Law and Visual Jurisprudence. Springer International Publishing. Springer Nature Link. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-32865-8_17.

The chapter provides semiotic analysis of national flags in Russia in historical perspective and describes legal regulation of the use of flags as state symbols on federal and federal entities’ levels. Contemporary white-blue-red national flag, Soviet red flag and imperial black-yellow-white flag are analyzed in different contexts, as official state symbols and as unofficial symbols of different political movements; the evolution of their meaning with time is shown. Subjects of the Russian Federation also have their flags, which reflect their aspiration for self-identification and sovereignty within the limits of common political identity of the nation. The right to establish their own official symbols is a part of their constitutional status, and they realize this right for the construction of their regional identity within the semiotic space of Russia as a whole.There is no unity in approaches to the fixation of the legal status and description of flags on the level of federal entities, though main legal rules concerning the use of flags and subordination between the national flag and the flags of federal entities are stipulated by the federal law. Most of regional flags have been created since 1991, because these regions had no status of federal subjects before that. By their visual representation the flags differ depending on the cultural and historic characteristics of the regions. Some of them resemble the regional coat of arms, some of them try to follow the federal model by using bars of different color, some include religious symbols.Legal regulation of the use of flags includes constitutional standards, statutory standards and also provisions of criminal and administrative law on desecration of flags and on inappropriate use of the national flag, which may humiliate or publicly demonstrate disrespect for it. The judicial practice in application of these standards is, however, confusing, because the provisions lack legal certainty.

Berry, Bruce Beresford. 2011. “Flagging Rhodesia’s Identity Through the Symbols of Settlers (1890-1980).” Doctoral thesis, University of Pretoria. University of Pretoria: Research Output. https://repository.up.ac.za/handle/2263/82748.

This thesis analyses the symbolic changes in the expression of white Rhodesian identity from the arrival of the settlers in 1890 and subsequent establishment of the Colony until the independence of Zimbabwe in 1980. It examines the concepts of ‘nation’ and ‘identity’. It is generally agreed that national symbols, such as flags, anthems, coats of arms, and the like, not only represent the ‘nation’ but also condense and express the values, history and memories associated with it. The thesis argues that initially Rhodesians considered and identified themselves to be quintessentially British and loyal members of the Empire which was demonstrated through the use of Imperial symbols such as the Crown and the Union Jack. However, following the Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) in November 1965, the need for a more distinctive local identity became more acute as the country moved to sever its imperial links and became ostracised on the international stage. A new panoply of symbols was adopted to reflect this change, the most visible and long-lasting of which was the new Rhodesian flag. The flag continues to be the most emotional and contested symbol of post-UDI Rhodesian identity to this day.

Smith, Whitney. 1700. “Flag Charts Collection. Dr. Whitney Smith Flag Research Center Collection [Finding Aid to the Archival Collection].” archival collection Series 6. University of Texas at Austin. Briscoe Center for American History. Held in off-site storage; contact the archive in advance before you visit. Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, University of Texas at Austin. https://www.cah.utexas.edu/documents/finding_aids/smith_dr_whitney_flag_research_center_collection.pdf.

The Flag Charts Collection is comprised of charts depicting historical and contemporary world flags. Within their respective subseries, the charts are largely organized by geographical location, region, and country. For the purpose of this collection, a flag chart is defined as a graphic document primarily designed to provide information on a multitude of flags at once by displaying images of flags with identifying captions. Charts of other representational materials such as emblems, crests, coats of arms, and heraldry are considered flag charts. This definition of a flag chart makes a distinction between a graphic document created for informational or research purposes and a graphic document created for presentation, advertisement, and decoration. These types of materials are organized within the Printed Material and Ephemera series. Often the distinction between these two types of information is slight and/or subjective and as a result, similar information can be found in different series. An archivist's note is included whenever possible.

Neubecker, Ottfried. 1930s-1980s. “Ottfried Neubecker Heraldry Collection. Dr. Whitney Smith Flag Research Center Collection [Finding Aid to the Archival Collection].” archival collection Series 4.

The Ottfried Neubecker Heraldry Collection contains the vast research materials of German vexillologist and heraldist, Ottfried Neubecker. The Ottfried Neubecker Collection contains the professional records of Dr. Neubecker from the early 1930's through the late 1980's, with a considerable bulk of the collection reflecting Dr. Neubecker's work for the Third Reich Department of Interior. The collection was initially housed in numerous two ring binders and followed a scrapbook type of arrangement. There was an original alphanumerical classification schema that, whenever possible, was observed and retained. As of August 2015, the completion of the first phase of processing of the Dr. Whitney Smith Flag Research Center Collection, no master inventory of the collection has been found. Many individual materials from Dr. Neubecker's collection were interfiled into Dr. Smith's own subject files at some point in the 1990's. The inventory for the Flag Research Center Subject Files attempts to reflect these Neubecker files, though the distinction is not always clear.
