European Journal of Literary Studies ISSN: 2601 – 971X ISSN-L: 2601 – 971X Available on-line at: http://www.oapub.org/lit doi: 10.5281/zenodo.1481955 Volume 1 │ Issue 2 │ 2018 A SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE ALBANIAN NOVEL Gjylë Totaji PhD candidate, Faculty of Philology, University of Prishtina, Kosovo Abstract: This study, entitled "A brief overview of the Albanian novel", aims to investigate the history of the development of the novel genre in Albanian literature. It is a short historic view of this genre, where the most essential points of formation of which are touched, from the first novel to the contemporary. Trying to give a glimpse of the story of the Albanian novel, besides beginning the cultivation of this genre in our literature, we have also talked about the novel written during our national and post-Renaissance period, about the novel written after the end of the Second World War, the Albanian novel, written and published in Kosovo, as well as the novel written in Albania after the collapse of the dictatorial communist system. So we tried to include almost all literary and historical periods, so that our brief panorama is more clear and comprehensive. In a word, we tried to make a genre history that is great for studying our literature, especially the Albanian novel. Keywords: Albanian novel, brief overview, genre history, comprehensive overview 1. Introduction The formalist researcher, Mikhail Bahtin considers the novel as the only genre always being in the process of developing, and never as a completed one.”ii According to this point of view, however, we can say that even our novel is a literary structure that is taking shape differently every day. -

World War II, WWII)
E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 3 No 6 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy November 2014 The Positioning of the Albanians towards the World Conflict (World War II, WWII) Dr. Moisi Kamberi Universiteti “Aleksandër Moisiu” Durrës [email protected] Doi:10.5901/ajis.2014.v3n6p397 Abstract Albanians started their resistance on 7 April in 1939. Italians were received by guns by the Albanian people. The Albanians of Kosovo and Çamëria were willing and determined to come to the protection of “their motherland”. The evidences demonstrate the great sacrifices that Albanians had made while fighting against the fascists troops; they suffered great material and economic damages. The sacrifices of the Albanian people beyond what were the borders of Albania in 1913 are most evidenced as they fought to crush the Nazi troops in the regions of Montenegro, Sanxhak, Bosnia and Slovenia. Understantig and tolerance have been characteristic features of the Albanias during World War II, as has been the case throughout the history of the Albanien people. Althpungh during the 1939-1944 period the Albanianes were involved in a specific, extremely complicacated, and frequently contradictory situation, they managed to manifest, not only the characteristic mutual tolerance, but also in Naturally the Albanian nation joined the great antifascist coalition, likewise rendering a relatively considerable contribution along with the other nations. In this respect, the Albanians were promtend by the mere reason that such a position should be assumed in view of the pan-national and regional interests involved, the target being the establishment of a post-war free and unified Albania, as well as the establishment of the Balkan characterized by peace, understanding, and collaboration. -

The Status of Albanian in Relation to the Other Balkan Languages
DOI: 10.11649/sm.2015.012 Slavia Meridionalis 15, 2015 Instytut Slawistyki PAN Bardh Rugova University of Prishtina The Status of Albanian in Relation to the Other Balkan Languages From 1972, i.e. when the standardisation of the Albanian language took place, the Albanian language went through three different sociopolitical stages that had an impact on its development. The first stage was the one that began in 1972 and lasted until the beginning of the nineties when the transition from totalitarianism to democracy took place in Albania and former Yugoslavia, two countries with the largest number of Albanian speakers. During this first stage, the Albanian language was a secondorder language in Kosovo, whereas the official language, i.e. the language of prestige and the language used in government cusiness was SerboCroatian, even though a lot of attention was given to the Albanian language especially in Kosovo. The second stage covers the period from the 90’s until the war in Kosovo – the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia and pluralism in Albania. During this period, the apparatus that was taking care of standard Albanian and controlling it in Albania was not that active; in addition, the termination of television This work was supported by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology of the Republic of Kosovo.
