This article examines attitudes to the Boer War − and nationhood and empire more broadly − through the prism of carnivals held in London in 1900 to raise money for the Daily Telegraph’s fund for combatants’ widows and orphans. Drawing on detailed press coverage of these events and the rhetoric surrounding them, it highlights how the carnivals and their rationale offered a point of consensus around which participating individuals and organizations with differing stances on the conflict could rally and express gendered national and imperial identities, as well as opportunities for accruing political, economic and social capital.

在马斯韦尔山重演 Mafeking：在伦敦布尔战争嘉年华中表现爱国主义和慈善

本文通过 1900 年在伦敦举行的狂欢节为《每日电讯报》为战斗人员的遗孀和孤儿筹集资金的棱镜，审视了人们对布尔战争的态度——以及更广泛的国家和帝国。利用对这些事件的详细新闻报道和围绕这些事件的言论，它强调了狂欢节及其基本原理如何提供了一个共识点，围绕这些点对冲突持不同立场的参与个人和组织可以团结起来并表达性别化的国家和帝国身份，如以及积累政治、经济和社会资本的机会。
