Heroization Strategies in Conflicts of the Near East since the 1970s (D14*)

计划中的项目将研究20世纪70年代末至90年代初近东的两场暴力冲突，即两伊战争和埃及政权与圣战分子之间的冲突。它的工作假设是，在这些冲突的背景下发生的英雄化进程在形成对战士、烈士以及民族和宗教英雄主义的陈规定型观念方面发挥了重要作用。通过分析这些冲突中英雄化的行为者和机制，该项目旨在使人们能够更好地了解这些进程。

The planned project will study two violent conflicts in the Near East between the end of the 1970s and the early 1990s, namely the Iran-Iraq War and the conflict between the Egyptian regime and jihadists. It will work on the assumption that the heroization processes that took place within the context of these conflicts played an essential role in shaping stereotypes of fighters, martyrs, and national and religious heroism. By analysing the actors and mechanisms of heroization in these conflicts, the project aims to enable a better understanding of these processes.
