The imaginary of the name
Year: 2005
Type: article
Abstract: In wide areas, including Albania, names were fixed as patronymics and \nfamily surnames, showing that their context fluctuation is related to a \nrelative transmissible fixity which must make possible an instrumental \npolitics in naming practice as well as the assertiveness of a kind of \nindividual agency, especially by means of nicknames. Such an emphasis on \nnaming practice and politics thus must lead us to understand the interplay \nbetween identity and power.
