معرفی
Nils Ekedahl is an Associate Professor and university lecturer in rhetoric at Södertörn University, where he has served as Pro-Rector (Vice-Chancellor) since 2011. He holds a PhD in Literary Studies and specializes in historical rhetoric, with affiliations exclusively within Södertörn University's leadership and academic faculties.
His research examines political rhetoric in Sweden (1600–1850), classical rhetoric's influence on scientific thought (notably Carl von Linné), and intersections between rhetoric, politics, and historiography. Key areas include:
- Theory and history of rhetoric pedagogy
- Rhetoric as a vehicle for practical knowledge
- Pre-modern political communication (e.g., 17th-century tribute literature)
Ekedahl's publications focus on rhetorical analysis of historical texts, spanning monarchical propaganda, religious sermons, and governance narratives. His 1999–2010 works consistently explore how rhetoric shapes political authority, national identity, and historical interpretation.
