The project aims to explore alternative ways of achieving influence in the public sphere among people who possessed neither formal power nor strong bookish training.
The postdoctoral fellow will analyze radical Pietist practices in their context, focusing on how they translated their conversion into distinct vestimentary, corporal, and emotional styles. Applicants from all relevant fields of research, such as cultural history, sociology, history of ideas, art history, and religious history, are encouraged to apply.
