Abstract

This article explores representations of the Third Crusade in David Eldridge's play Holy Warriors: A Fantasia on the Third Crusade and History of Violent Struggle in the Holy Lands (2014). It argues that Eldridge tries in some instances to present the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a legacy of European imperialism in the Middle East and warns against contemporary Western involvement in the region. However, on other occasions, he suggests that Islamic cultures are incompatible with Western values of secular democracy and therefore the two-state solution is more applicable a solution that the one-state settlement. Ultimately, Eldridge shares some of the ideas behind Huntington's theory of the ‘Clash of Civilisations’ and supports Western military action in Muslim-majority countries.

萨拉丁、拉丁十字军和巴勒斯坦：大卫·埃尔德里奇的神圣战士和“文明冲突”宣传

本文探讨了大卫·埃尔德里奇戏剧《神圣战士：第三次十字军东征幻想曲》和《圣地暴力斗争史》（2014）中对第三次东征的描述。它认为，埃尔德里奇在某些情况下试图将以色列-巴勒斯坦冲突描述为欧洲帝国主义在中东的遗产，并警告当代西方不要介入该地区。然而，在其他场合，他认为伊斯兰文化与西方世俗民主价值观不兼容，因此两国解决方案比一国解决方案更适用。最终，埃尔德里奇分享了亨廷顿“文明冲突”理论背后的一些想法，并支持西方在穆斯林占多数的国家采取军事行动。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
