      • Victorina Press

        Victorina Press was created by  Consuelo Rivera-Fuentes, a Chilean-British writer and academic. We are therefore rooted strongly in Chilean and British cultures. Our mission is to publish inspirational, quality books in the spirit of bibliodiversity, a concept developed by a group of Chilean independent publishers — Editores independientes de Chile. It encourages the celebration of a variety of voices from all over the world and prevents our publishing world from being a monolithic culture. Everyone has a story to tell. We want to be the ones to tell it. Consuelo’s Latin American roots play a huge role in our publishing today, with many of our books being translated into Spanish as stand alone or bilingual publications. Publishing everything from hard-hitting, inspirational memoirs, thrilling YA dystopias, gripping historical fiction, fun early learning, colourful, exciting children's books, literature for the classic shelf, and poetry to entice you, there is one book for every genre!

        Queen Victoria

        by Edith Sitwell, Carl F.W. Behl

        Victoria (1819-1901) wird im Alter von nur 18 Jahren zur englischen Thronfolgerin ernannt – aus der jungen unerfahrenen Königin wird eine der mächtigsten und einflussreichsten Herrscherinnen der Welt. Unter der 63-jährigen Regentschaft der Ur-ur-Großmutter von Queen Elizabeth erlebte das britische Kolonialreich eine unvergleichliche politische, wirtschaftliche und kulturelle Blütezeit, und ihr Wirken und ihr Ruhm reichten weit über ihr Leben hinaus – ein ganzes Zeitalter wurde nach ihr benannt. Edith Sitwell hat die Tagebücher und privaten Briefe von Königin Victoria studiert und erzählt anschaulich aus dem ereignisreichen Leben der Monarchin und von den Intrigen am königlichen Hof.

        Die Victoria Verschwörung

        by Storm, Andreas

        Die fatale Verbindung zwischen dem Duke of Windsor und Adolf Hitler, drei Morde im Schatten eines historischen Staatsbesuchs und eine mysteriöse Erpressung. In seinem neuen Fall gerät Kunstexperte Lomberg gewaltig unter Druck, ermittelt er doch nicht nur im Auftrag der Krone, sondern auch in eigener Sache …  September 2016. Lennard Lomberg erreicht ein Hilferuf aus London. Sir Douglas McEwan, der Leiter des Royal Collection Trust, ist außer sich. Ein anonymer Erpresser behauptet, dass es sich bei dem Lieblingsgemälde der Queen um eine Fälschung handle und sich das Original in seinem Besitz befinde. Außerdem droht er mit der Enthüllung eines brisanten Komplotts um das Kunstwerk, der das politische London erschüttern würde – und das royale gleich mit. McEwan drängt Lomberg zu äußerster Diskretion. Zumal die Kunstgutachterin Alexandra Cullen, die das Gemälde umgehend untersuchen sollte, inzwischen spurlos verschwunden ist. Unterstützt von seiner Tochter Julie entblättert Lomberg nach und nach das blutige Geheimnis des Gemäldes und stößt dabei tief ins Schattenreich der deutsch-britischen Geheimdiplomatie vor. Doch sowohl die Identität des Erpressers als auch das Schicksal Alexandra Cullens bleiben unklar – und die Uhr tickt unerbittlich. Kriminalrätin Sina Röhm hat sich derweil an die Fersen einer Stiftung geheftet, die im Ruf steht, eine neue Rechtspartei zu finanzieren. Dabei stößt sie auf einen Namen, der Lomberg zu denken gibt und schon bald einen ungeheuerlichen Verdacht in ihm weckt...

        Counter print

        The alternative art press in Britain after 1970

        by Victoria Horne

        The history of contemporary art is also a history of its newsletters, manifestos, magazines, pamphlets, and journals. Those periodical publications do not simply communicate or record ideas but have worked in exciting ways to shape art's practices, histories and communities. As a new generation of artists, activists and scholars seek to uncover the histories of alternative publishing and artistic networks, this book gathers original archival discoveries while offering methodologies for studying and thinking with those artefacts. As the first essay collection to focus on the periodical art press and the ways we study it, Counter print offers readers an alternative route into the past fifty years of contemporary art, one that is defiantly collaborative, border crossing and disruptive.

        Writing power

        Intellectuals, legitimacy, and the making of knowledge

        by Sarah Victoria Alexandra Burton

        Writing power radically rethinks the place of the canon and canonicity as objects and concepts in contemporary academia and the everyday intellectual practices of academics. It is distinctive in its demonstration of how academics' engagements with canons shape their writing practices but also how scholars' writing practices, spaces, proclivities, and desires shape the canon and changing ideas of value in canonicity. The book thinks through frequently discussed problems of legitimacy and knowledge production from fresh perspectives of lived experience and the everyday to offer new insights into the politics of knowledge in contemporary social sciences.

        The new pornographies

        Explicit sex in recent French fiction and film

        by Victoria Best, Martin Crowley

        The turn of the twenty-first century has witnessed the striking advance of pornography into the Western cultural mainstream. Symptomatic of this development has been the use by writers, artists, and film-makers of the imagery and aesthetics of pornography, in works which have, often on this basis, achieved considerable international success. Amongst these artists are a number of French authors and directors - such as Michel Houellebecq, Catherine Breillat, Virginie Despentes, or Catherine Millet - whose work has often been dismissed as trashy or exploitative, but whose use of pornographic material may in fact be indicative of important contemporary concerns. In this study of a very significant trend, the authors explore how the reference to pornography encodes diverse political, cultural, and existential questions, including relations between the sexes, the collapse of avant-garde politics, gay sexualities in the time of AIDS, the anti-feminist backlash, the relation to the body and illness, the place of fantasy, and the sexualisation of children. It will be of interest to undergraduates, graduates, and researchers in the fields of French culture, gender, film and media studies.

        Industrial memory in North East England

        Negotiating northernness

        by Victoria Allen

        Industrial memory in North East England examines how the region's industrial myth and memory have been articulated in the renegotiation of northernness. The book offers a critical contextualisation of the concept of northernness and the English North, and an introduction to the concept of the PopCultural Portfolio, a mixed-methods approach to conjunctural analysis in cultural and memory studies. The book provides six richly illustrated case studies to demonstrate the practical application of cultural studies' expansive and inclusive understanding of texts, bringing together materials from North East football, folk, indie and exhibition culture to establish how the North East's industrial past continues to be remembered and functionalised as industrial memory. In turn, the conjunctural analysis demonstrates how industrial memory is articulated and mythologised as north(east)ernes in contemporary popular culture.

        The Irish tower house

        Society, economy and environment, c. 1300–1650

        by Victoria L. McAlister

        The Irish tower house examines the social role of castles in late-medieval and early modern Ireland. It uses a multidisciplinary methodology to uncover the lived experience of this historic culture, demonstrating the interconnectedness of society, economics and the environment. Of particular interest is the revelation of how concerned pre-modern people were with participation in the economy and the exploitation of the natural environment for economic gain. Material culture can shed light on how individuals shaped spaces around themselves, and tower houses, thanks to their pervasiveness in medieval and modern landscapes, represent a unique resource. Castles are the definitive building of the European Middle Ages, meaning that this book will be of great interest to scholars of both history and archaeology.
