Traditional and Contemporary Elements in Albanian Folk Music Sheholli, Bahtir This study is an account of characterizing traditional and contemporary elements in our popular folk music. It is stressed that some of the forms containing elements of the old musical tradition are pertaining to work, the calendarian cycle, the farming tradition, the ballads, the legendary epic ones, the love songs, etc. Also discussed is the distinction that has emerged in the recent musical tradition as a result of the use of electronic devices. These distinctions as segments of the recent creations in our folk songs can be seen in many artists of the present and are achieved by mixing the elements of our ancient tradition with elements from other countries, so that there is influence of Orient, Turkish – Arab, Roma, Greek and Slavic music. In addition the novelties in Albanian musical creativeness are discussed, which, compared to European one, have specific eleme-nts. Some professional estimotions with critical connotations about negative features of present folklore among are also being done.

New Tendencies in Visual Arts of Kosova – From narration to conceptualism Nimani, Shyqri The modern art was brought to Kosova during the 1960s-1970s by the first generations of Albanian creators, who graduated from art academies of main art centres of former Yugoslavia – Ljubljana, Zagreb and Belgrade. These creators will enter in the history as pioneers of Kosovar modern art. Some of these artists made attempts to develop authentic styles and doctrines. Some others, on the other hand, who did not manage to avoid the influences of their paedagogues, remained, unfortunately, under the Bacon and Chagal influences. The most characteristic representatives in painting are: Nysret Salihamixhiqi, Muslim Mulliqi, Xhevdet Xhafa, Engjëll Berisha, Adem Kastratit, Esat Valla; in sculpture: Agim Çavdarbasha and Agim Rudi; in graphics: Gjelosh Gjokaj, Fatmir Krypa, Agim Salihu and Ymer Shaqiri; in applied arts: Agush Beqiri Nuredin Loxha Simon Shiroka, Shyqri Nimani and Violeta Xhaferi. After the 1970s, new media art, as a category on its own, appeared. The word group contemporary art refers in general to the art being done now. A special feature of contemporary art are the issues that are often treated under the influence of concepts representing in the today’s world terms such as: cloning, politics, economy, sexuality, races, ethnities, human rights, war, poverty etc. with a special effort in performances, instillations and videos, exceeding thus completely the conventional limits.

Albanian Language and English Loanwords Today Nuhiu, Vesel This paper first of all deals briefly with the present situation of the Albanian language pointing out the failure to respect the standard language norm. The paper is then mainly concentrated on the phenomenon of borrowing English language elements by the Albanian language. It emphasizes the large number of loanwords that have penetrated into Albanian after the war in Kosova, with the coming of international governmental and non-governmental organizations and by the social system change, as well as due to the impossibility to analyze and control those foreign words, most of them unnecessary, due to their furious coming in within a short time, but also due to the lack of readiness, either subjective or objective, of language institutions of the country to address loanwords in a proper manner. In compliance with this, respective measures are proposed to be undertaken for controlling the unnecessary loanwords. An additional part is offered in the paper, in which some loanwords that could be accepted are discussed justifying the proposals, and also suggesting for some of the unnecessary loanwords to be refused in Albanian.
