Summary: | The past is commonly summoned in political speeches and projects. The medieval past has been used as the cradle of nation-states and ‘the West’. This article will address how the Anglo-Saxon past has been used, from the seventeenth century to contemporary discourse. It will discuss how the view(s) and use(s) of this past have changed significantly over time, to the point that its very name has recently been challenged. The main hypothesis of the article is that despite all the debates about early medieval society in Britain, there is still a great need to highlight the connection between the interpretation of this past and racial discourses. The study of such societies in a new light is crucial for rescuing the Middle Ages from its uses by the far right. |

O passado medieval foi apresentado como o berço dos estado-nação e do “Ocidente”. Este artigo irá abordar como o passado anglo-saxão foi usado desde o século XVII até narrativas contemporâneas. Ele irá discutir como a(s) visão(ões) e uso(s) deste passado se transformou(aram) de forma significativa, chegando a ter o seu próprio nome questionado recentemente. A principal hipótese do artigo é que, apesar de toda a discussão sobre a sociedade alto-medieval na Britânia, ainda há uma grande necessidade de sublinhar a conexão deste passado com discursos raciais. O estudo destas sociedades sob novas luzes é crucial para o resgate da Idade Média das garras da extrema-direita.Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa2021-07-07info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.48487/pdh.2021.n12.24965https://doi.org/10.48487/pdh.2021.n12.24965Práticas da História.
