The ‘proper’ name of Albania’s most beautiful Ottoman town is Berati, but road lamtumirë (goodbye) signs and many maps show ‘Berat’. The difference is because in Albanian grammar, the definite Official language Albanian form is ‘Berati’, meaning ‘the Berati’, while the indefinite form, eg ‘to Berati’, changes the spelling Population 3.56 million to ‘Berat’. So when a road sign reads ‘Berat – 25km’, it means ‘to Berati – 25km’. Make sense? We hope so. In this book, we have used the definite form for place names, even when it goes Telephone codes country code %355; against the usual foreign usage. ‘Durrës’ is nearly always used on maps printed outside the country international access code %00 rather than ‘Durrësi’. Names ending in ‘i’ and ‘u’ lose that letter in the indefinite form, eg Durrësi Visas no visa needed for citizens of the EU, becomes Durrës and Dhërmiu – Dhërmi; names ending in ‘a’ change to ë, eg Tirana – Tiranë and Australia, New Zealand, the US and Canada; Saranda – Sarandë, and names ending in ‘ra’ change to ‘ër’, eg Shkodra – Shkodër and Gjirokastra – see p82 for details Gjirokastër. Apologies for any confusion, we’re just trying to be consistent. 42 ALBANIA www.lonelyplanet.com www.lonelyplanet.com ALBANIA History 43 ALBANIA 0 60 km November and March, and towns such as in the mountains of northern Albania and ALBANIA 0 30 miles Lim Korça become icy.

Theme: Space, Place and Dwelling Space, Place and Dwelling is the theme of the Spring School that will be held in Tirana, Albania, for March 2018. Spatiality is an underrated but very fundamental aspect of both religious practice and religious reasoning. According to Tweed (2006), religious practice comes down to basically two forces: crossing and dwelling. Terrestrial crossing refers to physical movement, such as pilgrimage, certain spatial rituals, as well as spiritual travel indicating a movement across time and place. Corporeal crossing refers not only to the religious understanding of life cycles and modes of temporality, yet additionally the embodied limits and constraints in life as well as the concomitant registers of meaning provided by religion to confront them. Cosmic crossing refers to transcendental dynamics of boundaries, and to the religious language which provides meaning to crossing. One could also think of movement that is not religiously inspired, yet may well impact, notions of religion, such as migration and displacement due to religious reasons.

  • The Beginnings of Albanian Fine Art in the Republic of North Macedonia
    UDC: Review article THE BEGINNINGS OF ALBANIAN FINE ART IN THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA Mixhait Pollozhani Departament of Fine Arts, Faculty of Arts Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Albanian fine art in North Macedonia, which begins at the end of the 50s of the twentieth century, undoubtedly depended on the position of Albanians in the country, and not only appears with a great delay, initially it was also manifested with a limited quantitative and stylistic opus compared to the national artistic scene. It should be noted that currently there are used two versions of labeling related to the fine art work of Albanian Macedonian researchers. This entire issue is related to the question whether we can talk about Albanian national art in the Republic of North Macedonia. At first glance, it seems that there is no difference between these two formulations, yet essentially, they differ from each other. However, it is clear that this dilemma is unnecessary since now all the conditions fulfilled. Keywords: Albanian fine art, North Macedonia, founders ___________________________________________________________________________ Political, social and cultural circumstances in the country It should be reminded that the Albanian people during their history have experienced (a)symmetrical fate, be it within their own being or opposite other peoples. The appearance and development of fine art in the Republic of North Macedonia should also be viewedin the context of these circumstances. But Albanian art should not be viewed separately from the general social, political and cultural national developments. Every so often, the Albanians have lived similar fates even with other nations of the Balkan, particularly with the neighboring Slavic nations with whom co (habited) (and a part of Albanians continue to live together even today) for more than a century within the frames of the same Yugoslav state communities, by experiencing and surviving different regimes and political systems.
