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，并在当前跨越政治光谱、时间和国界传播意识形态。它的目的是产生关于中世纪及其说服力的新知识。它将通过创新的跨学科方法、数字分析和参与的伙伴关系，为极端分子利用流行文化提供新的线索。它将提高识别极端主义信息的能力，并创建新的基层项目，促进政治宽容和对极端主义宣传和极右翼意识形态的抵御能力，通过加强澳大利亚的安全、社会凝聚力和国家价值观，产生社会和文化效益。

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.
