"Tourism governance in post-war transition: the case of Kosova" Shqiperim Reka A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Sheffield Hallam University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2017 Abstract The aim of this research study was to examine tourism governance in post-war transition with specific reference to the influence of political, economic and social factors, institutional arrangements, collaboration and power relations. Within this context, a crucial objective was to assess the role of mindset. Reviewing the literature in relation to the key concepts, it was discovered that research tends to focus on political and economic transition, whereas the social dimension, despite its importance, is largely neglected. Similarly, tourism governance has been overlooked in studies of tourism in post-war transition. Furthermore, the literature on tourism governance rarely takes the issue of mindset into account. To address these gaps in knowledge, a qualitative research approach was applied to study tourism governance in post-war transitional Kosova.

    VOICES ACROSS THE OCEAN: 5 RECORDED MEMORIES AND DIASPORIC IDENTITY IN THE ARCHIVE OF GIUSEPPE CHIAFFITELLA Nicola Scaldaferri In this chapter, the topics explored in the book are approached from a new perspective, deriving from the analysis of a private archive, dating from the twentieth century, which includes written texts, photos, films and, above all, sound recordings. Thanks to these media we can retrace the story of an immigrant who, especially through his recordings of songs and voices of distant relatives, was able to reinforce the sense of community among emigrants in the USA. In this case, the community is no longer a local one, confined to a single village or a small regional circuit, but a diasporic community whose identity must be understood on a wider transnational scale. Music and sound continue to play a crucial role in giving a meaning to its identity thanks to their strong evocative function and nostalgic component (Pistrick 2015). However, in addition to music-making practices, an even more important role is that of sound recordings. Emigrants who recorded on tape voices, musical instruments or church bells were able to offer them to their diasporic community through the magnifying glass of acousmatic listening, whereby sound is sepa- rated from its original source, to ‘focus the listener on some intrinsic feature of the sound’ (Kane 2014: 29). In this case, the sound itself, now separated from its source and confined to a new magnetic sup- port, becomes more powerful and evocative, with an emotional charge which sometimes can be even stronger than its live performance.

  • Ready! Steady! Go! May 28 - June 4, 2000 Strasbourg (F)
    NEWSPAPER European youth preparation for the UN World Conference Against Racism in the European Youth Centre of the Council of Europe Ready! Steady! Go! May 28 - June 4, 2000 Strasbourg (F) Monday 29 May 2000 Tuesday 30 May 2000 Wednesday 31 May 2000 Thursday 1 June 2000 Friday 2 June 2000 REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE Monday 29 May 2000 The first impressions of the first day - Strasbourg Definitely we didn't have time to feel tired after long travelling yesterday and short sleeping tonight. The conference started promptly. I must admit I didn't expect it. First we had to build up our knowledge about United and the Organizing Group, so we heard many useful information to use after the conference. We got a list of joined organisations (I believe around 500 is the correct number) so we won't have many work finding the best solution for (our) problems. More about United you can find on the internet. I CARE is the web page where you can participate in discussion about racism and other kinds of intolerance. These are also the main themes at the conference. So, my friends from Slovenia (and other countries), be on line and communicate with us! Do you know the difference between Council of Europe and European Union? Take a look at web: www.coe.fr and www.europa.eu.int and then write to [email protected] . The winner gets a free meal in the centre (instead of me). At first it seemed to be boring but it turned out an interesting introduction.

  • Singing Back the Kurbetlli – Responses to Migration in Albanian Folk Culture As a Culturally Innovative Practice
    Eckehard Pistrick: Singing back the kurbetlli – Responses to migration in Albanian folk culture as a culturally innovative practice Singing back the kurbetlli – Responses to migration in Albanian folk culture as a culturally innovative practice Eckehard Pistrick Martin-Luther-University Halle/Université Paris-Ouest-Nanterre, [email protected] Abstract The massive ‘brain-drain’ which has afflicted Albania after 1991 in almost all cultural fields affected also to a large respect the folk culture. A state-sponsored system of cultural houses spread all over the country collapsed. State-supported folk culture ceased to exist for a transitional period. Villages with a once vibrant tradition of multipart singing became emptied and muted, without songs. The cultural landscape had to reorganise itself. Within this process of the reorganisation of cultural institutions returning migrants played a decisive role. Money from returning migrants resulted in the creation of mostly privately sponso- red shoqeritë, promoting regional cultural heritage. The social absence of the migrants became culturally felt. The folk repertoire of songs turned into a tool for responding and commenting on human loss as well as on tragic events such as the drowning of Albanian migrants in the Strait of Otranto 1997 or the hijacking of Flamur Pisli 1999. The leading figures of this culturally highly innovative practice were local intellectuals calledrapsods who tried to relate the nostalgic mythistory of kurbet before the 2nd World War with the actual mass migration through a shared emotionality. Through a highly effective use of metaphors and performance devices taken from oral folk poetry and the repertoire of death laments they show the ability to react and comment on the present migrations and to fix them in the memory of the community.

  • 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.

Aurela Kadriu: We’re talking about your life, then if in a particular moment it connects to Prishtina. Zenun Çelaj: I am Zenun Çelaj, I come from a northern village in Montenegro, Vuthaj, valley of Plava and Gucia. A very historical area and natural beauty. Very rare, beautiful. Not because it’s my hometown, but because it is. Other people have also said this. I come from a family of shepherds, they had a lot of sheep. We were a big family and I’m practically the first to get an education in my family, which had over 60 members scattered across the border. I’m talking about Montenegro and Albania, since the village was located like that, it had the properties there. At that time there were no borders, then the borders were created and we didn’t see our relatives there for decades, nor did we know about their lives, nor about their fate as they didn’t for us.

It reflects events he lived through, his personal impressions, and gives conclusions, which provide lessons for all periods, drawn from the hostile activity carried out openly or behind the scenes, against our National Liberation Movement, our people's revolution and socialist Albania by the Anglo-American bourgeoisie. 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. These memoirs now being published, were written in 1975. The book is available in Albanian and several foreign languages. 3 I A LITTLE HISTORY Albania — a token for barter for the «Brit- ish Lion».

Friedrich Ebert Foundation’s publications cannot be used for commercial purposes without a prior written approval. 2 Social Media and their use by Albanian Media The Internet has brought about significant changes to the Albanian media echosystem too. The number of communication and information actors and platforms in the country has multiplied. The ways in which information is produced, consumed and disseminated have also changed. Besides traditional media, social media are assuming an increasingly greater role in the process of informing the public. For traditional media, these new media are being formed as new channels of connecting to audiences and distributing content. Yet, social media appear also as an important channel for the dissemination of content produced by users and the broader public. This study takes it upon itself to present a general overview of the development of online media and social media in Albania, focusing particularly on how professional media outlets use social media. The empirical research focused on monitoring me most widely used social media in Albania, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google+, Instagram and the blogosphere, as well as the six leading online media in Albania, namely top-channel.tv, balkanweb.com, shekulli.com.al, panorama.com.al, albeu.com, and shqiptarja.com.
