Lives and Deaths of Werther
A British Academy Monograph
The British Academy has a scheme for the selective publication of monographs arising from its British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships, British Academy Newton International Fellowships, and British Academy/Wolfson Fellowships. Its purpose is to assist individual scholars by providing a prestigious publishing opportunity to showcase works of excellence.
Cristina Moreno-Almeida is a Lecturer in Digital Culture and Arabic Cultural Studies at Queen Mary University of London and Fellow at the Queen Mary Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences. She has worked at the Department of Digital Humanities, King’s College London, and at the Middle East Centre and the Department of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics. Her research interests lie at the intersection of aesthetics, politics, and cultural production. She has published on rap music, memes, the politics of resistance, nationalism, and online far-right cultures. She is the Principal Investigator of the ERC-selected, UKRI-funded project ‘Digital Al-Andalus: Radical Perspectives Of and Through Al-Andalus’ (2023–8), which looks at the melding of historical episodes, nostalgia for lost empires, cultural difference, and violent actions on digital media.
