The Hungarian Coronation of Joseph I as a Means of Symbolic Communication

• Languages of publication: CS

Abstracts

EN

The current study attempts to reconstruct the coronation of Joseph I as King of Hungary in Pressburg (Bratislava) on 9th December 1687 on the basis of a context analysis of written and iconographic primary sources. Yet, the author is not merely interested in outlining the political background of the coronation and the description of its progress. Using the methodological concept of symbolic communication he strives to decipher individual symbolic stages and gestures, which the very persons involved in the performance put into action. He does not overlook either the forms of personal representation of Joseph I, his parents – Leopold I and Eleonore Magdalene of Neuburg, the Hungarian Estates and the ways of visualising their social standing.
