معرفی
Craig Kelly is a doctoral researcher at Uppsala University's Department of History, focusing on the intellectual, political, religious, and cultural history of mid-seventeenth century Northern Europe. His research explores the interplay between historical facts and their representations, emphasizing power dynamics and communication strategies during periods of state breakdown and reconstruction.
His methodological approach integrates multimedia sources such as political pamphlets, sermons, artwork, and ceremonial practices, inspired by Monica Stensland's analysis of Habsburg communication strategies. Notable contributions include a 2015 publication in Historisk Tidskrift titled Practices and Performances: Between Materiality and Morality in Pre-Modernity.
