معرفی
Janne Lindqvist serves as Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor in the Department of Literature and Rhetoric at Uppsala University, Sweden. His academic profile spans classical rhetorical theory, historical Swedish poetry, and contemporary public communication.
His research interests focus on:
- The history and theory of rhetoric, particularly ancient Greek sophistical arts and Aristotelian argumentation
- Swedish 17th and 18th century poetry
- Contemporary applications of classical rhetorical principles
- Epideictic rhetoric and emotional topoi in political discourse
Lindqvist's recent publications demonstrate sustained engagement with classical rhetorical foundations while addressing modern contexts. His work reveals three dominant trends: (1) rigorous textual analysis of Aristotle's Rhetoric and Sophistic traditions, (2) historical examination of rhetorical practices in Swedish literature and political discourse, and (3) contemporary applications of classical rhetorical frameworks to pandemic communication and public argumentation. Key recurring themes include emotional topoi, argumentative structures, and the evolution of rhetorical concepts from antiquity to modernity.
Lindqvist has authored the influential textbook Klassisk retorik för vår tid (Classical Rhetoric for Our Time), widely adopted across Scandinavian universities. His scholarly contributions include serving as Swedish national editor of Rhetorica Scandinavica and publishing in journals such as Rhetorica Scandinavica, Eranos, and Tidskrift för litteraturvetenskap.
His academic trajectory includes positions at Mälardalens högskola, Stockholms universitet, and Högskolan i Gävle before his current appointment at Uppsala University since 2010. Lindqvist earned his PhD in Literature from Uppsala University in 2002, with earlier academic training at the same institution.
