Summary/Abstract: The concept of the other in Albanian literature, the discourse on the other in Albanian literature or on the present unpresence, a random association of Umberto Eco’s suggestion, is one of the modern and postmodern landmarks as an optical verification from which the study of Albanian literature must begin its course. First of all, the term ‘other’ as ideology is the search for something which until now has been taken for granted, it has been presupposed in textologic situations without a further investigation of where it really is, and most importantly, without clarifying the condition of its presence as one of the most complex aspects. The other as an ideology in Albanian literature, in signifying a verification camera and not a symbol or a metaphor, would only complicate the vortex of looking at literature through literature, while there is another world that can be found in and out a literary text, i.e. of a literature. The other is within the text, and in the universe of the literary reality, which at times is in accordance with the presence of the literary value. The other is also on the outside; it is the context of the interrelation between the fate of the author, the book and all of literature, as an inquiry into the probabilities that made possible a text, that accepted or denied it, that discovered it as a model of value in the right time or in delay.
