Info-FIAV No. 49, July 2019 ISSN 1560-9979 Fédération internationale www.FIAV.org des associations vexillologiques www.Facebook.com/FIAV.org BOARD RECOMMENDATION ON MEMBERSHIP APPLICATIONS The Board’s recommendation on a membership application is ministerial. The Board considers whether an application demonstrates the candidate is an “association or institution anywhere in the world having as a substantial purpose the scientific study of vexillology,” see FIAV Constitution article 7(a), and whether the application satisfies the criteria of article 7(c): The Board and the General Assembly, in making their decisions about an applicant, shall have regard to the following: (1) the existence of a written constitution and its provisions; (2) the vexillological and non-vexillological activities of the applicant, including meetings, publications, and international relations; (3) in the case of an association, the number of its active members (minimum of five); (4) registration of its members or representatives in International Congresses of Vexillology; and (5) the length of time it has existed. In London the FIAV Constitution was amended to eliminate article 7(c)(6), requiring the “the presence of an autochthonous and authorized representative of the applicant at the session of the General Assembly at which there is to be a vote on the application.” Article 7(b) was amended as follows (emphasis added): The General Assembly at its next session shall vote on the application. An authorized representative of the applicant must appear at the session to present its case. Unless excused by the General Assembly, the representative must serve an active role in conducting the applicant's affairs. If the applicant is an association, then the representative must also be a member of the association. A rejected applicant has the right to reapply for membership at any later session of the General Assembly. Because of the changes in article 7 and because article 16(d) states that the General Assembly interprets the Constitution, the Board makes no recommendations on the three membership applicants and defers to the General Assembly. This is to allow a discussion in the General Assembly of how Constitution article 7 should be interpreted going forward. IN THIS ISSUE .

Spain: Secretary-General Fédération internationale des associations vexillologiques. Permanent Secretariat of the Federation La Corporación Nacional de Vexilología de Chile (CONAVEX) es una asociación de vexilólogos y vexilógrafos chilenos con el objetivo principal de difundir el campo de aplicación de la Vexilología en todo el país y mantener un contacto continuo con otras asociaciones a través del tiempo. En consideración de lo anterior, nos gustaría extender un cordial saludo y nuestras más sinceras felicitaciones a los miembros de la Federación Internacional de Asociaciones Vexilológicas, porque confiamos en que a través de un trabajo conjunto entre los dos grupos podremos lograr el gran objetivo de difundir el conocimiento vexilológico a lo largo del mundo. Como forma de llevar a cabo nuestros objetivos es que desde el año 2016 que con un grupo de vexilólogos chilenos nos hemos puesto en campaña para organizarnos en lo que desde el año 2017 es la Corporación Nacional de Vexilología de Chile. El día 3 de noviembre del año mencionado obtuvimos nuestra personalidad jurídica por lo que junto a los diez socios que actualmente somos hemos realizado una serie de actividades referentes a la difusión de la vexilología a lo largo de Chile y el mundo considerando nuestro trabajo a través de internet. El día 15 de Octubre de 2017 y el 3 de Noviembre de 2018 realizamos una serie de exposiciones a la comunidad de Santiago en la que exhibimos algunas de las banderas que tenemos en nuestras colecciones particulares en tres parques conocidos de la ciudad, a saber, Parque de las Esculturas, Parque Balmaceda y Parque Ecuador. En dichos parques los visitantes pudieron observar y consultar al respecto del origen y diseño de las banderas expuestas junto con conocer el desarrollo de la vexilología en Chile y el mundo. En vista de lo anterior, también hemos realizado una difusión de nuestro trabajo a través de la prensa escrita en el país, contando a la fecha con tres menciones de la Corporación en ella, principalmente en tres diarios de circulación nacional y uno de circulación regional. En ellos, hemos dado nuestro parecer a la respecto de una serie de noticias referidas a la bandera de Chile y a las banderas de los pueblos originarios. También hemos sido mencionados en la prensa extranjera, como se puede consultar en la siguiente nota del diario El Nacional de San Rafael, en Argentina: http://elnacionalonline.com/2018/12/20/chile-primer-congreso-de-vexilologia/ Considerando este trabajo previo, es que el día 22 de Diciembre de 2018 organizamos el Primer Congreso Nacional de Vexilología de Chile abierto a la comunidad y transmitido íntegramente en vivo a través de internet. En dicha instancia, cuatro de nuestros socios expusieron temas referentes tanto al desarrollo de la vexilología como así también a la vexilografía y temas referentes a la legislación y protocolo de las banderas regionales y locales de Chile y el mundo. Dicho congreso nos impulsa a desarrollar uno de forma anual en el país como forma de mantener una constancia del trabajo en la difusión de la vexilología en nuestro país. Para lograr dicho objetivo ha sido fundamental el apoyo y acompañamiento de las siguientes asociaciones con las que hemos tenido un contacto fraterno y meritorio a lo largo del tiempo, a saber: Sociedad Española de Vexilología North American Vexillological Association Centro Studi Vessilologici Italiano Flags of the World Czech Vexillological Society Centro de Simbología Argentina Heráldico y Cultural Alta Gracia Info-FIAV No. 49 4 July 2019 Considerando los contactos anteriores, es que hemos sido mencionados como Corporación vigente en las publicaciones Vexilloid Tabloid (Issue 71 August 2018) y Vexilla Notizie (Numero 33 - Ottobre 2018) junto con aparecer en la lista de asociaciones de Flags of the World como puede verse en el siguiente vínculo: https://fotw.info/flags/vex-cnvx.html desde el 4 de Agosto de 2018. Es por ello que tomando en cuenta las menciones anteriores, como Corporación en camino a cumplir dos años de vida y constituidos como tal bajo la legislación chilena, manifestamos nuestro deseo en conjunto por ser un grupo integrante de la Federación Internacional de Asociaciones Vexilológicas para dar forma así desde Chile a nuestro objetivo de trabajar unidos en el desarrollo y difusión de la vexilología y vexilografía desde nuestro país y hacia el mundo para generar una red de fraternidad y trabajo que permita una evolución en el quehacer vexilológico marcando nuestro camino a seguir en el futuro, un futuro en el que esperamos contar con su companía y apoyo como Corporación integrante de la Federación. Cordialmente Steffan Giadach Axt Presidente de la Corporación Nacional de Vexilología de Chile [English translation] Santiago de Chile, January 15, 2019 For Dr. Charles A. Spain: Secretary-General Fédération internationale des associations vexillologiques. Permanent Secretariat of the Federation The National Vexilology Corporation of Chile (CONAVEX) is an association of Chilean vexillologists and vexillolographers with the main objective of spreading the field of application of vexillology throughout the country and maintain a continuous contact with other associations over time. In consideration of the above, we would like to extend a cordial greeting and our sincerest congratulations to the members of the Fédération internationale des associations vexillologiques, because we trust that through a joint work between the two groups we will be able to achieve the great objective of spreading the vexillology throughout the world. As a way to carry out our objectives is since 2016 that with a group of Chilean vexillologists has put ourselves in a campaign to organize ourselves in what since 2017 is the National Vexilology Corporation of Chile. On November 3 of the aforementioned year we obtained our legal status so that together with the ten partners that we currently have, we have carried out a series of activities related to the dissemination of vexillology throughout Chile and the world considering our work through the Internet. On October 15, 2017 and November 3, 2018 we held a series of exhibitions to the community of Santiago in which we exhibited some of the flags we have in our private collections in three known parks of the city, namely, Sculpture Park, Balmaceda Park and Ecuador Park. In these parks, visitors were able to observe and consult about the origin and design of the exhibited flags along with knowing the development of vexillology in Chile and the world. In view of the above, we have also made a dissemination of our work through the written press in the country, counting to date three mentions of the Corporation in it, mainly in three newspapers of national circulation and one of regional circulation. In them, we have given our opinion to the respect of a series of news articles referring to the Chilean flag and the flags of the indigenous peoples. We have also been mentioned in the foreign press in the newspaper El Nacional de San Rafael, in Argentina. Considering this previous work, is that on December 22, 2018 we organized the First National Congress of Vexilology of Chile open to the community and transmitted entirely live via the internet.

In this paper, we will consider heraldry in the Republic of Macedonia, understood by the multitude of coats of arms, and armorial knowledge and art. The paper covers the period from independence until the name change (1991-2019). It co- vers the state coat of arms of the Republic of Macedonia especially the 2009 change. Special atten- tion is given to the development of the municipal heraldry, including the legal system covering the subject. Also personal heraldry developed in 21 century is considered. The paper covers the de- velopment of heraldry and the heraldic thought in the given period, including the role of the Macedonian Heraldic Society and its journal Macedonian Herald in development of theoretic and practical heraldry, as well as its Register of arms and the Macedonian Civic Heraldic System. Keywords: Heraldry in Macedonia; Macedonian civic heraldry; Republic of Macedonia. 1. Introduction The Republic of Macedonia became independent from the Socialist Federative Re- public of Yugoslavia with the Referendum of 8 September 1991. The Democratic Federal Macedonia was formed during the first session of the Anti-Fascist Assembly for the Na- tional Liberation of Macedonia (ASNOM) on 2 August 1944 (it later became the People’s Republic of Macedonia, a federal unit of the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia).

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology

    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology

    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups).

  • An Argument from Design

    An Argument from Design

    Raising the Standard: An Argument from Design Tony Burton Abstract The creative process and principles informing the design of some special purpose and other flags lead to conclusions for flag design in general. The dynamics of metaphor and shape- shifting are considered. The scope for greater pageantry and innovation in flag design is explored. Current national flags of complex or awkward design present a challenge. Possible remedies are suggested. To paraphrase a famous utterance, the known delivers the unknown, and as at least one national flag of recent vintage demonstrates, the unknown can lead to an unforeseen, but serendipitous result. Among the many instances of how not to design a flag, how to is more worthwhile. Vexillologists have higher standards.
