Flags, Identity, Memory: Critiquing the Public Narrative through Color Anne Wagner and Sarah Marusek (eds) 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.

CALL FOR PAPERS JURIS DIVERSITAS 6 th ANNUAL CONFERENCE June 25-27, 2018 Potchefstroom, South Africa In partnership with Faculty of Law, North-West University, Potchefstroom & the Centre for Comparative Law in Africa Law, Roots & Space The Theme: A couple of lawyers’ old friends: ‘Sources’ and ‘Jurisdictions’. In their parlance, these notions are often associated to modern, ‘positive’ law. The idea of ‘Legal formants’ has been introduced to complete the picture, flexibilising it, making it more accurate, nuanced, realistic; an idea associated to comparative, socio-legal, anthropologic studies. With ‘Roots’ and ‘space’ geographers, historians, political scientists get involved. These are certainly less frequent notions in legal circles: we may still wish to make friends with them, to enrich our perception of legal phenomena. ‘ Roots ’ is often associated to history of law and related discourses – if legal formants may complete a picture, legal roots do complete the movie,
