WOMEN IMMURE AND MECHANISMS OF THE FORCE IN THE LAW OF ALBANIAN MEDITERRANEAN SOCIETY

Abstract

The force of custom masterfully knew how to harmonize the elements of the family through the harmonious combination of customary law mechanisms, just as the code of faith, a code that expresses a very strong family relation, and precisely between the little brother, to whom he had fallen and "right" to face the challenge of life. This is expressed through the "institution" of the wall, which is perfected in a certain historical context, found in the Ballad of Dukagjini, introducing a new element: the woman seems aware of her mission, and at the same time she knows that as the face of the walling institution, which is shown through its dialogue with the builders of the castle. The feminine deenization, in the construction of the castle, is treated not merely as symbolic of the violent resistance, but above all as a symbolic of institutional resistance, to build where the Albanian family will be born and develop, there is also the residence of the state. The main motive of the ballad "Sister and brother" is the "incest ban" analyzed not as episodic events of society but as a public phenomenon and as a social concern and phenomenon that has disturbed in certain historical circumstances the Albanian family and society, in the legend of this ballad, we may have to do with ancient subtypes that remember the difference between horizontal marriages and those within a womb.
