Abstract

"This collection focuses on the history of legal emblems and the genealogy of law's visual structures. The growing interest in law and the visual has tended to focus in a somewhat lazy fashion upon film and law, rather than addressing the actual history of law's regimes of visual control. But early modern lawyers, civilian and common alike, developed their very own ars iuris or art of law. A variety of legal disciplines always relied in part upon the use of visual representations, upon images and statuary to convey authority and sovereign norm. Military, religious, administrative and legal images found juridical codification and expression in collections of signs of office, in heraldic codes, in genealogical devices, and then finally in the juridical invention in the mid-sixteenth century of the legal emblem book. This book traces the complex lineage of the legal emblem and argues that the mens emblematica of the humanist lawyers was the inauguration of a visiocratic regime that continues in significant part into the present and multiple technologies of vision. Bringing together leading experts on the history of legal emblems to address the critical question of why it was lawyers who authored the emblemata, and correlatively, what was the relation and role of these visual depictions of norms to the practice and performance of law, this collection provides a ground-breaking account of the long relationship between visibility, meaning and normativity"--

Abstract

The emblem book was invented by the humanist lawyer Andrea Alciato in 1531. The preponderance of juridical and normative themes, of images of rule and infraction, of obedience and error in the emblem books is critical to their purpose and interest. This book outlines the history of the emblem tradition as a juridical genre, along with the concept of, and training in, obiter depicta, in things seen along the way to judgment. It argues that these books depict norms and abuses in classically derived forms that become the visual standards of governance. Despite the plethora of vivid figures and virtual symbols that define and transmit law, contemporary lawyers are not trained in the critical apprehension of the visible. This book is the first to reconstruct the history of the emblem tradition, evidencing the extent to which a gallery of images of law already exists and structuring how the public realm is displayed, made present and viewed.

Abstract

Les seize études ici rassemblées s'ordonnent autour de trois axes. Tout d'abord l'histoire des couleurs, envisagée dans une perspective fortement anthropologique et s'appuyant sur des domaines de recherches et des catégories documentaires très divers : le lexique, la teinture des étoffes, la chimie des pigments, les spéculations des hommes de science, les moralisations des hommes d'Eglise, les codes sociaux de la couleur (vêtements, armoiries, marques de toutes natures) et la place de celle-ci dans les images. Ensuite les usages emblématiques de la société occidentale, examinés à partir de nombreux supports, formules et documents qui nous les font connaître (sceaux, armoiries, médailles, enseignes vexillaires, etc.), mais aussi et surtout étudiés par rapport aux préoccupations idéologiques et aux différents systèmes de valeurs qui les sous-tendent. Enfin l'imaginaire des hommes du Moyen Age, tel qu'il s'exprime à travers un certain nombre de pratiques culturelles (la réception de la légende arthurienne) ou sociales (la mythologie de la parenté, la diffusion des noms de héros littéraires ans l'anthroponymie véritable), et qu'il met en jeu des faits de sensibilité s'inscrivant parfois dans la longue durée (ainsi, à propos du bestiaire, la rivalité entre l'ours et le lion pour le titre de roi des animaux). Ce recueil fait suite à l'ouvrage du même auteur, publié en 1982 chez le même éditeur sous le titre "L'hermine et le sinople", ouvrage qui réunissait vingt-cinq articles consacrés à l'héraldique médiévale.
