The religious symbolism in contemporary Albanian short-stories

Summary/Abstract: Religious symbolism in Albanian short story, began with the M.Kuteli’s work. His tradition was interrupted until 1990, in Albania. The “absence of spirit”, as Z.Çela called it, was replaced with ideology, propaganda, that promoted hate for religious symbols and clerics, in ideological short stories. In other hand, in the same period , the religion was present in the writing pieces of Kosovo and Diaspora’s authors. A.Pashku’s and T.Dervishi’s symbols, allegories, analogies are related with Old Testament. Descriptions techniques of arbëresh writer Francesco Solano (Dushko Vetmo), are similar to Genesis book. Life style of his characters and events goes through byzantine rites. K.Mehmeti and T.Keko integrates the image of prophet, a spiritual mentor that appear in difficult social situation, to give perspective and hope to peoples. M.Meksi and Z.Çela, after 1990, began to use the epiphany as: the manifestation of Christ and belief, also as narration technique, a moment of sudden and great revelation or realization. All the authors, that we make references, present religious symbolism, as narrative technique, image, figure, to treat universal themes, concerns and conflicts.
