Lilli Hölzlhammer

Lilli Hölzlhammer is a Researcher in Greek at the Department of Linguistics and Philology at Uppsala University. Her scholarly work bridges classical studies, medieval literature, and translation theory with significant contributions across multiple linguistic traditions.

Her research interests include:

• Medieval literature and its reception across cultural boundaries
• Translation theory and historical translation practices
• Byzantine studies and Greek literary traditions
• Narrative strategies in multilingual contexts
• Gender and queer theory applications to medieval texts
• Cross-cultural transmission of knowledge and literary forms

Analysis of Dr. Hölzlhammer's recent publications reveals a consistent focus on how literary works were adapted across linguistic and cultural boundaries during the medieval period. Her work on Medea translations, Kalila wa-Dimnah transmission, and gender in medieval animal stories demonstrates how narrative forms evolve through translation while maintaining core elements. She frequently examines the intersection of educational purposes with literary adaptation, particularly in works that transmitted knowledge across civilizations.

Dr. Hölzlhammer has established interdisciplinary collaborations, evidenced by her publications in both literary studies journals and psychology publications about adolescent development. This cross-disciplinary approach enriches her primary research in medieval literature with insights from behavioral sciences, demonstrating the value of interdisciplinary perspectives in understanding textual transmission and reception.
