The
Kruger Telegram in the British Popular Consciousness, 1896-1941
Abstract:
The paper will show an overview of Patrick's latest chapter and a
forthcoming article which focuses upon a key event in the formation of
anti-German sentiment: the Kruger Telegram Crisis of 1896. Beginning
with a botched 'sub-imperial' coup in South Africa, the crisis was
sparked by an international relations blunder from Germany and resulted
in a profound and lasting outburst of anger in Britain which spread to
every corner of the British metropole and empire.
This paper will aim to examine a key theoretical underpinning of my
overall thesis - the 'ideological archive' - through this fascinating
case study. It is hoped that there will be an opportunity to analyse
this concept to test out its strengths and limitations. Patrick would
greatly appreciate all constructive criticism as a vital source of
reflection and development.
Hope to see you there!
