Helena Bodin is a Professor at the Department of Culture and Aesthetics, Stockholm University. She specializes in Literary History, focusing on literature’s intersections with cultural, linguistic, and religious boundaries. Her research examines modernist and premodern texts, particularly their engagement with Byzantine Orthodox traditions and multilingual contexts in cities like Constantinople/Istanbul. Bodin is affiliated with research groups such as Forum Modernism and the Seminar of Premodern Texts. Her work explores themes of cultural semiotics, intermediality, and translation studies, often analyzing how literature navigates political, ideological, and linguistic complexities. Notable projects include studies on Constantinople’s multilingual literary world and the role of diplomatic narratives. She contributes to Nordic literary translingualism debates and has published extensively on topics ranging from Byzantine hymnography to modernist writers’ engagement with multicultural environments. Her research bridges literary analysis with archival studies, as seen in her exploration of the Gunnar Ekelöf Room’s memorial archives. Bodin’s publications highlight her interdisciplinary approach, blending cultural history, theology, and material textuality.
