The role of historical narratives in extremist propaganda.

一些恐怖组织被认为在利用通信来实现其目标方面非常成功。打击暴力极端分子叙事的第一步是了解其叙事的结构和应用。该项目将研究该领域一个研究不足的领域：极端主义宣传中历史叙事的使用。将对选定的一些极端组织的宣传进行深入的历史案例研究。历史叙事的使用将在案例研究内部和之间进行分析，以更深入地了解历史叙事如何在极端主义宣传中被利用。

Some terrorist groups have been recognised as being highly successful in exploiting communications to achieve their goals. The first step in countering violent extremists' narratives is to understand the construction and application of their narratives. This project will examine an under-researched area in this field: the use of historical narratives in extremist propaganda. In-depth historical case studies will be conducted of the propaganda produced by a selected number of extremist organisations. The use of historical narratives will be analysed both within and between the case studies to provide a deeper understanding of how historical narratives are exploited in extremist propaganda.
