About me
I am Professor of Literature at the Department of Culture and Aesthetics at Stockholm University.
My research concerns the functions of literature at boundaries, such as between languages, nations, arts and media. I have particularly studied modern literature's engagement with the Byzantine Orthodox Christian tradition, from the various perspectives of cultural semiotics (2011), intermedial studies (2013), and translation studies (2002), including aspects of multilingualism.
As a participant in the research programme World Literatures – Cosmopolitan and Vernacular Dynamics (2016–21), I have been working on a subproject focussing on Constantinople (Istanbul) around 1900, when it was a multiethnic, multireligious, and multilingual city with a diversity of writing systems, being not only of aesthetic but also of political, ideological, religious and linguistic interest to writers.
