Stari povijesni hrvatski grad Senj tijekom svoje duge povijesti imao je svoj stari gradski grb s likom sveca i viteza sv. Jurja na konju te druga dva grba stilizirana s gradske zastave iz 17. i 18. st., a ti grbovi se redovito nalaze i na pečatima grada tijekom 19. st. Poveznica svih grbova i pečata grada Senja tijekom duge njegove povijesti je lik sveca i viteza sv. Jurja, nebeskog zaštitnika grada Senja. The old historic Croatian city of Senj, during its long history used its old municipal coat of arms depicting the figure of the saint and knight St. George on a horse as well as two other coats of arms stylized from the municipal flag from 17th and 18th century. These coats of arms are regularly to be found on the municipal seals during 19th century. Common to all designs of coats of arms and seals of Senj during its long history is the figure of St. George, its heavenly patron.

Zanimljivo je da do 1867. godine Crna Gora uopće nije imala izlaz na Jadransko more. Tako knez Nikola tijekom plovidbe Jadranom nije smio ni na svojoj jahti podignuti crnogorsku zastavu, jer to tadašnji pomorski zakoni nisu dozvoljavali. U svezi prve pojave crnogorske zastave na Jadranu svojedobno je u pomorskom časopisu Marine Rundschau (godište 1961/62.) bio objavljen zanimljiv članak, koji prenosimo u skraćenom obliku. It is interesting that until 1867, Montenegro had no exit towards the Adriatic sea. So happened that Prince Nikola, during his navigation in the Adriatic, could not raise the Montenegrin flag as ensign, since the maritime legislation of the era would not allow it. An article in the maritime magazine Marine Rundschau (year 1961/62.) in connection with the emergence of the Montenegrin ensign on the Adriatic was issued, here recounted somewhat shortened

Jedna od osnovnih tvrdnji o heraldici kaže da grb čine štit, heraldički likovi u njemu, grbovni nakit i plašt. Rijetko se dodaje da su likovi smješteni u polja te da su i likovi i polja obojeni heraldičkim bojama. Još rjeđe ćete pročitati ili čuti izrijekom navedeno da ne postoje grbovi u kojima likovi nisu obojeni i smješteni u također obojena polja. Drugim riječima, u ovim definicijama polje se najčešće ne spominje kao važan, a kamo li nužan dio grba. Posve je druga situacija kad je riječ o podjelama – tu odjednom polja postaju i te kako bitna i odjednom ih se često spominje. Doista, kad se opisuje (blazonira) složeni grb, tada se bez iznimke spominju prvo, drugo, treće itd. polja, te redom u svakom polju opisuju likovi koji su u njima smješteni. Mada vam se ovo dosad rečeno može učiniti trivijalnim i samorazumljivim, ipak treba razmotriti odnos među pojmovima štita i polja i posljedice našeg neverbaliziranog poimanja tog odnosa. One of the basic claims regarding heraldry states that a coat of arms is composed of a shield, charges in it, charges above it and a mantle. It is rarely added that the charges are situated within fields and that both charges and fields are coloured with heraldic colours. Even less frequent one may found explicit claim that there are no coats of arms with uncoloured charges and that they are set in the uncoloured fields. In other words, in these definitions the field is most frequently unmentioned as an important, even more essential part of the coat of arms. It is quite different when we talk about divisions – here suddenly the fields become quite important and frequently mentioned. Indeed, when describing (blazoning) a composed coat of arms, without exception we have mentioned first, second, third etc. field, and charges set in each. Although what was said may seem trivial and self-explenatory, we should consider the relationship between the concepts of shield and fields and the consequences of our non-verbalized concept of that relationship.

The study of Haitian Vodou—imagining its historical development, interpreting the poetics of its mythology, analyzing its social functions—leads, almost invariably, to the consideration of the effects of hegemony. The symbolic representations and actual manifestations of local and global power have continually impacted Vodou. The aesthetics and ritual implications of Vodou flags (drapo Vodou) in many ways encapsulate the social and political history of Haiti; a past marked by displacement, fragmentation, simulation, and hybridization. This dissertation is presented as a focused study of drapo Vodou in which I examine how the flags embody or signify the adaptive merging of African and European cultural behaviors. In my analysis, I concentrate on evolution and iconography of drapo Vodou and the stylized ways that banners are paraded during ceremonies. These foci offer perhaps the most direct means of getting at the full historical, social, and theological implications of the flags. My central thesis is that, in both form and function, drapo Vodou are patterned after the banners used by the institutional centers of power (e.g. the military and the church) that have dominated Haitian society since the colonial period. I argue that the national and regimental standards carried by colonial and post-colonial military forces, the processional banners employed by Catholic religious orders, and the ensigns used by Masonic lodges have all served, to varying degrees, as models for drapo Vodou. Each of these root traditions, it can be argued, is patently European in origin. Nonetheless, as used in Vodou rites, ceremonial flags play a crucial role in the continued recognition and worship of African or African-inspired deities (lwa ) within Haiti. For this reason, I believe that the study of drapo provides a unique opportunity to delve into the processes by which Vodou practitioners (Vodouists) have transformed European material representations of power (both mundane and otherworldly) into symbolic manifestations of the lwa. The hypotheses regarding the evolution, iconography, and ritual significance of drapo Vodou presented in this dissertation are based on data generated from library and museum research in the United States and fieldwork in Haiti.

This paper is designed to provide a critical engagement with Michael Billig's seminal thesis of Banal Nationalism (1995), perhaps the most influential study of everyday forms of nationhood. With an increasing number now focusing on the (re) production, dissemination and negotiation of the national through routine texts and practices (cf Foster, 2002; Edensor, 2002; Madianou, 2005; Brubaker et al., 2006; Bratsis, 2006) and others employing the concept of banality in relation to non-national (Gorringe, 2006) and post-national identities (Aksoy and Robins, 2002; Szerszynski and Urry, 2002; Beck, 2006; Cram, 2001), it would seem like an opportune moment to assess Billig's contribution and also the limits of his approach.
