romanzi che, pur ispirati da vicende “moscovite”, per motivi diversi hanno ricoperto un ruolo molto importante per il futuro dell’opera e, si aggiunga, della vita di Kadare. Il primo è Muzgu i perëndive të stepës, che nel 1970 (dunque prima della pubblicazione di Kronikë) era già quasi ultimato2. La sua importanza è notevole perché, rievocando dalla medesima prospettiva critica l’altra tappa fondamentale della formazione del giovane artista, si configura come il naturale continuatore di Kronikë: se in quest’ultimo veniva rivisitata l’esperienza estetica primigenia e intuitiva preadolescenziale, in Muzgu saranno discussi con sagace maturità e anche con particolare gusto surreale per il grottesco alcuni paradigmi fondamentali dell’arte narrativa modernista, quali i concetti di tempo e di spazio, il ruolo 1 Helena Kadare, Kohë e pamjaftueshme.

  • HOME to Receive Global Online Premiere with Vimeo on World Refugee Day
    HOME to Receive Global Online Premiere with Vimeo on World Refugee Day June 20, 2017 Jack O’Connell and Holliday Grainger star in BAFTA winning short film Winner of Best Short Film at this year’s British Academy Film Awards, HOME will today receive a global online premiere on Vimeo. Starring Jack O'Connell and Holliday Grainger the powerful 20-minute short film was shot in three countries and has been released today to highlight World Refugee Day. HOME was released in the UK theatrically in 2016 and was broadcast on BBC earlier this year. The BAFTA winning film will be exclusively available to watch online globally for the next 7 days here. The ambition of the 20-minute film is to address the current refugee crisis and help drive global awareness to support UNHCR’s World Refugee Day today, Tuesday 20th June. Written and directed by BAFTA-winning director, Daniel Mulloy (BABY, ANTONIO’S BREAKFAST, DAD), HOME aims to remind the viewer that refugees are just like you or I - fathers, mothers, sons and daughters – for whom the meaning of the word “home” has undergone a traumatic re-evaluation. In addition, viewers are encouraged to sign the Refugee Day petition which asks governments to ensure education for children, safe housing, job opportunities and the chance for refugees to learn the necessary skills to support their families. HOME - As thousands of men, women and children attempt to get into Europe, a comfortable English family experience a life changing journey of their own. Actress Arta Dobroshi, Executive Producer of HOME says: “After living half of my life in war and half peace, what I know for sure is that I choose peace, and the world doesn’t need to go through another turmoil to realize that they choose peace.
