The politics of medievalism: persuasive narratives

该项目旨在了解关于中世纪过去的叙述如何帮助形成身份，并在目前传播意识形态，跨越政治光谱，时间和国界。它旨在产生有关中世纪及其说服力的新知识。它将使用创新的跨学科方法，数字分析和参与伙伴关系，为极端主义利用流行文化提供新的视角。它将提高识别极端主义信息的能力，并创建新的基层方案，促进对极端主义宣传和极右意识形态的政治宽容和复原力，通过加强澳大利亚的安全，社会凝聚力和民族价值观来产生社会和文化利益。

This project aims to understand how narratives about the medieval past help form identities and spread ideologies in the present, across the political spectrum, time and national borders. It aims to generate new knowledge about medievalism and its persuasive power. It will shed new light on extremist exploitation of popular culture using an innovative interdisciplinary approach, digital analysis, and engaged partnerships. It will enhance capacity to identify extremist messaging and create new grassroots programs promoting political tolerance and resilience to extremist propaganda and far-Right ideology, generating social and cultural benefit by strengthening Australian security, social cohesion and national values.
