Literatura polska w języku albańskim

Albania is a small country in Europe, which was under Turkish occupation for nearly five centuries. It did not regain its independence until 28 November 1912. During the occupation there was almost no foreign literature translated into Albanian, as more than 85% of the population were illiterate and in general there were no scientific institutions or schools. The first primary school was opened in 1887. Only in the 1920s, with the emergence of intelligentsia, world literature started to be translated into Albanian, which included Polish literature. However, the translations were not done from the Polish language but from Italian translations of it. The first Polish literary work translated into Albanian from Italian was the Nobel prize winner Henryk Sienkiewicz’s novel, Quo Vadis? (in 1933). The book was translated for the second time in 1999. The translation of Polish literature into  Albanian gained momentum after World War II, and especially after 2000. So far, nearly 55 books by 34 Polish authors have been translated into  Albanian, including Adam Mickiewicz (among them his great work, Pan Tadeusz), Henryk Sienkiewicz, Boleslaw Prus, Czesław Miłosz, Wisława Szymborska, Olga Tokarczuk, Ryszard Kapuściński, Tadeusz Różewicz, Witold Gombrowicz, Fr. Marcin Czermiński, and  others. At the same time, 8 Albanian authors wrote books on Polish topics in Albanian. Apart from the Albanian translators from Albania, Polish literature has also been translated into Albanian by Albanians from Kosovo. In comparison with other European countries,  Albania is a leader as far as the number of Polish books translated is concerned. Polish literature in Albanian is generally popular among Albanian readers. Some of the books are published for the second, or even after the third time.Albania jest małym krajem europejskim, który przez prawie pięć wieków znajdował się pod okupacją turecką. Swoją niepodległość uzyskała dopiero 28 listopada 1912 r. Podczas tej okupacji prawie nie istniała literatura obca tłumaczona na język albański, ponieważ ponad 85% ludności było analfabetami; nie funkcjonowały też instytucje naukowe i szkoły. Pierwsza szkoła podstawowa została otwarta w roku 1887. Dopiero w latach 20. XX w., wraz z wyodrębnieniem się warstwy intelektualnej, w Albanii rozpoczął się przekład literatury światowej na język albański, włącznie z polską literaturą, lecz nie z języka polskiego, ale przeważnie z języka włoskiego. Pierwszym dziełem literatury polskiej przetłumaczonym na język albański z języka włoskiego w roku 1933 była książka noblisty Henryka Sienkiewicza pt. Quo Vadis. Powieść ta została przetłumaczona po raz drugi w roku 1999. Rozwój tłumaczeń literatury polskiej na język albański rozpoczął się jednak dopiero po II wojnie światowej, szczególnie po roku 2000. Do tej pory przetłumaczono na język albański prawie 55 polskich książek napisanych przez 34 autorów, m.in. Adama Mickiewicza (np. jego wielkie dzieło Pan Tadeusz), Henryka Sienkiewicza, Bolesława Prusa, Czesława Miłosza, Wisławę Szymborską, Olgę Tokarczuk, Ryszarda Kapuścińskiego, Tadeusza Różewicza, Witolda Gombrowicza, o. Marcina Czermińskiego i innych. Jednocześnie ośmiu autorów albańskich napisało w języku albańskim książki o polskiej tematyce. Oprócz albańskich tłumaczy z Albanii literaturę polską na język albański tłumaczą nadal również Albańczycy z Kosowa. W porównaniu z niektórymi innymi krajami europejskimi liczba polskich książek przetłumaczonych na język albański jest znaczna. Literatura polska w języku albańskim cieszy się popularnością wśród czytelników albańskich. Niektóre z książek są wydawane po raz drugi, a nawet trzeci

Do período pré-colonial aos dias atuais: um levantamento histórico a respeito dos Kayapó meridionais

Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação)O presente trabalho de conclusão de curso tem como intuito discorrer acerca da história indígena na região do Triângulo Mineiro, norte de São Paulo e sul de Goiás. Durante muito tempo, as populações indígenas foram neutralizadas enquanto participantes ativos de sua própria história. Os trabalhos documentais que os mencionavam atribuíam apenas a visão do não-índio e não consideravam suas características culturais bem como seus anseios. A história do contato foi marcada pelas características, em sua grande maioria, preconceituosa e subjetiva por parte dos “colonizadores”. Diante disso, e no caso desta pesquisa, procuramos fazer um levantamento completo da história indígena, analisando os processos de ocupação da região mencionada no período pré-colonial, com o auxílio da Arqueologia; a história do contato, observando e refletindo sobre ambos os lados, tanto dos indígenas como dos colonizadores, oferecendo uma nova interpretação a esse fato histórico, com o auxílio da Antropologia; como também, finalizando, com os destinos históricos dos grupos mencionados na documentação, após o contato, até os dias atuais. Assim, espera-se construir uma ampla nova história que abranja, em seus escritos, a participação ativa das populações indígenas no Brasil

Psychiatric morbidity and social capital in rural communities of the Greek North Aegean islands

Which facets of social capital affect mental health in rural settings? This study explores the association between different aspects of social capital and psychiatric morbidity in rural communities of the Greek North Aegean islands. A large number of individual and community characteristics which may influence psychiatric morbidity are concurrently examined in multilevel models to account for the clustering of individuals within rural settings. The current findings indicate that psychiatric morbidity is to a large extent clustered within rural communities. Individuals’ perceived divisions in the community, i.e., political party preference, landholdings etc., low social support networks and lack of perceived solidarity are associated with psychiatric morbidity according to theoretical expectation. At the community level this risk is lower in villages with over 250 residents, where there are youth clubs or a common threat, for instance, property crime

Socioeconomic inequalities in general and psychological health among adolescents: a cross-sectional study in senior high schools in Greece

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Socioeconomic health inequalities in adolescence are not consistently reported. This may be due to the measurement of self-reported general health, which probably fails to fully capture the psychological dimension of health, and the reliance on traditional socio-economic indicators, such as parental education or occupational status. The present study aimed at investigating this issue using simple questions to assess both the physical and psychological dimension of health and a broader set of socioeconomic indicators than previously used.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>This was a cross-sectional survey of 5614 adolescents aged 16-18 years-old from 25 senior high schools in Greece. Self-reported general and psychological health were both measured by means of a simple Likert-type question. We assessed the following socio-economic variables: parents' education, parents' employment status, a subjective assessment of the financial difficulties experienced by the family and adolescents' own academic performance as a measure of the personal social position in the school setting.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>One out of ten (10%) and one out of three (32%) adolescents did not enjoy good general and psychological health respectively. For both health variables robust associations were found in adolescents who reported more financial difficulties in the family and had worse academic performance. The latter was associated with psychological health in a more linear way. Father's unemployment showed a non-significant trend for an association with worse psychological health in girls only.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Socioeconomic inequalities exist in this period of life but are more easily demonstrated with more subjective socioeconomic indicators, especially for the psychological dimension of health.</p

Social Capital and Community Group Participation: Examining ‘Bridging’ and ‘Bonding’ in the Context of a Healthy Living Centre in the UK

Social capital has been widely advocated as a way of understanding and building community participation in the interest of health improvement. However, the concept as proposed by Putnam, has been criticised for presenting an overly romanticised account of complex community relations. This paper presents analysis from a qualitative evaluation of a Healthy Living Centre (HLC) in the North of England, to examine the utility of the concept of social capital in this context. We found the concepts of ‘bridging’ and ‘bonding’ social capital were useful – though not without limitations – in helping to make sense of the complexities and contradictions in participants’ experiences of community group participation. 'Bridging' helped provide an understanding of how the decline in shared social spaces such as local shops impacts on social relationships. 'Bonding' highlighted how community group membership can have positive and negative implications for individuals and the wider community. It was found that skilled group leadership was key to strengthening bridging capital. Politically, in the UK, community participation is seen as having an essential role in social change, for example, its centrality to the coalition government's idea of the ‘Big Society’. A micro-examination of this HLC using the lens of social capital provides a valuable critical insight into community participation. It shows that this kind of initiative can be successful in building social capital, given conditions such as an appropriate setting and effective leadership. However, they cannot substitute for other kinds of investment in the physical infrastructure of a community
