Digital Al-Andalus

Welcome to the Digital Al-Andalus YouTube Channel 

Digital Al-Andalus is an ERC Starting Grant research for the project 'Digital Al-Andalus: Radical Perspectives Of and Through Al-Andalus' (2023-2028) which explores how the historical legacy of Al-Andalus, the eight-century Muslim rule over the Iberian Peninsula (711–1492), is being reshaped and weaponized in today's digital landscape. 

Bridging research on radicalism, digital media, and historical memory, this project examines how online communities, including trolling networks, far-right movements, and violent Islamist groups, manipulate the past to justify contemporary conflicts. By dissecting digital spaces where history is rewritten, debated, and distorted, DigitalAlAndalus sheds light on the intersection of nostalgia, identity politics, and online radicalisation.
