Funded Activity Summary

Medieval war in modern imagination. This project analyses for the first time the growth of medievalist imaginations of war in Australia from colonial times onward. It also investigates for the first time the influence of medievalism on Australian war literature and cinema, exploring how common themes in the representation of Australian war - male group loyalty, anti-authoritarianism, self-sacrifice and posthumous honour - relate to medievalist traditions. The project is of great relevance to current discussions of Australian national identity, and to the public conception of our military role in world and regional affairs, with special relevance to understandings of Australian masculinity, ethnicity and border defence.
