[ecrea] Funded PhD opportunity - Constructions and uses of the European past in heritage and political discourse

At Newcastle University we are offering a funded PhD in */Constructions 
and uses of the European past in heritage and political discourse/*.
Interested in connections between memory, heritage and identity in 
Europe?  This project examines how and why particular historical moments 
are mythologised for symbolic effect in official and non-official 
heritage practice and in political discourse. You will explore this over 
a variety of cultural forms, including social media, connecting uses of 
the past to contemporary discourses of European and anti-European 
identities. The full advert can be found here:

A 'Further Details' document (which is essential reading for applicants) 
is available here:

The PhD project is interdisciplinary (heritage studies, memory studies, 
museum studies, politics, digital culture, media and cultural studies) 
with a supervisory team to match. We do not expect candidates to come 
with readymade expertise in all of these areas and training 
opportunities are built into the award. The project will benefit from 
and complement a major EU-funded award led by the primary supervisor: 
_Critical Heritages: performing and representing identities in Europe 
(CoHERE)._ <http://research.ncl.ac.uk/cohere/>
