Declinare l'identità albanese tra categorie universali e categorie etiche

Abstract

In this paper we will consider social and cultural markers that have traced the identity boundaries of Albanian nation. We will focus on two different types of identity markers: universal categories, such as ethnicity, language and religion, and ethical categories such as personal and family honor, respect, hospitality, courage, right conduct. In a different way, they all contributed to declining the identity of the people and legitimizing the formation of the state.
