Događanja CKPIS-a: Rory Archer: Albanci u Istri i ograničenja bratstva i jedinstva u kasnom socijalizmu
Nakon sedam predavanja u zimskom semestru Centar za kulturološka i povijesna istraživanja socijalizma pokreće novi niz javnih online predavanja u programu Ljetni semestar CKPIS-a. Prvi gost je Rory Archer, predavač na Sveučilištu u Konstanzu i voditelj projekta „To the Northwest! Intra Yugoslav Albanian migration (1953-1989)“ na Sveučilištu u Grazu. Na predavanju će govoriti o migracijama radnika Albanaca s Kosova i iz Makedonije prema Istri 1980-ih, u vrijeme kada je albansko nezadovoljstvo na Kosovu u ostatku Jugoslavije opisivano kao kontrarevolucija i iredentizam. Oprez i sumnjičavost prema doseljenicima primjećuju se u općinskim komitetima SKH, Službi državne sigurnosti i lokalnim medijima.
Predavanje će biti održano na engleskom jeziku u virtualnoj dvorani.

Albanians in Istria and the limits of brotherhood and unity in late socialism
In this talk I discuss ongoing research about Albanian migration from Kosovo and Macedonia to Istria during the 1980s. The 1981 demonstrations in Kosovo and the federative Yugoslav interpretation that Albanian discontent was inherently ‘counterrevolutionary’ and ‘irredentist’ coincided with the relatively large labour migration of Albanians to Istria. Local authorities and security services fretted about the presence of Albanians which was largely taking place outside of the conventional institutions of the party-state and self-management. Instead labour migration was structured by kin-networks, transnational migration patterns and private business. Despite the robust local interpretation of ‘brotherhood and unity’, documents from the municipal league of communists, security services and local newspapers present Albanians as a semi-racialized and potentially deviant category of citizens.
Rory Archer works as a lecturer at the University of Konstanz history department. At the Centre for Southeast European Studies, University of Graz, he leads the research project “To the Northwest! Intra Yugoslav Albanian migration (1953-1989)” supported by the Austrian Science Fund. His research interests are focused on the social, labour and gender history of Southeast Europe in the 20th century. Recent publications include a special section titled “New perspectives on East European Labor History” in the journal Labor: Studies in Working Class History (co-authored with Goran Musić, 2020).
