The Role of Civil Society and Actors in Narrating Online Against Terrorism/Violent Extremism (TVE): Narratives and Practice

众所周知，由于大量的研究，传播叙事被各种鼓吹恐怖主义/暴力极端主义(T/VE)的组织和个人所利用。作为一个研究领域，联系密切、相对被忽视的传播也是旨在预防恐怖主义/打击暴力极端主义(PT/CVE)的战略或运动的关键要素。因此，本博士建议研究针对技术和职业教育的叙述的产生和传播，重点是民间社会的作用及其与正式国家机构及其技术和职业教育战略的互动和关系。该项目的广泛目标是绘制民间社会行为者的实践领域，确定所使用的格式和叙述的类型学，并确定叙述如何以这种方式构成以及为什么以这种方式构成。拟议的研究将对改善关于民间社会内部的P/CVE在线信息以及民间社会和国家行为者之间的任何关系的知识库具有重要意义。这些知识可望说明可能需要解决的障碍和促进者，以协助寻求一种有效的、综合的在线信息传递办法，从而提高这一领域有效做法的前景。

It is well known, thanks to a large body of research, that communicated narratives are utilised by a wide variety of organisations and individuals who advocate terrorism/violent extremism (T/VE). Closely linked, and relatively neglected as an area of research, communication is also a key element of strategies or campaigns aiming to prevent terrorism/counter violent extremism (PT/CVE). As such, this PhD proposes to examine the production and dissemination of narratives against T/VE, focusing on the role of civil society and its interaction and relationship with formal state bodies and their PT/CVE strategies. The broad aims of the project are to map the field of practice by civil society actors, to establish a typology of the formats and narratives used; and to establish how and why narratives are constructed in the ways they are. The proposed research would have significance for improving the knowledge base about P/CVE online messaging within civil society, and any relationship between civil society and state actors. Such knowledge could be expected to illustrate the barriers and facilitators that might need to be addressed in aiding the pursuit of an effective, joined-up approach to online messaging that enhances the prospects of effective practice in this area.
