TIRANA, August 12/ATA/ The 42nd international seminar on the Albanian language, literature and culture, organized in August by the University of Prishtina, coincides this year with the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the University of Prishtina itself.
The University of Prishtina was founded in the same year, 1974, but there were periods of interruption due to the political situation in Kosovo.
In addition to the eight lectures, which will be presented by foreign albanologists and local researchers, there are also planned 67 presentations and scientific presentations by linguists, historians of literature, culture and civilization.
Among the lecturers, eight are academics, external members or honorary members of the Academy of Sciences of Albania: Francesco Altimari, Leonardo di Savoia, Jose M. Floristan, Rexhep Ismajli, Mehmet Kraja, Kujtim Shala, Victor Friedman, Shaban Sinani.
There are also members from the research-scientific institutes of the network of the Academy of Sciences: Enklejda Kapia, Ledi Shamku-Shkreli, Merita Sauku-Bruçi, Mimoza Shqefni, Edmond Cane, Klara Kodra, Vilma Proko.
Shaban Sinani has been invited to hold, on August 22, 2024, the lecture “A comparative look at social literature in the Balkans in the period between the two wars”.
In this lecture, he is expected to present systematic arguments on the existence of a common pan-Balkan trend in the development of literature in the 1920s-1930s, despite the fact that in different studies it appears with different names (“avant-garde”, ” “lost generation”, “left futurism”; “late futurism”, “literature of decadence”). /p.s./
