| Abstract | The red or black colors used to differentiate between individual days in many calendars are an important aid to organizing life in a particular society. The typographical devices used to distinguish days of special importance are instrumental in turning historical events and persons into the images of the nation, which its members can admire, from which they can learn, and—not least—for which they can also fight. The prevailing ideology has a decisive role in the choice of color for particular days. By defining which days should be marked as particularly important, those in power not only define which days are suitable for work and which for rest. They also appropriate the past, and canonize knowledge and meaning of the past. |
