Fitxa persona

Clara Monzó Ribes (1990) holds a PhD in Advanced Hispanic Studies (2019) and a degree in Hispanic Philology (2008-2013) from the University of Valencia. Her main lines of research focus on the literature of the Golden Age, mainly from three perspectives: the theatre of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the dramaturgy of Calderón de la Barca (staging and acotations) and the generic transversality between the golden classics (Cervantes, El Lazarillo) and modernity. She advocates a multidisciplinary approach that combines theoretical-critical analysis with the editing and exploration of stage language. Her doctoral thesis on stages directions on calderonian theater, directed by Evangelina Rodríguez Cuadros and carried out thanks to an FPU grant from the Ministry of Education, obtained the qualification of ‘Sobresaliente Cum Laude’ and international mention and was awarded the Extraordinary Doctorate Prize (2023). She also holds the Extraordinary Master's Prize in Advanced Hispanic Studies (2013-2014). She has taught at the Universitat de València and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Previously, she held a postdoctoral research contract at the University of Vienna, where she carried out her scientific activity as part of the international project ‘Sound and Meaning in Spanish Golden Age Literature’ (FWF Austrian Science Fund P32563-G), funded by the Austrian government.

Her publications include several critical editions of Lope de Vega for the Partes de comedias, coordinated by Prolope group and published by Gredos, as well as an annotated didactic edition of Calderón's El alcalde de Zalamea. To date, he has numerous publications, including book chapters and articles, which have appeared in indexed journals and publishers included in the SPI index. In addition, she occasionally writes articles on classics as a contributor to the journal Contexto (ctxt).

In terms of internationalisation, she has undertaken research stays, supported by two FPU grants for pre-doctoral mobility: the University of Virginia (2016) and the Università Ca'Foscari in Venice (2017). In recent years, she has participated in several international conferences, seminars and research meetings and has been a speaker on other occasions.

She is part of the CATCOM research team, led by Teresa Ferrer Valls, and of the teaching innovation project ‘Mujeres y escritoras no canónicas de la literatura española e hispanoamericana: Fuentes bibliográficas para su didáctica e investigación en formato digital’ (Women and non-canonical writers in Spanish and Latin American literature: Bibliographic sources for teaching and research in digital format), led by Isabel Díez Ménguez (UCM). In the past, she has taken part in different research projects, including the macro-project ‘TC/12’ (the only one in philology in the Consolider programme of the National R+D+i Plan), the transversal project ‘Observatorio de Espacios Escénicos’ of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (which is part of the R+D+i Projects ‘Retos investigación’ of the Ministry of Science and Innovation) and the project based at the University of Vienna, mentioned above.

She is the author of the book of poems Llevar la casa (Isla Elefante, 2024).
