Hoxha’s first (natural) death in 1985 and second (political) death in 1991, generate a f ull circle of events from the immortalisation to the damnation of an absolu te monarch, from anti-communist iconoclasm to bittersweet nostalgia for the dictatorship. The one-week long mortuary ceremony, the public work of mour ning, commemorative rites and national folk festivals, the Pharaonic immort alisation in a pyramidal museum were all structured so as to articulate the reality of death according to the specific grammar of a totalitarian world view. The female vocalisation of painful shock and grief crisis through pu blic ritual “crying with howls” (e qarë me ulërimë) and “crying with words” (e qarë me ligje) aimed to tell of the unspeakable, to discharge the insuf ferable, to deny the unimaginable: death of the deathless leader. \n\n How can one “measure” the loss of a deified dictator? Do the limits of crying i mply the limits of loss? The affective-political drama upon the dictator’s death will be interpreted to the measure it was experienced and enacted by three groups of the socio-political hierarchy: political bureau, common peo ple and class enemy. Dictatorial regimes have the most self-evident manifes tations of music as an attribute of power, social control and cultural repr ession. Hence the musical drama within the political drama help us to under stand how death of a leader breaks the ideologically frozen forms of consci ousness and the synchronised rhythm of socialist life, how it sheds light o n the “unpredictable past” of the regime and contributes to an essential un derstanding of dictatorship as experience. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:xhaxhiThis presentation focuses on the death, state funeral and national mourning for the Albanian communist dictator Env er Hoxha (1908-1985). Hoxha’s first (natural) death in 1985 and second (pol itical) death in 1991, generate a full circle of events from the immortalis ation to the damnation of an absolute monarch, from anti-communist iconocla sm to bittersweet nostalgia for the dictatorship.

H ow can one “measure” the loss of a deified dictator? Do the limits of crying imply the limits of loss? The affe ctive-political drama upon the dictator’s death will be interpreted to the measure it was experienced and enacted by three groups of the socio-politic al hierarchy: political bureau, common people and class enemy. Dictatorial regimes have the most self-evident manifestations of music as an attribute of power, social control and cultural repression. Hence the musical drama w ithin the political drama help us to understand how death of a leader break s the ideologically frozen forms of consciousness and the synchronised rhyt hm of socialist life, how it sheds light on the “unpredictable past” of the regime and contributes to an essential understanding of dictatorship as experience.
