Накратко на български

Селските пейзажи в Албания, включително остатъците от принудителната индустриализация и колективизацията, се документират и анализират. Това помага за разбирането на социалното и културно наследство от социалистическия период и начина, по който то се променя днес.

Materializing Modernity - Socialist and Post-socialist Rural Legacy in Contemporary Albania

In many European countries, 20th-century provided an opportunity for shaping new rural landscapes and architectural ideas converging on the vision imposed by diverse ideologies. The pre-existing rural landscape underwent reshaping processes that were reflected in tangible transformations and interventions. At various times, many countries demonstrated all the difficulties involved in addressing the memories, material culture, and societal impact attached to those modernisation processes, and the tangible remains left in the present. The aim of the “Materializing Modernity – Socialist and Post-socialist Rural Legacy in Contemporary Albania (MaMo)” project is to explore, document, and argue around a significant, difficult legacy in the rural areas of Albania, South-East Europe. Albania is considered a case study due to its past regime’s nationalistic emphasis that condemned the country to the hardships of its self-reliance under forced industrialisation, urbanization, and land collectivisation policies. The socialist modernisation processes left evidence in the landscape, recalling failed economic policies and encompassing cultural, societal, anthropological, and historic values and memories, which are progressively becoming more difficult to be recognized and processed, whilst post-socialist imprints are reshaping the countryside. Building on an interdisciplinary methodology based on the collection, elaboration, and critical interpretation of multiple data, MaMo aims at investigating and documenting, for the first time, the Albanian Socialist rural legacies in the post-socialist contemporary present. The overall objectives of the project converge on the main purpose of contributing to the actual debate on ways of recognizing, documenting, assessing, and reinterpreting these significant shared Albanian-European rural legacies, to discuss and place the Albanian case study in the main framework of the wider European studies on modernist rural architecture and landscapes.

Цел на проекта

MaMo is a research project that focuses on Socialist rural architecture and landscape and its Post-socialist legacy in the Albanian countryside, aiming at (1) investigating how the communist ideology materialized in the Albanian rural territorial and architectural planning; (2) analysing the current condition of the former agricultural cooperatives and state farms settlements and how they relate with the compelling informal post-socialist transformation; (3) proposing a multi-level and interlaced understanding of Socialist modernism and its contemporary transformation through local rural communities perceptions and experiences. Further, by producing a novel scientific contribution in the academic research fields of contemporary ethnography and anthropology, modern architecture and landscape planning and history, and critical cultural heritage studies, MaMo intends (4) to constitute a national and international platform to discuss and place for the first time Albania in the framework of European studies on modernist rural architecture and landscape. In fact, as for many European states during the 20th-century, Socialist Albania planned, adopted and implemented large scale development and agricultural plans to modernize its rural areas. Crucial to the nation and state-building policies, those plans provided a trial opportunity for new landscape and architecture ideas converging on the vision imposed by the regime. Through a multidisciplinary research-through-training approach based on the collection, processing, and critical interpretation of visual data and multiple narratives, MaMo will systematically explore and document for the first time the Socialist modern rural architecture and its Post-socialist legacies in the Albanian countryside.
