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.

  • Myth and Antimyth in the Fictions of Socialist Realism in Albania
    ISSN 2411-9598 (Print) European Journal of May-August 2015 ISSN 2411-4103 (Online) Language and Literature Studies Volume 1 Issue 2 Myth and Antimyth in the Fictions of Socialist Realism in Albania Msc. Laureta Misiri [email protected] Abstract The process of formation of socialist realism in literary creativity goes hand in hand with the crystallization of social awareness "down", within the psychology of the masses and "up", with the strengthening ideological party institutes of state. Endless discourses among the circles of artists on this plane, so competent is the new artistic unity as "the soc-realistic method" that obtained the status of state doctrine. In 1936 the Soviet government undertook measures to implement the undisputed total soc-realistic method all the arts in the USSR. Socialist realism becomes the dominant term in the science of Soviet literature and art sciences from the thirties to mark "basic approach" which "requires the artist to introduce the concrete historical truth of reality in its revolutionary development", so the literature had to be created with the task of educating the workers in the spirit of socialism. The notion aesthetic "realism" was related to defining "socialist", brought the practice of literature and arts submission to ideology. Demands of using the socialist realism techniques in fact became an obstacle, an anxiety to halt creativity that for years was avoid against the spiritual life of the people, so the writers created in the majority mediokre works of conformist who became propaganda trumpets. In the late ‘80s realism becomes literary and historical term, but in the embryonic stage of many characteristics, the soc-realism literature is determined as "heroic realism", "monumental", "social", "biased" and as if the category of “folk" is the basic principle of a work of art where the mythical watches in the mirror its other part of the medal.

  • Una Mirada a La Literatura Albanesa
    « o: IRADA A LA ::::> ~ o: W liliERATURA ALBANESA 1- ...J RAM6N SÁNCHEZ LIZARRALDE a irrupción de Ismail Kadaré, allá por los años setenta, en la lite­ ratura europea desde la entonces aislada Albania, y la traducción de sus novelas ya a más de 40 lenguas, constituyó y constituye aún todo un fenómeno, relacionado naturalmente con la uni­ versalidad y el vigor de su obra, con las dimensiones de los valores que contiene, que la hacen valedera, al parecer, para toda la humanidad. Pero, como no podía ser de otra forma, el surgimiento de un escritor de tales proporciones, por mucho que se deba insistir en su individualidad, se produce en el seno de una lengua y una literatura que, si bien en el campo que nos ocupa no habían alcanzado hasta entonces tales cotas, habían dado muchas otras obras destacables, incluso memorables, con anterioridad y, desde luego, continúan produciéndolas ahora. Sin embargo, a diferencia de países como Francia, Alemania, Italia o Grecia, y como resultado de las específicas peculiaridades de nuestro sector editorial y de su público, en España se ha prestado escasa atención a otros autores albaneses de ayer y de hoy -como pusimos de manifiesto en una feliz reunión de escritores albaneses y traductores de esa lengua a otras europeas, celebrada recientemente en la ciudad de Shkoder-. Afirma esto quien, por otra parte, se ha ocupado no sólo de traducir al castellano la casi totalidad de los textos literarios albaneses que se han publicado por aquí, sino también de intentar convencer a editores y periodistas literarios de la existencia de un universo vital y estético como poco relevante en la lengua albanesa.

    SOCIAL (CIVIC) MOVEMENTS IN ALBANIA AN ANALYSIS ON CITIZENS' POLITICAL PERCEPTION AND MOVEMENTS CAPACITIES TO TRIGGER CHANGE 1 SOCIAL (CIVIC) MOVEMENTS IN ALBANIA AN ANALYSIS ON CITIZENS' PERCEPTION AND MOVEMENTS CAPACITIES TO TRIGGER CHANGE SOCIAL (CIVIC) MOVEMENTS IN ALBANIA AN ANALYSIS ON CITIZENS' PERCEPTION AND MOVEMENTS CAPACITIES TO TRIGGER CHANGE Author: Center for Economic and Social Studies (CESS) The author produced this report for the Westminster Foundation for Democracy. The views and opinions expressed in this report are that of the authors and do not reflect those of the Government of the United Kingdom or the Westminster Foundation for Democracy. Tirana, November 2020 FOREWORD This publication deals with a historic overview of the civic movements in Albania after ‘90s, provides a summary of movements in other countries, and dwells into the current landscape of these movements by more specifically analyzing only six of the current movements. The aim has been to look into their capacities, membership, activity level and to assess whether there is a possibility for them to mobilize support and trigger change into the democratization process in Albania. An important part of this report was to survey and measure citizen’s perception of accepting and following these movements. To note here is the fact that the current pre-election phase is a very dynamic one with various developments such as the emerging of new movements and/or political parties or ceasing of other ones. On one side, the public faith in politics and political structures has been eroded in the last years, and on the other side, the citizen’s activism has been fragmented in the best case.
