Courtoisie
Courtoisie is the form of aristocratic politeness that emerged at the courts of the early modern period - especially in Burgundy and France - and was later adapted by the bourgeoisie .
Sociologically , it was analyzed by Norbert Elias in his works On the Process of Civilization and The Courtly Society . Gabriel Tarde ( Les lois de l'imitation ) has already examined their transition from the higher to the lower classes .
Courtoisie under international law
In international law , international courtesy is referred to as courtesy, i.e. the customs in diplomatic dealings between states or their representatives. Diplomatic ceremonies are just as much a part of international law courtesy as, for example, using language skills in a connecting and non-exclusive way (at receptions). The demarcation from customary international law is the lack of opinio iuris , i.e. the conviction associated with a set action to act purely out of politeness and without obligation.
Heraldic Courtoisie
In heraldry , Courtoisie describes the juxtaposition of coats of arms in all their parts. For example, in the case of married women, the husband's coat of arms is mirrored on the left side as seen from the viewer next to the family coat of arms of the wife's family. See also under alliance coat of arms and coat of arms association .
