Avant de rédiger cet article, j’ai réfléchit si le titre devrait être ‘question albanaise’ ou encore ‘paradoxe albanais’. Comme historien de formation, le terme ‘question’ ne me plait pas, car il me rappelle une des épisodes les plus sombres de l’histoire contemporaine: la ‘question juif’ issue de l’imaginaire nazi. Puis, j’ai hésité avec ‘paradoxe’, car il y en a en effet une multitude de paradoxes associé avec l’Albanie et les Albanais; pourtant, je trouve que le terme ‘malaise’ décrit de manière plus nuancée la situation actuelle et le cas historique d’une nation toujours aussi méconnue par nos confrères et consœurs Européens, inclut en ce qui concerne la vaste majorité de mes propres concitoyens helvétiques. 

Ornela Domi: Figura e Prometeut në dramaturgjinë e I. Kadaresë

Abstract

The reconsidering of the Prometheus myth by Ismail Kadare writer in “Boring season in Olympus”has passed through the umnythification process and according to my opinion it has a cantemporean and modern addaption with the totilarist system of the Albanin reality. The author writes a drama with a proffesional level, as a specific genre on the reoutlineing of the ancient myth.This drama emphasises, Prometheus history reoccured in different time, different areas in Balkan in the neighbouring Albania too, even in all the countries living under totalitarist system, but the human revolution even though under the wildest dictatorship, always triumphs. The human civilisation finds the way to ilumination, knowledges, development, democracy and freedom of speaking. In this study, it is attempted to be shown not just the difficult way and the history of Prometheus god but even the softening of the relationship between the representatives (or people’ advocate) and his dictator leader. There are included sarcastic marks, irony, black humor, grotesque and stigmatization through tragedical reality. According to my opinion Hypnos, the God of sleep who reads the people dreams from the relationship with the truth is also the alterego of the writer.

Merita Toçila*: Veshjet Arbërore në pikturën Arvanite

As part of spiritual structure of Albanian people are arberesh’s and arvanite’s to shown and dedicated some pages of analysis of acts to some authors in the aspect of figurative art, especially those artists that had the attention the way and the national clothes. In these artists are the traces of love and the relation with the homeland of aborigines which can not be taken differently except of the clothe and the reflection of traditions as one of the bridges that keep them related with the past. The physical portraits of different ages, we could make comparisons with our clothes and the common features of two branches that start from the some root. Arvanit’s have generated artist’s names that have passed greek borders becoming the most prominent names of greek art. The time hasn’t stopped regarding the embracement of new streams of art and interpretation. But what remains part of our analyses is arvanites clothes and the way how it is conveyed. One of the most wonderful moments of this picture is the interpreted fustanela which is painted by the great arvanits painter, Nikos Egonopulos, put in surrealistic situations of costume by two great artists from Çamëria, Abedin and Ali Dino and their point of view over the new capitalist’s developments.

Kur bëhet fjalë për pikturë shqiptare nuk mund të anashkalojmë artistët arvanitas si një grupim që bën pjesë në strukturën shpirtërore dhe kulturore shqiptare. Informacionin e plotë mbi krijimtarinë e këtyre autorëve e jep studiuesi Aristidh Kola në periodikun “Besa” dhe më pas “Arvanon” publikuar prej shoqatës së arvanitasve në periudhën midis viteve ’80-’90-të. Tek veprat e këtyre piktorëve të bie në sy tërheqja drejt rrënjëve dhe kjo ndjehet fuqishëm sidomos tek disa prej tyre të cilët kanë trajtuar gjerësisht tematikën, motivet, por sidomos veshjen shqiptare.
