Gjurmë të një Hierogamie kozmike në Strukturën përmbajtësore të disa Përrallave

Author(s): Izaim Murtezani / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 45/2015

This paper tries to address the subject of hierogamy, or its tracks that can be detected within the content of some Albanian tales. It is known that the classical hierogamy means the sacred marriage between deities with opposite principles, namely between the male who is identified with Heaven, and female identified with Earth. A hierogamy of this nature, in treated tales is realized between the sun and the moon as adequate substitutes of Heaven and Earth. The sun, but also the moon is presented in the role of a married couple who communicate sexually between them and as a re-sult of this action affect childbearing by human couples who have problems in having descendants. These children, because they are the fruit of an extraordinary birth, re-spectively of the impact of the sun and the moon at their birth, are meant to possess superhuman traits.

Dritëro Agolli, prêtre de Dionysos

Author(s): Aleksander Zoto / Language(s): French Issue: 01/2015

Tout entiere ouverte sur la rumeur du monde, l’oeuvre poétique de Dritëro Agolli se déploie, en ses phases successives, comme une rhapsodie ou symphonie inachevée - et pour cause – aux harmonies typiquement albanaises mais aux résonances universelles. Recueil après recueil et par-delà les visées particulières de chacun, elle exalte en l’homme le roi de la creation, mais un roi complice de toutes les forces et vies constitutives de son royaume, et en cela elle se place, peut-on dire, sous le signe de Dionysos.

Botimi i Trilogjisë “Albanika” të Arshi Pipës, gjatë vitit të kaluar (2013), nga Shtëpia botuese “Princi” e Tiranës, ishte një lajm i mirë për dashamirësit e mendimit letrar shqiptar, meqë deri në këtë kohë kjo vepër trepjesëshe ishte vetëm në gjuhën angleze.

URA ME TRI HARQE – NDËRLIDHJA ME ORALEN

Author(s): Blerina Rogova Gaxha / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 44/2014

The story of Ismail Kadare widely extends in time and space. He moves from today, in historical and legendary time and space. In this narration structure, Kadare's work often puts correspondence with Albanian oral literature and culture. The novel “The Three – Arched Bridge” has been chosen in order to notice the presence of oral tradition, its layer in the construction of authorial text and the function of intertextual ideas from this source. Built on a legend, the novel speaks for sacrifice, life and death as opponents, and the crossing of two cultures, of Occidental and Oriental one, as two worlds, between which, Albanians, their history, culture and identity are always put in war. This text, as a text lying on another text, requires reading of signs that establish this correspondence. On the basis of a legend, Kadare recycles also a historic time, giving them a new form in literature, creates a medieval Albanian reality, a reality that parables with reality and our lives. The paper is based on the narrative structure of the chosen model.

VEÇORI TEMATIKE DHE STILISTIKE TË POEZISË SË AGIM DEVËS

Author(s): Violetë Bardhi-Zeqiri / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 44/2014

Agim Deva’s poetry has enriched children's literature with themes and motifs, creating thematic particularity, with environmental, game and drug themes, cultivating fable poetry and enigma poetry. The treatment of fable poetry came as a result of the use of dialogue, plot, narration, as elements of narrative creations. In this case, Deva’s poetry functions in the form of the narrator character. The presence of narrator character is realized well, when dealing with the description, while when the author narrates on behalf of children character, there is realized the dialogue that creates emotion, contains plot, rhyme and rhythm. Another characteristic of Deva’s style is the treatment of the animal world, nature and of the seasons, through the figure of personification. Besides personification, he uses allegory, which both are considered as two dominant figures in children's literature. He knows very well children’s world, knows dreams, imagination contained in this literature for fulfillment of cognitive, educational, entertaining and aesthetic function. Agim Deva is the embodiment of the writer and the child, the synonym of the poet. The children’s Albanian literature cannot be thought without presentations, commonalities and the peculiarities of his literary creativity. Children’s Albanian literature, cannot be understood as the full without Agim Deva as part of the most proven literary values of children's literature.

LA CONTRIBUTION DU PRo EQREM ÇABEJ A L'ETUDE DE LA CULTURE POPULAIRE ALBANAISE

Author(s): Qemal Haxhihasani / Language(s): French Issue: 01fr/1981

On August 13, 1980, at a time that he had just completed 72 years and was at the top of his faculties, the leader of the Albanological Sciences, the instructor of the People, the Academician, Prof. Eqrem Çabej left us. The loss of this eminent figure of Albanian science left a void not only in the field of linguistics, but also in that of popular culture, to which he had given a not less important contribution. Çabej's studies in the field of ethnology and folklore concerned fundamental questions of these disciplines, which he studied with erudition. He did not discuss the information on the subjects, the motives, the aesthetic values of the genres, but went into the essence of the phenomena of Albanian popular culture, considered them with the sagacity and the logic of the man of science, analyzed them on their distinctive features and on the regularities of their historical evolution. Çabej painted an exact panorama of the Albanian folk world, the spiritual constitution of the Albanian people, their customs and traditions, the various kinds of our heritage of folklore.

SHTJEFEN KONSTANTIN GJEÇOV - EMINENT PATRIOTE ET SPECIALISTE DE LA CULTURE POPULAIRE

Author(s): Zojzi Rrok / Language(s): French Issue: 01fr/1981

The list of great individuals fallen for the nation does not only include those who fought with arms, but also those who fought by pen to defend the rights of the Albanian people and fell on the fields of honor. They have written with their blood brilliant pages of national history. A place of honor, among them, also given to Shtjefën Konstantin Gjeçov. The Albanian people highly esteemed the work of Shtjefën Gjeçov. A striking testimony of this appreciation is the number of publications of an obituary character at his anniversary. The Party of Labor of Albania and the people's power raised to its pedestal the work and the heroism of Gjeçov. The People's Assembly decorated Gjeçov with the Medal for Remembrance and the Tirana CP Executive Committee perpetuated his memory by baptizing one of the streets of the capital named Konstantin Shtjefën Gjeçov.

Un essai de périodisation de l'oeuvre de Kadaré

Author(s): Shaban Sinani / Language(s): French Issue: 02/2010

Ismaïl Kadaré occupe une place centrale dans la littérature albanaise de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. Il est sans doute l’écrivain qui a soulevé le plus de controverse aussi bien dans son pays de naissance qu’en Occident. Et cela s’explique. Dans le cas de Kadaré, la littérature n’est pas seulement une affaire de lecture, mais aussi une affaire publique. Le roman L ’Hiver de la grande solitude, par exemple, a été accueilli par plus d’une année de campagne dans la presse, où ont participé de zélés surveillants volontaires de la ligne du parti, les responsables et les rédacteurs des maisons d’édition, les écrivains et les journalistes, des représentants des bureaux chargés de la propagande dans la presse, les fonctionnaires du parti communiste et de l ’Etat. Ce roman a inspiré des centaines de lettres et d’articles, publiés notamment dans l’unique hebdomadaire littéraire et dans le journal de la jeunesse, jusqu’au moment où Enver Hoxha en personne s’est prononcé en déclarant qu’on l’avait exagéré et qu’il fallait s’en arrêter là...

Les « Études historiques » du Professeur Buda

Author(s): Kristaq Prifti / Language(s): French Issue: 02/2010

La commémoration du centenaire du Professeur Aleks Buda, organisée par l’Académie des Sciences d’Albanie, rend hommage non seulement à cette figure éminente de la science et de la culture albanaises, mais encore à la tradition historiographique aux fondations de laquelle réside sa précieuse contribution. Comme l’ensemble de son activité scientifique en Albanie et à l’étranger en tant que président de l’Académie des Sciences, ses Shkrime hisîorike (Études historiques) parues en quatre volumes incarnent les traits de sa personnalité. Êlles constituent aussi une synthèse de l’histoire de la nation albanaise au fil des siècles, avec toute sa complexité, ses événements les plus marquants et les personnages qui ont influé sur l’évolution de la société, les côtés positifs et les faiblesses, les alliés et les adversaires. Cette synthèse n’était possible qu’à un scientifique de son envergure, rare non seulement sur le plan national, mais aussi sur le plan balkanique, compte tenu de son érudition et de sa profonde connaissance de la culture et des études européennes dans le domaine de l’albanologie.

Lazër Shantoja: “Per nji puthje të vetme”

Author(s): Alfred Çapaliku / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 01-02/2016

The breathtaking poem with thrilling strings "For a Single Kiss", though coinciding with the taste of the youth of that time, who liked the style of Lazër Shantoja, expressed in a modern and elegant way, was nevertheless published under pseudonym. This particular literary-artistic event happened not to reveal in public the priest, whose promise of pure celibacy was not allowed to fall in love.

BRIKOLAZHI NARRATIV

Author(s): Ag Apolloni / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 47/2017

The Narrative Bricolage” is a study on four novels of Ridvan Dibra (The Nude, In Search of the Lost Child, The Legend of Solitude and The sleep on the Snow), who in the first novel ironizes phallocentrism, putting in front of each other the capture and defeat; in the second he plays with narcissism, seeking his lost paradise, or his childhood; in the third one builds a new variant (Bala) over an old myth (Hamlet, Orestes); in the fourth he shows the risk of sleeping on the snow, or the risk of inattention in the dictatorship. In the first two decades of his creativity (1989-2009), Dibra’s fiction is characterized by ultra-postmodernism, and since 2010, exactly with the work In Search of the Lost Child, the author makes a turn, enriching his fiction with new elements and new sensibility. Even though he has written poems and plays, Ridvan Dibra in Albanian literature has created a clear and complete profile with experimental fiction. He makes homage to the postmodernist model by following it and enriching it with new elements and sensibility. His fiction shows that he is a great experimentalist author who represents a type of literature: lab literature. There is nothing that cannot be made a fascinating literature in Ridvan Dibra's lab, which, therefore, approves the Schopenhauer’s opinion that the business of the novelist is not to relate great events, but to make small ones interesting.

BETOVENI SIPAS NOLIT

Author(s): Gëzim Aliu / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 47/2017

Beethoven is a great personality of the history of human culture and Noli, in his work "Beethoven and the French Revolution", makes a powerful analysis of his character and his artistic and cultural activity. But since Noli also considers the legends (and contradictions between biographers) that are written about him, Bethoveni, in his book, is also transformed into a literary character, in a legend that "is intended to be verified", thus "deconstructed" by Noli's research. Thus, in our paper, as it has already been seen, Betoveni was also analyzed as a literary character, in fact, as a literary figure, built little by little by the eloquent Noli pen.

ORALITETI NË VEPRËN DRANJA TË MARTIN CAMAJT

Author(s): Zahrie Kapllanaj / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 47/2017

Martin Camaj's work Dranja was published in Munich, in 1981. It is a text with a different poetics in relation to the foregoing texts of Albanian literature. It is written specifically to counter them. The texts in Dranja, which are called madrigals, are written in prose, function separately, but also as pieces that together make a symbolic and palimpsest mosaic. Intertextuality can be investigated and studied everywhere. This is cautioned in the title of the work, subtitling, preposition; in the form of writing: where poetry, prose, madrigal, myth, and fairy tales coexist. The main communication Dranja has with Albanian folk literature. This study was taken precisely with the mapping of these interconnections. In most cases the deheroic code creates an opposition to the mythical and fantastic code (which has long prevailed in Albanian folk and written literature). The new text uses the old text to create new poetics, but also to mark its preservation within itself as a shadow, as a breath. This phenomenon creates the poetics of the palimpsest, and the poetics of Dranja too.

URAT TEKSTORE MES KAPITUJVE TË KRONIKË NË GUR TË KADARESË

Author(s): Muhamet Peci / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 47/2017

In this paper we analyze some specific parts of the novel Chronicle in Stone of Ismail Kadare, such as: the untitled italic texts and the other texts that stand under some different titles that are called: Fragment of a chronicle, Old Sose’s news (in lieu of a chronicle), Words of unknown persons, Draft of a memorial plaque, which lie outside the basic text structure, which consists of 18 chapters. The relation of these texts with the basic text is relative. Although the texts are related to one another, it can be said that those that are not included in the chapters structure can also stand as digressions, because even if they are completely eliminated, they would not endanger the status of the basic text. But, on the other hand, their existence carries an important role in the novel's poetry, also arouses interest in analyzing the way that different narrative models are used in these texts.

“Always Bayram, Always Easter”: The Call for Albanian Civic Unity in Gjergj Fishta’s The Highland Lute

Author(s): Ismet Bujupaj / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

Gjergj Fishta’s verse narrative, Lahuta e Malcis (ca. 1907) is often regarded as the national epic of Albanians. The epic produces a fresh vision of the shared cultural identity of Albanians by telling the story of their struggle for independence blended with elements of regional and local culture which had never before entered into high literary language. The paper argues that Fishta creates a national epic not just by the events he narrates in the poem but also by the language and imagery he uses. The poem’s language puts Albanian modes of expression into high literature, depicts Muslim and Christian Albanian practices in a manner that emphasizes their common ground, and utilizes Albanian folklore such as the mythological creatures called zana and ora, which lie outside both the Christian and Muslim religions, but are closely associated with the land. In emphasizing the Albanian land, language, and culture, Fishta’s epic poem crafts a civic Albanian identity that embraces Albanian religious diversity and transcends sectarian identifications. In light of budding extremist movements in Kosovo and Albania, it is important to continue to produce relevant analysis of Fishta’s vision for Albanian civic unity, transcending divisions of religious affiliation.
