A Survey of Macedonian Literature in English Translation
A Survey of Macedonian Literature in English Translation “If I had an eagle’s wings I would rise and fly on them To see our shores, to our own parts…” From Konstantin Miladinov’s, “Longing for the South” Macedonian may arguably be the oldest written Slavic language as the basis for Kiril and Methodius' 9th century translations of Christian liturgical texts into what we today call the Old Church Slavic language. However, it is also the most recent Slavic language to receive official recognition and standardization after the establishment of the Republic of Macedonia as part of Yugoslavia in 1946. The number of literary works by Macedonian authors in English translation today is only surpassed by translations in Serbian and/or Croatian during the existence of the former Yugoslavia. Particularly since the full independence of the Republic since the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990's, the pace of publication of English language translations has increased dramatically. This is due in part to the large concentrations of Macedonian immigrants, numbering in the tens of thousands, in major cities throughout English-speaking Canada, the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom, and a dramatic increase in communication and collaboration among members of the Macedonian diaspora and Macedonians in the home country with improved means of travel and the effective spread of internet communication worldwide. I have participated in this process as the author of a doctoral dissertation published by the University Press of America in 1996, The 19th Century Macedonian Awakening, the life and works of Kiril Peichinovich, one of the earliest writers in the modern Macedonian language, and as the translator of a number of literary works, beginning with the short story "Tatko" by Zhivko Chingo, published in Short Story International in 1983 and most recently the novel The Legend of Kalesh Andja by Stale Popov, published by the Literary Association "Grigor Prlichev" of Sydney, Australia in 2005. -

At the end of the eighties, life expectancy at birth passed the boundary of seventy, although the country’s GDP per capita was $ 2500 in 1990, the lowest in Europe (Madison 1995).This puzzled scholars, who either doubted the success of Albania, or because of the lack of firm information, speculated with different explanations (Watson, 1995). This research was initiated by this controversy in trying to first, estimate the scale of Albania’s success in improving life expectancy and document the mortality transition in Albania during the period 1950-1990. -

While this is a common sense assumption, proven by extensive research also for the case of Southeast European nations, the spatial dimension of col lective commemoration and of the construction of national identities have been much less considered. As Pierre Nora and his collaborators have shown, modern nation states require “places” onto which they can pin historical com memoration and imagination (lieux de mémoire). In the course of modernisa tion collective memory lost its organic nature and is no longer reproduced au tomatically. Collective memory is not any more transmitted orally from one generation to the other but rather has become the endeavour of professional memory-makers such as historians and intellectuals2. In order to be compre hensible and meaningful to people, nationally significant historical events must be anchored in popular experience and consciousness. In this operation, locations and material items as well as rituals and other features of culture be 1 This paper results from our research project “Ecology, Organisation of Labour, and Family Forms in the Balkans.

E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 5 No 3 S1 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy December 2016 Teachers Civic Education and Their Methodological Skills Affect Student Engagement in Civic Participation Dr. Lindita Lutaj University "Aleksander Moisiu", Faculty of Education, Department of Pedagogy, Albania Email: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/ajis.2016.v5n3s1p336 Abstract Civic education is important, because the society needs people to contribute in the most effective way. The teacher plays an important role in encouraging pupils to civic actions. The aim of this study is find out the relationship between teachers civic education and their methodological skills in students civic participation. The statistical package of social sciences (SPSS 20) was used for data analysis. Questionnaires were administered to 34 teachers who give social education subject in 6th-9th grade and 414 students of these teachers, in Durres and Elbasan. The factorial analysis of the questionnaire on teachers civic education discovered two important factors: civic responsibility and civic values, while according to teachers’ methodological skills discovered three factors: the quality of the class, learning and student assessment. It was also observed that there is a positive relationship between teachers’ civic education and their methodological skills with students’ civic participation, which it was reported by teachers or perceived by students. There is a significant statistical relationship between teachers civic education and students civic participation: r = .40 (p <0:01), which is stronger than teachers methodological skills and students civic participation: r = .28 (p <0:01). According to the findings of this study should be increased teachers training programs at local and national level. -

A Dialogic Narrative Contextualisation of Liminal Identity
European Scientific Journal September 2019 edition Vol.15, No.26 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 Conversion and Memory: A Dialogic Narrative Contextualisation of Liminal Identity Katica Kulavkova, PhD Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts (MASA), Republic of Macedonia Jasmina Ilievska-Marjanovic, BA Independent Researcher, Republic of Macedonia Doi:10.19044/esj.2019.v15n26p26 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2019.v15n26p26 Abstract Ethnic and religious conversion is deeply engraved in the history and memory of the Macedonian people, yet it remains a painful taboo subject. The paper is interested in the treatment of this topic in the New Macedonian Novel, which brought this problem from the collective unconscious into the public dialogue and shed light on its reoccurrence today. The analysis focuses on the novel The Book of Heavens (2000) by Krste Chachanski since it is equally representative of the topic of conversion to Islam in the Ottoman past, the poetics of the New Macedonian Novel, and the Macedonian dialogic and liminal identity. The Book of Heavens is set at the end of the 18th century in mountainous Macedonia, the forsaken Balkan periphery of the Ottoman Empire. It is centred around Adnan Pasha, the bi-religious and bi-cultural Janissary from Macedonia, his internal turmoil, and his quest for becoming the ethical warrior of his wilful choosing. The novel is a meta-historical and multi-voiced parable of dialogism and liminality in the context of human cognition, identity, and culture. But it is also a mythopoetic and magical realist saga for the ethical warrior, for the Macedonian tragically split and persecuted identity, for the syncretic civilisational borders and peripheries, and for protecting the palimpsest memory of human culture. -
