Gjekë Marinaj (born May 26, 1965) is an Albanian–American poet, writer, translator and literary critic[1] who is also known as the founder of a form of arts criticism known as Protonism Theory.[2] Currently living in the United States, he was the first president of the Society of Albanian-American Writers,[3] established in 2001[2][4] and has published several books of poetry, prose and literary criticism. In 2008, Marinaj was awarded the Pjetër Arbnori Prize for literature by QNK, part of the Ministry of Tourism, Cultural Affairs, Youth and Sports of Albania.[5] In 2021, he was the recipient of South Korea's Changwon KC International Literary Prize[6] His writing and peacemaking work have received acclaim and many other honors in Albania and elsewhere in Europe, as well as in the U.S. and Asia.[7]

Early life and career

Born in 1965 in the Malësi e Madhe District of northern Albania, Marinaj started his writing career as a restricted correspondent publishing in a number of Albanian media outlets, first in local newspapers in Shkodër, then in a series of Albanian national publications including Zëri i Rinisë (The Voice of Youth), Luftëtari (The Fighter), Vullnetari (The Volunteer), and Drita (The Light).[8] In August 1990, Marinaj published an anti-communist satiric poem entitled "Horses" (original Albanian: Kuajt).[9] Aware of his imminent arrest by the communist regime, on September 12, 1990, Marinaj escaped authorities by illegally crossing the Albanian-Yugoslavian border. After fleeing to Yugoslavia, he received asylum in the United States.[10][11] He arrived in San Diego in July 1991, then went to Richardson, Texas. In 2001, Marinaj founded the Albanian-American Writers Association,[12] for which he served as president until 2009.[13] In 2019, Marinaj was appointed Nation's Ambassador for his native Albania.[14][15] He serves as the director for world literature publisher Mundus Artium Press.[16]

Interviews

While pursuing his new life in America, Marinaj continued working as a freelance journalist for the Albanian media; his freelance work included interviews with President George Herbert Walker Bush,[17] the ninth and then-current President of the State of Israel Shimon Peres, and world-renowned soccer player Pelé.[2] Marinaj's collection Ana tjetër e pasqyrës (The Other Side of the Mirror) contains many of these interviews.[18]

Horses

Marinaj initially published his poem "Horses" in the Albanian newspaper of record, Drita.[19] What at first glance read like a simple poem about farm animals was actually a satirical social and political commentary about the Albanian people being herded and corralled by an oppressive communist regime.[13] "Horses" appeared in Drita on August 19, 1990, and the response was immediate and overwhelming.[20] The sheer audacity of publishing such a clearly subversive poem in a national publication amazed the Albanians (and soon after the international community as well).[21] Within hours, copies of Drita sold out across the country, so people took to scrawling the poem on scraps of paper and passing it to one another in the subways and on the streets.[22] Months later, protesters chanted the poem through megaphones during anti-government demonstrations.[23] Seen from this point of view, "Marinaj's words inspired freedom [and] helped defeat communism in Albania."[24] Nevertheless, "having seen other poets hanged in the city's center for voicing similar notions of freedom and liberty, Marinaj knew that he had to leave the country immediately; he packed a few of his favorite books, told his friends and family that he was going on vacation, and set off on an eight-hour hike over the mountains and into Yugoslavia."[13]

Education in America

After his education in Albania, Marinaj earned an associate degree in science from Brookhaven College,[25] in 2001. He continued his education at the University of Texas at Dallas, where he graduated magna cum laude in 2006 with a bachelor's in literary studies, followed by a master's degree in the same subject in 2008. Three years later, he received a certificate in Holocaust Studies from the Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies.[13]

Doctor of Philosophy

The University of Texas at Dallas awarded Marinaj a PhD in 2012. His dissertation, which focus on the history and philosophy of oral poetry in the Balkans and on translation theory, is titled "Oral Poetry in Albanian and Other Balkan Cultures: Translating the Labyrinths of Untranslatability."[26]

Protonism Theory

According to The Dallas Morning News, Marinaj's "Protonism Theory" seeks to "promote peace and positive thinking" through literary criticism.[2] In 2011, Marinaj's first book-length articulation of Protonism Theory, in Protonism: Theory Into Practice,[27] received the Albanian BookerMan Prize for Literature from the National Media Group of Tirana, Albania.[28]

Protonism Theory argues that each critic's personal interests and biases influence the degree of emphasis placed on critically assessing strong and weak points in a given work of literature.[29] Marinaj formulated Protonism Theory in 2005 as a response to the flood of unduly negative criticism in East European academia following the collapse of communism. As an alternative form of literary criticism, Protonism aims to provide a common ground from which critics can evaluate literary works more objectively.[30]

Protonism Theory comprises five central principles: protonismiotics, restitution, inquiry, truth and ethics. Protismiotics combines Protonism and semiotics as a means of discovering whether a negative assessment of a work represents an attack on the author or an unprofessional critique.[31]

Protonism Theory, which forms the cornerstone of Marinaj's pluralistic cultural vision, has been incorporated into the syllabi of universities across America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia.[32] Protonism Theory is taught as an elective subject at University "St. Cyril and Methodius" by Professor Afrim A. Redzepi.[33] The course focuses on three topics: Text, Context, and Reception. It covers various aspects of culture, including Hegel's phenomenology of spirit, relational aesthetics, and the work of art as a cultural artifact.[33] The course also examines the theories of John Dewey and Nicolas Rorty, as well as the application of Protonism Theory.[33] Basic literature for the course includes Marinaj's "Protonizm Theory," John McDermott's "The Philosophy of John Dewey," and Kristen M. Walker's "Hemisphere: Visual Culture of America, Protonism."[33]

The Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China has made Protonism Theory a part of its graduate academic programs.[34] Marinaj's lecture "Protonism Theory: An Aid For Improving the Social Function of Literature," first delivered in October 2021 at South Korea's Dankook University and initially published in Korean, has since been published and presented on in multiple world languages.[35][36][37][38]

Literary ethnography

Marinaj's studies Sung Across the Shoulder: Heroic Poetry of Illyria[39] (Mundus Artium Press, 2011; co-edited, translated and introduced with Frederick Turner) and dissertation-based Oral Poetry in Albanian and Other Balkan Cultures: Translating the Labyrinths of Untranslatability (UMI, 2012; Pro Quest, Michigan, USA 2020) draw on his personal ethnographic research. Examining oral poets and performers in their linguistic, historical, geographical, cultural, social and aesthetic contexts, both works analyze the problems of translating oral poetry and reconstruct the translation process.[40] The books also serve as anthologies of Albanian oral poetry in English translation.[41][42] Marinaj has been recognized for his contribution to Albanian linguistics, specifically for creating new words and neologisms, several of which have been included in the "Lexico-phraseological and ethnolinguistic dictionary of the Malësi e Madhe," (Fjalor leksiko – frazeologjik dhe etnoliguistik i Malësisë së Madhe).[40][43][44]

Cultural diplomacy

Marinaj also holds the title of Nation's Ambassador for his native Albania.[14] In addition to facilitating cultural ties between Albania and the United States,[47][48] he has traveled extensively in support of literature and peace, with a particular emphasis on countries in the former Yugoslavia and elsewhere in Europe's historical Eastern Bloc (Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Romania),[49][50] as well as nations separated from the United States by ideological divides (Vietnam, China)[51][52][53][54][55][56][57][34] or characterized by tensions in shaping their national, ethnic or pluralistic identities (South Korea, India, Mexico, Ireland, Italy, United Kingdom).[58][59][60]

Marinaj has maintained inclusive professional collaborations with writers and cultural figures from these and other countries around the world, such as Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan,[61][62][63] Laos, Russia,[64]Cuba[65][66] and Ethiopia.[67] His particular global range is reflected in his publications, his translations, and the titles released by Mundus Artium Press.[68]
