معرفی
Dr. Monika Raic is a Postdoctoral Researcher (scientific collaborator) at the Institute of Romance Studies, Faculty of Languages and Literature, Humboldt University of Berlin. Her academic work focuses on Spanish-language literatures with particular emphasis on Mexican and Argentine literature. She maintains an active research agenda while teaching courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
Dr. Raic's research interests span literary and film studies, gender studies, the history of emotions, psychoanalysis, and political philosophy. Her current habilitation project, "Politics of Loneliness – Problems of Recognition," examines loneliness as a phenomenon arising from disturbed recognition processes rather than clinical pathology. She works with Latin American recognition theorists including Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez and Bolívar Echeverría to critique traditional European and US recognition debates (Nancy Fraser, Axel Honneth, Jessica Benjamin) while analyzing 20th-century literature and film from Mexico and Argentina.
Her scholarly work demonstrates consistent engagement with transnational themes including cosmopolitanism, world literature, globalization, translation processes, and the Anthropocene. She has organized numerous academic events on topics ranging from loneliness studies to race theory, and has presented lectures internationally at institutions including Yale, Harvard, and the University of Buenos Aires.
Dr. Raic is an active member of several academic societies including the German Society for General and Comparative Literature (DGAVL), International Alfred Döblin Society, German Association of Romance Language Studies (DRV), and German Hispanist Association (DHV).
