Koncepti dialogjik ndaj tjetrit në veprën e Kadaresë
The dialogic concept toward the other in the works of Kadare

Summary/Abstract: This article aims at emphasizing the dialogic concept toward ‘the other’ as depicted by Kadare in his work as a way of creating universal art and facing the severe communist regime. Through the inclusion and metaphorization of ‘the other’, Kadare manages to erupt not only Albanian isolation but also the stylisttic boundaries and the literary infertility of socialist realism. In an ambiance which attempted to dissemble literature through appointed works in service of daily political interests, through his vision of ‘the other’ Kadare managed to prove the superiority of art, firstly by saving language and thought from Orwellian deterioration. This vision of Kadare will be seen through thematic selection in his oeuvre such as the world beyond, the world of dreams, the world of the past, of mistery, but also through the point of view of the narration which, instead of aiming at an objective narrative which transmits the full truth, it transmits unfinished and limited versions of events, through vague and undefined characters that go beyong the limits of ‘the other’. The concept of ‘the other’ in this study will be interrelated to the postmodern view of Derrida regarding the binary oppositions in which Western metaphysics relies upon and in which one of the oppositions is priviledged and defines The Other as the inferior element. Consequently, the self turns into the final source of meaning, thus creating a logocentric mode of thinking or the assumption of a final source of the truth. This study analyzes the dialogic narration of Kadare which liberates the reader from the cuffs of a final assumption, of a decisive thought and of dogmatic language.
