This project analyses for the first time the growth of medievalist imaginations of war in Australia from colonial times onward. It also investigates for the first time the influence of medievalism on Australian war literature and cinema, exploring how common themes in the representation of Australian war - male group loyalty, anti-authoritarianism, self-sacrifice and posthumous honour - relate to medievalist traditions. The project is of great relevance to current discussions of Australian national identity, and to the public conception of our military role in world and regional affairs, with special relevance to understandings of Australian masculinity, ethnicity and border defence.

该项目首次分析了从殖民时代开始，中世纪主义者对澳大利亚战争想象的增长。它还首次调查了中世纪对澳大利亚战争文学和电影的影响，探讨了澳大利亚战争中的共同主题-男性群体忠诚，反独裁主义，自我牺牲和死后荣誉-与中世纪传统的关系。该项目与当前关于澳大利亚民族认同的讨论以及公众对我们在世界和区域事务中的军事作用的认识非常相关，特别是与理解澳大利亚的男子气概、种族和边防有关。
