  • Haminassa on Lippu Korkealla! Haminan Lippumaailma
    HAMINASSA ON LIPPU KORKEALLA! HAMINAN LIPPUMAAILMA Haminan Lippumaailma on Haminan kaupungin hanke. Hami- nan Lippumaailman julkistaminen oli osa Suomi 100 -ohjelmaa, jolla Suomi juhli satavuotista itsenäisyyttään. Sisäministeriö, joka vastaa valtakunnallisista lippuun ja liputukseen liittyvistä toimista, on tukenut hanketta. Haminan Lippumaailma on liputukseen ja lippuhistoriaan keskittyvä puisto- ja näyttelykokonaisuus. Se pyrkii olemaan niin nähtävyys ja tärkeä matkailukohde kuin pedagoginen ja informatiivinen keskus. Lippumaailma avattiin 28.5.2018, jolloin julkistettiin myös ensimmäinen lippupuisto Lipputornin puistossa ja Suomen lipun tie -lippurivistö RUK:n puistossa. Samana päivänä juhlittiin Ha- mina Bastionissa 100-vuotiasta Suomen siniristilippua. Juhlassa kuultiin myös kantaesityksenä utsjokelaisten lasten laulama saamenkielinen Maamme-laulu. Suomen suurlippu meren rannalla juhlistaa Suomen itsenäi- syyden satavuotistaivalta. Sen lahjoittivat ulkovallat satavuo- tiaalle Suomelle ja Suomen kansalle. 100-metrinen suursalko sai pysyvän käyttöluvan joulukuussa 2019. Suurlippu ja lippupuistojen liput liehuvat erityisluvalla joka päivä ympäri vuoden valaistuna. Suurlipun lahjoittajamaiden liput liehuvat lisäksi kesäisin Haminan puistoissa erillisen suun- nitelman mukaan. Lippumaailma järjestää myös erilaisia näyt- telyitä liittyen lippuihin ja liputuskulttuuriin. 2 LIPPUMAAILMAN TAUSTAA MIKSI HAMINA? Haminan kaupunki on Suomen vanhin varuskuntakaupunki.

  • The Nordic Cross Flag: Crusade and Conquest April 22, 2020 Show Transcript
    Season 1, Episode 5: The Nordic Cross Flag: Crusade and Conquest April 22, 2020 Show Transcript Welcome back to another episode of Why the Flag?, the show that explores the stories behind the flags, and how these symbols impact our world, our histories, and ourselves. I’m Simon Mullin. On the last episode, we discussed the Y Ddraig Goch – the red dragon flag of Wales – and the deep historical and mythological origins of the red dragon on a green and white ground. We traveled back nearly 2,000 years to the Roman conquest of Britannia and the introduction of the dragon standard to the British Isles by the Iranian-Eastern European Sarmatian cavalry stationed at Hadrian’s Wall. We explored how the dragon was adopted by the Roman army as a standard, and after their withdrawal from Britannia, its mythological rise as the symbol of Uther Pendragon and King Arthur, and then its resurrection by Henry VII – whose 15th Century battle standard closely resembles the flag of Wales we see today. National mythology plays a significant role in shaping our identities and how we see ourselves as a community and as a people. And, as we found in episode 4, these mythologies are instrumental in shaping how we design and emotionally connect to our national flags. We’re going to continue this theme about the cross-section of history, mythology, and national identity on the episode today as we discuss the rise of the Nordic Cross, a symbol that shapes the flags of all eight Nordic and Scandinavian countries today, and rules over nearly 28 million citizens speaking 15 distinct languages.

The Lisbon Treaty was signed by the EU member states on 13 December 2007, and entered into force on 1 December 2009. It amends the Treaty on European Union (TEU; also known as the Maastricht Treaty) and the Treaty establishing the European Community (TEC; also known as the Treaty of Rome). In this process, the Rome Treaty was renamed to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Prominent changes included the move from required unanimity to double majority voting in several policy areas in the Council of Ministers, a more powerful European Parliament as its role of forming a bicameral legislature alongside the Council of Ministers becomes the ordinary procedure, a consolidated legal personality for the EU and the creation of a long-term President of the European Council and a High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.

  • Geography and Vexillology: Landscapes in the Flags
    Geography and vexillology: landscapes in flags By Tiago José Berg Abstract This paper aims to present how the national flags have on its symbo - lism a representation of landscape. In geography, both in academic levels as well as in school teaching, landscape takes on a central theme that has so far been the subject of scientific debate of great importance by geographers as a way of seeing the world and a form of representing a specific surface of the Earth. In vexillology, the symbolism of the modern nation-state has developed a number of examples where the arrangement of stripes (or even the coat of arms) of some national flags bring certain aspects that are not immediately apparent, but they may become beautiful examples of a stylized representation of the landscape. Therefore, in this paper we seek a dialogue between geography and vexillology, showing how the representation of landscape in the flags can become a relevant theme to be used in academic research and a fascinating resource to enrich the teaching in schools. Introduction The last decades of the twentieth century saw the revival of interest in studies of the landscape geographers, both the number of publications, the associations made with the theme. The landscape, rather than a return to “classical geography” or even the new perspectives presented by the cultural geography, back to being inserted in geographical studies with a different approach. Both in academic level as well as in school education, the landscape takes on a theme that has been the subject of scien - tific debate of great importance by geographers as a way of seeing the world and a way of representing the specific surface of the Earth.

  • FLAGS, IDENTITY, MEMORY : Critiquing the Public Narrative Through Color
    FLAGS, IDENTITY, MEMORY : Critiquing the Public Narrative through Color 7 – 9 February 2018 Research Project In our project, the identification of “identity” employs culturally specific color codes and images that conceal assumptions about members of a people comprising a nation, or a people within a nation. Flags narrate constructions of belonging that become tethered to negotiations for power and resistance over time and throughout a people’s history. Bennet (2005) defines identity as “the imagined sameness of a person or social group at all times and in all circumstances”. While such likeness may be imagined or even perpetuated, the idea of sameness may be socially, politically, culturally, and historically contested to reveal competing pasts and presents. Visually evocative and ideologically representative, flags are recognized symbols fusing color with meaning that prescribe a story of unity. Yet, through semiotic confrontation, there may be different paths leading to different truths and applications of significance. Knowing this and their function, we should investigate these transmitted values over time and space. Indeed, flags may have evolved in key historical periods, but contemporaneaously transpire in a variety of ways. We should therefore investigate these transmitted values: - Which values are being transmitted? - Have their colors evolved through space and time? Is there a shift in cultural and/or collective meaning from one space to another? - What are their sources? - What is the relationship between law and flags in their visual representations? - What is the shared collective and/or cultural memory beyond this visual representation? Considering the complexity and diversity in the building of a common memory with flags, we would suggest our contributors interrogate the complex color- coded sign system of particular flags and their meanings attentive to a complex configuration of historical, social and cultural conditions that shift over time.

  • Colours, Crosses Or Cow-Horns? Nordic Elements in the Design Of
    Colours, crosses or cow-horns? Nordic elements in the design of some North American flags and emblems with an overview of the use of Scandinavian flags in Canada and the U.S.A. Kevin Harrington Abstract This Canadian vexillologist introduces the historical and contemporary uses of Scandinavian flags in North America. He proceeds to analyze the design of North American flags that have some tie-in with the five Nordic countries. Certain individuals of Scandinavian descent who had a role in North American vexillology are also identified. The writer looks at organizational and institutional flags and emblems, house flags , sports pennants and banners, sailing and yacht club burgees, and private signals of mariners, as well as a few civic flags of Canada and the United States. He counts the frequency ofNordic elements chosen in the designs of these flags and draw appropriate conclusions. Introduction The Nordic countries of Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland have made many significant contributions to North American history, geography, and civiliza­ tion- from Leif Ericsson to Otto Sverdrup, from New Sweden to Little Norway, from kringles to saunas, from farmers in the Dakotas to lumbermen in Thunder Bay, from pdtissiers in Toronto to fishermen on Lake Winnipeg, from Ole Edvart Rolvaag to Martha Ostenso, from Karen Magnusson to Matts Sundin, an import on an National Hockey League team. To these - and there are several other categories of contribu­ tions -we now add those in the field of vexillology and emblematics. By the words Norden or Nordic, this writer means 'the northern European countries commonly re­ ferred to as Scandinavia but including also Iceland and Finland.' By Nordic elements we mean the arrangements, charges, and colours of the Nordic flags, and design ele­ ments of heraldic, dynastic, sigillographic, artistic, and other historic derivations.

  • The German Revolution and Entente Intervention November 1918 – March 1919
    The German Revolution and Entente Intervention November 1918 – March 1919 “. Всякий, кто серьезно хочет узбавиться от Колчаковщины, должен все силы, все средства, все уменье целиком отдать делу создания и укрепления красной армии.” “Anyone, who desires to be saved from the regime of Kolchak, must ren- der all force, all means, all skills to devote themselves to the creation and strengthening of the Red Army.” 27 Map 4 The German Revolution and Entente Intervention // November 1918 – March 1919 Colored lithographic print, 64 x 102 cm. Compilers: A. N. de-Lazari and N. N. Lesevitskii. Artist: D. N. Kravchenko Historical Background The fourth map in the series focuses on the continuing threats to Bolshevik rule, and deals with the massive discontent in Europe brought about in 1918-19 by the end of the First World War. The surrender of the Cen- tral Powers to the Allies in November 1918 ended the War and resulted in the collapse of the four ruling dyn- asties of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Romania, and Ottoman Turkey. Combined frustrations over privations incurred during the war, grievous labor conditions, declining wages, and hunger fueled uprisings in several European capitals, where socialists encouraged strikes and rebellions to replace the fallen governments. Tak- ing advantage of the armistice, the Bolsheviks annulled the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and expanded their control over western Russia and Ukraine. In Siberia Admiral Kolchak, the counterrevolution’s newly-instated “Supreme Ruler of Russia,” began gathering his forces for an assault in spring 1919. As its central theme, the map illustrates the growing support for the communist revolution throughout Russia and Western Europe in the wake of the Great War.
