The transmission of these memories forms part of a broader effort to create a \u201cnational\u201d history of Kosovo and constitute an \u201cAlbanian imagined community\u201d. This article scrutinizes the memories of the \u201cliberation\u201d produced by Albanian-speaking migrants who were active on behalf of their homeland in Switzerland. It explores the construction of masculinities within narratives collected via oral history interviews. In line with the literature on \u201cnation\u201d and gender in Kosovo, this research acknowledges the presence of two main forms of masculinity: the \u201cheroic fighter\u201d and the \u201cpacifist\u201d. However, it also demonstrates the crystallization of the \u201centrepreneur\u201d, an alternative type who integrates the transnational \u201cneoliberal\u201d discourses and proposes a more positive image of \u201cAlbanian men\u201d in Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"abstractKeywords\">\n<div class=\"hlFld-KeywordText\">\n<p>KEYWORDS: Nation-building, entrepreneurship, transnationalism, masculinity, Kosovo, Switzerland<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s) : Romaine Farquet Source : https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/01419870.2017.1318214 Abstract:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[285,336,7,9,296,148,193,203,26],"class_list":["post-1845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-migration-phenomenon","tag-285","tag-albanians","tag-article","tag-english-language","tag-entrepreneurship","tag-gender","tag-kosovo","tag-men","tag-transnationalism"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1845\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
