ABSTRACT The use of battlefields and associated conflict sites provide tantalising hooks upon which to hang tapestries of grand narratives relating to regional and national identities, often defined by what the identities are not. This paper examines the unlikely connection between Jacobite and Confederate romanticism, and how battlefields, conflict related sites, and symbolic material culture are mobilised through active commemoration by some heritage groups in support of a created, mythic identity of a ‘Southern Celt’. Furthermore, it examines the production of a mythic history that whitewashes and recasts the Confederacy, the reality of the Civil War, and the Confederate Flag, while at the same time minimising, hiding, or ignoring competing narratives.

“旗帜还剩下什么”：邦联和雅各布派的“失败原因”神话，以及通过冲突纪念建立神话身份

摘要 战场和相关冲突地点的使用提供了诱人的钩子，可以挂上与区域和国家身份相关的宏大叙事的挂毯，通常由身份不是什么来定义。本文探讨了雅各布派和邦联浪漫主义之间不太可能的联系，以及战场、冲突相关地点和象征性物质文化如何通过一些遗产团体的积极纪念活动来支持，以支持创造的“南凯尔特人”神话身份。此外，它考察了神话历史的产生，它粉饰和重塑了南方邦联、内战的现实和邦联旗帜，同时最小化、隐藏或忽略了相互竞争的叙述。
