Juxtaposition and Improvement in Retranslating “Romeo and Juliet” Into Albanian to Be Downloaded from Commentary 2 in LCPJ
Kadija, Refik 2014: Juxtaposition and Improvement in Retranslating “Romeo and Juliet” into Albanian To be downloaded from www.lcpj.pro Commentary 2 in LCPJ Juxtaposition and Improvement in Retranslating “Romeo and Juliet” into Albanian [Paper submitted at the International Symposium “Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in European Culture” held at the University of Murcia (Spain) from 19 to 21 November 2014.] The tragedy “Romeo and Juliet” was first translated into Albanian some sixty years ago by Alqi Kristo. Until October 2014 it was the only translation of “Romeo and Juliet” that existed in Albanian. Although Kristo was not an English graduate and was basically self-taught in English, this first translation has certainly undeniable merits. The Albanian text was used for reading by the university students for several decades. It was used as the basic text for the production of this tragedy on stage. It was first produced in 1964 by the students of the Drama School of the Academy of Arts in Tirana. It was then produced in March 2011 by Teatri Metropolitan “Shekspir” in Tirana. This first translation was published several times in separate and collected editions in Albania and Kosova (Kosovo). Reassessment of Shakespeare’s Works in Albania I started the retranslation of the tragedy “Romeo and Juliet” into Albanian in January 2014 and finished it on July 5th 2014. This second Albanian translation of “Romeo and Juliet” was published in October 2014. The retranslation of the tragedy “Romeo and Juliet” was undertaken for several reasons: Volume 7/2, 2014 79 © LCPJ Publishing Kadija, Refik 2014: Juxtaposition and Improvement in Retranslating “Romeo and Juliet” into Albanian To be downloaded from www.lcpj.pro • I have been teaching English Literature for more than forty-five years at Albanian universities. -

This project was supported by three peers at UCCK; we would like to extend our thanks to Dr. Dijon Musliu, Flaka Shoshi, and Berat Fazliu. The research process and final product benefited substantially from ongoing support provided by Dr. Ronald G. Shaiko and Anne Sosin from Dartmouth College. We thank the health practitioners, administrators, policymakers, and other stakeholders who volunteered their time to participate in interviews and welcomed the research team with hospitality. Finally, we thank the Ministry of Health for considering these recommendations to inform evidence-based policymaking and improve the quality of life and death in Kosovo. -
