The Albanian Autobiology (Models of the autobiographical prose in the contemporary Albanian literature)

Abstract

The Albanian contemporary autobiographic prose represents an important bulk in Albanian prose in general, especially when it is requested to analyze its models. The autobiographic prose, here, without summarizing it in simply one specific modus, lays from one genre to another, in order to be seen as a variation of life and narration. From here we reap practices and notions with which we operate during the analysis of some autobiographical models, with strong emphasis on autobiographic prose such as Big projection (I. Kadare), the discursive autobiographical prose (I. Kadare), the automaieutic autobiographical prose (P. Marko), auto ideography (A. Demaci), semi-autobiography (R.Dibra), hypertextual autobiography (B. Shehu), and memoaristicks (Z. Pllumi). Poetika is described upon concepts and theories discussed by various European and Anglo-American school theorists, whereas models are illustrated and analyzed with concepts that are already talked about in poetics, continuously acknowledging the text‟s anatomy, writing authe nticity and author's identity in relation to the narrator and the character. Keywords: autobiographical prose, narrative autobiographical genres, autobiographical project, discursive autobiography, auto maieutic autobiography, hypertextual autobiography, semi-autobiography, auto ideography, memoaristics etc.
