The ARENAS team is conducting an innovative and ambitious research programme that will significantly contribute to filling gaps in contemporary research and make recommendations to policymakers, media outlets, lawyers, social inclusion professionals, and educational institutions.
The ARENAS project will propose solutions for countering extreme narratives for developing more inclusive and respectful European societies. It also ensures reliable archiving and access to the developed resources even after the project’s lifetime. You can access some of those developed resources here.
Prepared by Julien Longhi (University of Cergy) and Katalin Miklóssy (University of Helsinki), in collaboration with the members and Ethical Board of the ARENAS Horizon project, this Whitebook of Ethics Requirements provides an ethics guideline for the ARENAS project with rules and principles for responsible research. The objective is to promote responsible conduct in research while ensuring that all alleged violations are handled with competence, fairness, and expediency.
The ARENAS project considers the effectiveness of extremist narratives as a fundamentally discursive phenomenon and seeks to identify and characterise their linguistic, and more broadly, semiotic dimensions in order to provide concrete recommendations concerning their detection, characterisation, and prevention.
First, “extremism” needs to be distinguished from other concepts like “hate speech” or “radicalism”, and “narratives” need to be distinguished from other concepts like “ideology”, “discourses”, “frames” or “storytelling”.
This Literature Review aims to define extremist narratives within the academic community (discourse analysis, history, political science, narratology) and develop an operational definition of extremist narratives.
