Arnavutluk'taki Osmanli Dönemi Mimarisinde
Uluslararası Sosyal Araştırmalar Dergisi / The Journal of International Social Research Cilt: 10 Sayı: 54 Yıl: 2017 Volume: 10 Issue: 54 Year: 2017 www.sosyalarastirmalar.com Issn: 1307 -9581 http://dx.doi.org/10.17719/jisr.20175434613 ARNAVUTLUK’TAKİ OSMANLI DÖNEMİ MİMARİSİNDE EDİRNEKARİ BEZEME ÖRNEKLERİ EDIRNEKARI ORNAMENT SAMPLES IN OTTOMAN PERIODICAL ARCHITECTURE OF ALBANIA ∗ Metin UÇAR ∗∗ Serkan İLDEN Öz Bu çalışmada, Arnavutluk’ta Osmanlı döneminde inşa edilmiş olan yapıların içindeki ahşap yüzeyler üzerinde bulunan edirnekârî bezemelerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu çerçevede Arnavutluk genelinde yaptığımız araştırmada tespit edilen bezemeler motif ve üslup özellikleri teknik açıdan incelenerek Anadolu ve Balkanlardaki benzer örnekleri ile karşılaştırılarak değerlendirmeye çalışılmıştır. 17. Yüzyıldan itibaren Osmanlı dini mimarisinde hünkâr mahfilleri ve mahfil tavan altlarında yakın mesafelerde kullanılmaya başlanan edirnekârî tekniği, Arnavutluk’ta 18. ve 19. yüzyıllarda dini ve sivil mimarideki ahşap eleman üzerine uygulanmış olduğu görülür. Arnavutluk’ta günümüze kadar gelebilmiş olan edirnekârî bezemelerin en iyi örneklerine, Tiran Ethem Bey Camii ahşap minberi ve kadınlar mahfilinde karşılaşılmaktadır. Doğal çiçek motiflerinden oluşan süslemelerde zemin rengi olarak kırmızı mavi ve sarı tercih edilmiş üstüne de lake çekilerek daha parlak ve canlı bir görünüm kazanması sağlanmıştır. Berat Şeyh Hasan Halveti Tekkesi, Ergiri Zekâtlar Konağı ahşap tavan yüzeylerinde, dolap yüzeylerinde, pencere pervazlarında bulunan edirnekârî süslemeler daha gerçekçi bir şekilde işlenmiş olan çiçek ve meyve tasvirlerinden oluşmaktadır. Arnavutluk’ta tespit edilen edirnekârî işlerinin Edirne’de ve Anadolu’da görülen örneklerinden daha farklı bir üslup ve teknikle yapıldığı görülmüştür. Özellikle renk ve biçim anlayışının bölgeye özgü halk sanatı etkileri taşıdığı ayrıca geometrik motifli bezemeler yerine bitkisel motifli bezemelerin tercih edildiği açıkça görülmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Balkanlar, Arnavutluk, Süsleme, Edirnekari, Edirne İşi. -
THE MOUNTAIN VILLAGE of RAZËM Figure II-0.1 – Razëm on the Map of Albania
PART II THE MOUNTAIN VILLAGE OF RAZËM Figure II-0.1 – Razëm on the map of Albania. CHAPTER II.0 General overview Villages Administrative Administrative Municipality Region Units Offices Vrith-Razëm Shkrel Koplik Malësi e Madhe Shkodër Razëm is a hamlet of the mountain village of Vrith, which is only 4 km away (Fig. II-0.1). After the administrative reform in 2015, Vrith became part of Malësi e Madhe, the northernmost of the Albanian municipalities and as such, a border place. This pe- culiar geographic location – mountainous isolation on the one hand, and the constant threat from neighbouring nations on the other – also resulted in the creation and de- velopment of specific social and cultural phenomena. Two examples worth mention- ing are the traditional rhapsodic chants based on the Eposi i Kreshnikëve1 (a cultural heritage of inestimable value) and the celebrated collection of customary laws gath- ered in the Kanun code2. Razëm lies within the Regional Natural Park of Shkrel (established as a protected area in 2014) and is considered the ‘gateway’ to the Western Albanian Alps. Together with the villages of Reç e Bogë, Razëm forms a triad of great interest from the point of view of tourism (Figs. II-0.2 and II-0.3). The Alpine area on which it stands is characterised by a vast network of trails and a series of high-altitude pastures (bjeshkë) with numerous mountain hut settlements 1 The chants of the oral tradition collected in the Epos narrate stories inspired by the wars against the enemies who came from beyond the Serbian border. -
The Impacts of Hiv Aids on Families and Communities in Albania
European Scientific Journal November edition vol. 8, No.26 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 THE IMPACTS OF HIV AIDS ON FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES IN ALBANIA Dr. Xhevdet Zeka Elda Gjergji, PhD Candidate Monika Hodaj, PhD Candidate University of Elbasan “Aleksander Xhuvani” Abstract: Since HIV was first identified in 1983, over 65 million people have been infected, of whom 25 million have died. In the past 20 years HIV/AIDS has become an increasing global phenomenon. In countries hard hit by the pandemic, morbidity and mortality have risen and are expected to continue to rise. The implications of rising morbidity and mortality are not only that HIV/AIDS is changing the demographic structure of the household but also that it is taking a heavy toll on the socio-economic well-being of households and communities. These socio-economic effects are largely borne by individuals, households, and communities with little, if any, support from the technology change community and policy maker. This paper will discuss the ways in which HIV/AIDS could potentially devastate governments, economies, relationships between younger and older population and the other parts of society. It will also identify political and social challenges faced by the global effort fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The study made use of secondary data sources, supplemented by survey of a selected group of Albanians who are engaged in AIDS’ research and relief issues. Findings revealed that AIDS has had a major impact on the relationships between the younger and older populations in the affected areas in Albania. It has considerably increased the caregiving responsibilities and challenges faced by the older population at the time when they are supposed to be receiving care. -

The attempt has been made to present all emendations subsequent to the editio pri?iceps ; but a few repeated misspellings of proper names and similarly obvious corrections are not reported. A few of the emenda- tions of the princeps have been included exempli gratia. The apparatus of Giarratano (Titi Livi Ah Urhe Condita Libri XLI-XLF, Rome, 1933) has been constantly consulted, but not always followed. The maps are intended to show the location of all places mentioned in the volume, if the location is known. Kiepert's Atlas Antiquus has been used in preparing these maps ; places not located by Kiepert have a question-mark following the name. Where the name is spelled by Kiepert in a way conspicuously different from the Livy text, the Kiepert spelling will be found in parentheses in the Index. The map of Rome is taken from O. Richter, Topograpkie der Stadt Rom, Miinchen, Beck, 1901 (Iwan MuUer, Handbuch, III, 3), by kind permission of the pub- lishers. -

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. -
Interventions by the Roman Republic in Illyria 230 – 167 BC
Interventions by the Roman Republic in Illyria 230 – 167 BC Submitted by Jack James Willoughby, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics, September 2018. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ……………………………………………………………………………… Page 1 of 181 Abstract This thesis aims to determine how and why Rome undertook a series of interventions in Illyria during the period of 230 – 167 BC. The thesis is based on a detailed examination and consideration of the ancient written sources and the subsequent historiography on the subject. The Roman interventions in Illyria during this period have traditionally been treated as a component of wider studies of Roman expansion, although Rome’s involvement in Illyria has recently been examined by Dzino in his 2010 work Illyricum in Roman Politics 229BC-AD68. This work examined the development and integration of Illyricum in Roman political discourse, in which the Roman interventions were a smaller component in the broader study. A study of the Roman interventions in Illyria during the period of 230 – 167 BC has never previously been treated on this scale, nor effectively with a synthesis of the various approaches and pieces of evidence that are now available.
