profiel
Sinds augustus 2021 is Berenice Verhelst universitair docent aan de UvA binnen de opleidingen Griekse en Latijnse taal en cultuur en Oudheidwetenschappen. Ze doceert Griekse taal en literatuur en receptie van de klassieke traditie. Ze studeerde (MA 2009) en promoveerde (2014) aan de Universiteit Gent, waar ze van 2015 tot 2021 ook actief was als postdoctoraal onderzoeksfellow van het Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (FWO Vlaanderen).
Als onderzoeker is ze vooral geïnteresseerd in Grieks-Romeinse epische traditie. Haar specialisme is de late oudheid en met name de Griekse epen van Nonnos van Panopolis (5de eeuw n. Chr.) en de epyllia en ekphrastische poëzie van de zogenaamd ''Nonniaanse" dichters. Ze past daarbij methodes en begrippen toe uit de narratologie, genre studies en de antieke retoriek. De resultaten van haar proefschrift over de directe rede in de Dionysiaca verschenen in 2017 bij Brill (+ digitale appendix). Ze is editor van Nonnus in Context IV. Poetry at the Crossroads (Peeters 2022) en Greek and Roman Poetry of Late Antiquity. Form, tradition and context (co-editor Tine Scheijnen, CUP 2022). Momenteel werkt ze aan een digital humanities project DICES (https://www.dices.uni-rostock.de/) over speech in de epische traditie.
Daarnaast is ze ook erg geïnteresseerd in alles wat te maken heeft met vertalen (theorie en praktijk) en de geschiedenis van Latijn en Grieks in vertaling.
