Visible Identites conference, London. (2017) 0

[Report:] Visible Identities: Symbolic Codes from Personal Heraldry to Corporate Logos, London, 6 November 2017

It is a convenient coincidence that an event of this thematic scope took place in London, a city that is home to the College of Arms as the oldest authority of heraldry as a century-old tradition of visual identification on the one, and the headquarters of countless companies concerned with identity of modern global brands on the other side. With these two dimensions in mind, this symposium brought together...

[Paper:] Miguel Metelo de Seixas (Lisbon): La ‘sala dos brasões’ de Sintra: approches et enjeux historiographiques

La « sala dos brasões » du palais royal de Sintra constitue, pour le Portugal, un cas isolé de salle d’apparat au décor héraldique. Ce caractère unique lui a valu une approche historiographique elle-même exceptionnelle : depuis le XVIe jusqu’au XXe siècle, chroniqueurs, historiens, mémorialistes et voyageurs la présentèrent comme lieu de mémoire par excellence de la monarchie et de la noblesse portugaises. Plus récemment, des approches basées sur le...

Dans le cas portugais, au Moyen Âge et encore au 16e siècle, on doit souligner le caractère fragmentaire des témoignages qui sont à notre disposition. Les raisons pour une telle réalité sont...
