Early life and education

Plasari was born in Tirana,[6] where he completed all levels of his education. At the age of seventeen, while still in high school, Plasari began to publish translations from world literature ("Nëntori" magazine, Year 1973, No. 3). There are authors who describe it of Aromanian origin,[7] [8] although he has never accepted it.

Career

After graduating from secondary school, he fulfilled compulsory military service and, as for several years his right to pursue higher education was denied for "biographical" reasons, he started work at the most basic level of the press, as a copy-editor in the typography for "Mihal Duri".

From 1982 he worked as literary editor at the magazine "Nëntori", an organ of the Writers and Artists' Union of Albania. After graduation in 1989 he worked as an editor of translated literature, and later in 1990 as secretary of the editorial board, at the same magazine.

Beginning in 1990 he became a part-time lecturer at the University of Tirana's Faculty of History and Philology. In 1991 he completed a postgraduate specialization at "Alcalá" University in Madrid, Spain, and in 1992 he became a full-time lecturer at the Faculty of History and Philology (UT), where he also held the position of vice dean. In 1994 he obtained a doctoral degree in Comparative Literature.

Plasari was a lecturer and doctoral fellow for university subjects such as "History of Aesthetics" and "Principles of Aesthetics", as well as for special courses "Introduction to Narratology", "Theory of Reception", etc. In 1995 he became an "Associate Professor", and from 1995 to 1996 was a guest lecturer at Inalco (Institut des Langues et Civilisations Orientales), Paris. Returning to Albania, he continued to work at the Faculty of History and Philology (UT) until 1998, when he became director of the National Library of Albania,[9] [10] a post he still held in 2014.[11] Since 2010 he has held the title of "Professor". In the Master's Course of Library Science's Second Level, organized in the Albanian education system, he has developed the subject "Introduction to Albanology".[12] From 2014 to 2023, he served at the Academy of Albanian Studies as director of the Albanian Encyclopedia Center. Since 2024, he is a freelancer.

From 1990 until 2014 he engaged in national and international scientific-academic activities, lecturing and attending conferences in various countries.

Plasari headed the new edition of the cultural magazine "Hylli i Dritës" in 1993–1997 (from the reopening until it was closed again), and wrote in the free Albanian press, including the newspaper "Rilindja Demokratike" from its first issue, writing in various fields of culture, but also on policy. Beginning in 1990, some editions of Fishta, Merxhani, Harapi, and Beduli have been prepared by him; he also directed the series "Intelligenda" (Publishing House "55"), with various Albano-Balkanological's contributors, including Jorga, Jirecek, Gelcich, Suliotti, Londres, Konica, Nadin, and Xhufi.

In 2012 he was member of Interministerial Committee of Celebration of Proclamation of Independence's 100th Anniversary.
