La giornata di studi “L’Albania indipendente e le relazioni italo-albanesi, 1912-2012” si è svolta il 22 novembre 2012 presso Sapienza Università di Roma, in occasione della ricorrenza del centenario della dichiarazione d’indipendenza dell’Albania. Realizzato nell’ambito del progetto PRIN 2009 “Imperi e Nazioni in Europa dal XVIII al XX secolo”, e grazie all’impegno del CEMAS (Centro di ricerca “Cooperazione con l’Eurasia, il Mediterraneo e l’Africa Subsahariana”) e del Dottorato in Storia dell’Europa, il convegno ha avuto il patrocinio del Ministero degli Esteri della Repubblica Italiana, del Ministero degli Esteri della Repubblica d’Albania, dell’Ambasciata della Repubblica d’Albania presso la Repubblica Italiana, dell’Ufficio Storico dello Stato Maggiore dell’Esercito e dell’Archivio di Stato di Tirana. Studiosi italiani e albanesi hanno proposto le proprie analisi dei principali temi della storia dell’Albania e delle relazioni italo-albanesi con l’obiettivo di fornire alla comunità scientifica e all’opinione pubblica strumenti utili e validi di riflessione e giudizio. L’intenzione comune dei partecipanti è stata quella di dare il proprio contributo, in occasione di un anniversario così importante per lo Stato albanese, alla conoscenza e alla comprensione della difficile storia di un Paese che condivide con l’Italia antiche e salde relazioni e molteplici interessi: economici, politici e culturali.

The ethnographies collected here offer a surprising and compelling picture of change in Russia and Eastern Europe found in no other book to date. Looking at the everyday processes by which individuals and groups forge new lives, the authors challenge the idea that we can understand this transformation by the predictable models_whether capitalism, post-socialism, modernity, or postmodernity. The collection brings together a wide-ranging group of authors from sociology, anthropology, and political science to reveal the complex relationships that still exist between the former socialist world and the world today. Through evocative ethnographic research and writing, they bring to light the unintended consequences of change and show how the 'slates' of the past enter the present not as legacies_but as novel adaptations. Often what appear as 'restorations' of patterns familiar from socialism are something quite different: direct responses to the new market initiatives. By showing the unexpected ways in which these new patterns are emerging, this book charts a new and important course for the study of post-socialist transition.
