FROM WIDUKIND TO WILDERS
Utrecht,
NE
About event:
In this joint
presentation, the project members of Utrecht
will offer four brief contributions, comparing the uses of
the past in early medieval texts with those of contemporary
conservative populists. Of course the context, the media and
the audience are all different, yet there are surprising
similarities in the way in which a newly constructed past
offered stability and solid authority in a rapidly changing
world.
