José I. Prieto-Arranz is Associate Professor of English at the University of the Balearic Islands, Spain. He has conducted research at the intersection of applied linguistics, semiotics, sociology, and cultural studies. His work has examined the construction and expression of national identity in cultural phenomena and products like language acquisition, translation, tourism promotion and advertising, popular music, television, film, and, more recently, literature. Focusing on how literature addresses contemporary nationalism and social fragmentation, he has pioneered the study of neo-historical fiction, including authors like Hilary Mantel and CJ Sansom. His book Ethics and Aesthetics in Ali Smith's Fiction provides the first holistic study of Smith's oeuvre.
