Illyrians, as successors of the Pellazg and predecessors of Albanians, were among the oldest and autochthonous inhabitants of the Western Balkans, from the river Danube branches, rivers Sava and Drava in the North, to the Ambrakia Bay (Preveze) in the South; and in the east they also populated Western Macedonia. Historic literature and different maps, especially geographic and ethnographic maps, published during the centuries, witness best about the position of the territory and Albanian ethnicity in this part of the Balkans. This paper analyzes, main cartographic material (especially geographic and ethnographic maps) published in different times, and through them assesses spatial spreading of the Albanian territory and occupation of a vast part of the territory by neighbor countries.

    ISSN2039Ͳ2117MediterraneanJournalofSocialSciencesVol.3(7)April2012 Impact of "Normale" Educational Centre A Significant Factor in the Development of Education in Albania Dr. Jani Sota Faculty of Education University "Aleksander Moisiu", Durres Abstract: The history of education has valued preciously all people involved in it and has flourished into an educational function, teaching and learning of our thorough knowledge in its institutions - such as "Normale" Educational center that played an historic role in the Albanian language. Albanian normal schools have a record of long, difficult, but also glorious path. They were the main homes for generations of teachers and also the place where it was necessary to prepare the framework for education and awareness of the nation. Albanian teachers, in different periods of history had run the greatest risk of extinction of national culture and education. They planted the sound seeds by which had brought the essence of national awareness, which in a century struggle of unparalleled trials tried to revive education, science, culture and Albania. In the history of Albania teachers and veterans of teaching, wherever they worked and acted, played the leading role, contributed as they could with their valuable works, which undoubtedly served to their students, future teachers, in raising subsequently the national level of conscience for their learning and teaching. Key words: Normal school, education, culture, teacher-students, pedagogic thinking, Albanian territory. Introduction Albanian Normal School has a record of long, difficult, but glorious path. Its purpose was to prepare the necessary framework for education and awareness of the nation.

  • Interview with Flamur Gashi
    INTERVIEW WITH FLAMUR GASHI Pristina | Date: January 23, 2016 Duration: 72 minutes Present: 1. Flamur Gashi (Speaker) 2. Erëmirë Krasniqi (Interviewer) 3. Donjeta Berisha (Camera) Transcription notation symbols of non-verbal communication: () – emotional communication {} – the speaker explains something using gestures. Other transcription conventions: [ ] - addition to the text to facilitate comprehension Footnotes are editorial additions to provide information on localities, names or expressions. Part One Erëmirë Krasniqi: Introduce yourself, and can you tell us about early childhood memories, family, birthplace? Flamur Gashi: I am Flamur Gashi, born in Peja and raised there until a certain age. Then, years outside Peja follow. I was born in Peja, in a middle class family. My father was a teacher, my mother was a housewife. We are six children in our family: three brothers and three sisters. We have been through life challenges just like most Kosovar Albanians. The history of my family is a little more interesting, more different, not to say more interesting and different than the one of the others. My father was born in Albania, while my mother was born in Peja. My children were born in Albania and I was born in Peja, my wife was born in Albania. So, it is a beautiful combination between official Albania and Albanian lands outside Albania and Kosovo. The origin of my family most likely is in Niš, but somewhere around 1785-‘86, when there was a big flow of Albanians, because of Serbian repression and violence happened, they moved and came to the let’s say, a central Albanian area, somewhere in the region of Peja, in Banjë of Peja and in Peja, then to be able to constantly move between Albania and Kosovo.

  • “Liberation of Kosovo” Among Albanian- Speaking Activists in Switzerland
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by RERO DOC Digital Library Memories of the “liberation of Kosovo” among Albanian- speaking activists in Switzerland Narrating transnational belonging to the nation Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences, University of Neuchâtel, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor in Social Sciences by Romaine Farquet Approved by the doctoral committee: - Prof. Janine Dahinden, University of Neuchâtel, Supervisor - Prof. Ger Duijzings, Universität Regensburg, Germany, Committee Member - Dr. Stephanie Schwandner-Sievers, Bournemouth University, United Kingdom, Committee Member - Dr. Thomas Lacroix, CNRS and Maison Française d’Oxford, United Kingdom, Committee Member Defended on 24 June 2019 University of Neuchâtel Abstract The Albanian-speaking population living in Switzerland mobilised massively on behalf of the national cause in Kosovo in the 1990s. After the end of the conflict, that saw the departure of the Serbian forces from Kosovo (1999), some of the Albanian-speaking activists from Switzerland returned to their homeland. Many others remained in Switzerland, where they largely diminished or terminated their homeland engagement. Since the end of the war, very little attention has been paid to these former champions of the national cause in Switzerland. Furthermore, there is also very little literature on the memories of the mobilisation in Switzerland and the related discourses of belonging to the “Albanian nation”. The situation differs in Kosovo where several researchers have analysed the memorialisation of the recent past. This dissertation explores the narratives of homeland engagement related by Albanian-speaking former activists who engaged on behalf of the national cause in Kosovo from Switzerland in the 1980s and 1990s.

  • Papiruse Dashurie Azem Baliaj
    Papiruse dashurie Azem Baliaj Papiruse Dashurie Poezi 2 Azem Baliaj Papiruse dashurie Autor: Azem Baliaj Redaktor: Lulzim Logu, Gjon Neçaj Recensent: Besart Ramiz Tafaj Korrektore letrare: Elona Capo Design & Kopertina: Hekuran Koka Poezi © 2018 Azem Baliaj 3 Papiruse dashurie PAPIRUS ABSURD Azem Baliaj, gjithmonë i ka besuar spontanitetit dhe është dëfryer me lirinë e paskaj të ideve dhe mendimeve të tij, të cilat më pas është ngutur t’i ndajë me miqtë e tij më të mirë dhe t’ua rrëfejë të besuarve të zemrës. Ka besuar dhe ëndërruar te fuqia e artit, edhe atëherë kur kjo fjalë ka pasur tjetër kuptim. Shumicën e kohës së vet jetësore, fizikisht është marrë me diçka tjetër, ndërkohë që në mendje dhe shpirt luhej tjetër “lojë”, ajo e poezisë dhe e teatrit, dy ëndrrat e sirtarit, të cilat provoi t’i shtyjë dhe t’i jetësojë realisht, pavarësisht mundit dhe sakrificave. Poet i ndjeshëm, detajist i çuditshëm, romantik dhe me forcë të pashtershme motivesh dhe vrulli metaforik, ai me modesti, por me besim solid, ia ka arritur të dalë përtej çdo gardhi provincial dhe të befasojë me prurjet poetike, si dhe me prozën e shkurtër plot ngarkesë emocionale, por edhe me dramat e komeditë interesante. Aktor i lindur i humorit, në skena të improvizuara, por edhe në skena dinjitoze, edhe vetë jetën e tij e kalon çdo ditë në filtrin e humorit, duke i dhënë atij efekt çudibërës ndaj stresit modern dhe shpesh, harrimit të artistit në de- korin ndonjëherë mizor të sistemit ku jetojmë. Nostalgjia tek Baliaj nuk është rikthim pas, por një ele- ment që frymon në të sotmen e tij aktive.

  • A Guide to Names and Naming Practices
    March 2006 AA GGUUIIDDEE TTOO NN AAMMEESS AANNDD NNAAMMIINNGG PPRRAACCTTIICCEESS This guide has been produced by the United Kingdom to aid with difficulties that are commonly encountered with names from around the globe. Interpol believes that member countries may find this guide useful when dealing with names from unfamiliar countries or regions. Interpol is keen to provide feedback to the authors and at the same time develop this guidance further for Interpol member countries to work towards standardisation for translation, data transmission and data entry. The General Secretariat encourages all member countries to take advantage of this document and provide feedback and, if necessary, updates or corrections in order to have the most up to date and accurate document possible. A GUIDE TO NAMES AND NAMING PRACTICES 1. Names are a valuable source of information. They can indicate gender, marital status, birthplace, nationality, ethnicity, religion, and position within a family or even within a society. However, naming practices vary enormously across the globe. The aim of this guide is to identify the knowledge that can be gained from names about their holders and to help overcome difficulties that are commonly encountered with names of foreign origin. 2. The sections of the guide are governed by nationality and/or ethnicity, depending on the influencing factor upon the naming practice, such as religion, language or geography. Inevitably, this guide is not exhaustive and any feedback or suggestions for additional sections will be welcomed. How to use this guide 4. Each section offers structured guidance on the following: a. typical components of a name: e.g.
