ROMANTIZMI DHE IDENTITETET E TJERA
ROMANTICISM AND OTHER IDENTITIES

Summary/Abstract: In contrast to the Middle Ages, also driven by the pre-romantic clash (the Enlightenment, mainly), romanticism would abandon religious tutelage and return to the belief in the human autonomy. The authority referred by romanticism is no longer the medieval (religious) authority of eternal culture, but the spirit of reconciliation of being with nature, knowledge and humanity. Likewise, the tutelage under which romanticism acts is no longer religious but historical and appears as a tendency for common rebirth. This rebirth, on the other hand, would not be possible without the profound transformation of medieval cultural consciousness into historical consciousness on commonality. This consciousness seeks national rise, while reviewing history as a reshuffle in a national project. The authority of the tradition slowly gets rid of religious dominance and its place is occupied by the authority of historical and cultural memory.
