Photofascism

Photography, Film, and Exhibition Culture in 1930s Germany and Italy

By: Vanessa Rocco

Photography and fascism in interwar Europe developed into a highly toxic and combustible formula. Particularly in concert with aggressive display techniques, the European fascists were utterly convinced of their ability to use the medium of photography to manufacture consent among their publics. Unfortunately, as we know in hindsight, they succeeded. Other dictatorial regimes in the 1930s harnessed this powerful combination of photography and exhibitions for their own odious purposes. But this book, for the first time, focuses on the particularly consequential dialectic between Germany and Italy in the early-to-mid 1930s, and within each of those countries vis-à-vis display culture. The 1930s provides a potent case study for every generation, and it is as urgent as ever in our global political environment to deeply understand the central role of visual imagery in what transpired. Photofascism demonstrates precisely how dictatorial regimes use photographic mass media, methodically and in combination with display, to persuade the public with often times highly destructive-even catastrophic-results.

Her Tuscan Summer

A beautiful and utterly heart-wrenching romance novel

By: Vanessa Carnevale

Lose yourself in Italian blue skies and sun-kissed streets with this gorgeous, heart-wrenching story about love and second chances. Fans of That Month in Tuscany, T.A. Williams and Lucy Coleman will fall head over heels for Mia and Luca’s incredible romance. Mia Moretti is looking for a place to heal. A devastating illness has taken her talent for painting, and her dreams of being an artist have been broken. Clutching a one-way ticket to Florence, Mia hopes that in Tuscany’s rich green vineyards she can find herself again. It doesn’t take long for Mia to fall in love with the crumbling walls and endless views of Villa Belladonna. But what Mia doesn't count on is handsome local Luca Bonnici. With his charming smile and easy laugh, he intrigues Mia, and his confidence reminds her of the person she used to be. As she jumps on the back of his motorcycle and spends long days gazing into his smouldering chestnut eyes, she begins to feel free. But just as Mia starts to wonder if she could stay in Florence, or hold a paintbrush again, tragedy strikes, and she realises that she may not really know Luca at all. Will the secrets between them bring them together, or force Mia, heartbroken, to return home for good? What readers are saying about Her Tuscan Summer: ‘Absolutely exceptional! Breathtaking; beautiful; heartbreaking and outstanding! I haven't been to Italy, but now, I’d love to go just to walk where Mia and Luca walked.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Breathtaking… will stay with me for a long time... Mia’s struggle touched my heart… I adored this novel… For a wonderful escape into beautiful Florence, I highly recommend this beautiful book (and make sure you have tissues nearby!).’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I cannot recommend this novel enough. Once I opened the first page, I was immediately lost in Mia’s heartfelt journey… a novel that resonates with you, long after the last page is read.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Beautiful, emotional, picturesque… I was swept away… The story of Mia and Luca had me captivated from beginning to end, in fact I read half of this book in one day.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I was absolutely transported to Tuscany and I did not want to leave! Such a gorgeous love story… a set of characters that will stay with you long after you reluctantly have to leave them and Tuscany behind.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A heart-warming, intimate love story that takes the reader on a chauffeured voyage of Florence, and the beautiful surrounding landscapes… a glorious emotion-filled read. The story was so beautifully written and portrayed, that I didn't want it to end.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Bank Debt in Europe

“Are Funding Models Broken”

By: Mrs.Vanessa Le Lesle

The crisis in Europe has underscored the vulnerability of European bank funding models compared to international peers. This paper studies the drivers behind this fragility and examines the future of bank funding, primarily wholesale, in Europe. We argue that cyclical and structural factors have altered the structure, cost, and composition of funding for European banks. The paper discusses the consequences of shifting funding patterns and investor preferences and presents possible policy options and bank actions to enhance European bank funding models’ robustness.

Twists of Fate

Multiracial Coalitions and Minority Representation in the US House of Representatives

By: Vanessa C. Tyson

Members of Congress from racial minority groups often find themselves in a unique predicament: they represent constituencies that are more economically disadvantaged than those of their white colleagues and they themselves experience marginalization during the process of policy formulation on Capitol Hill. In Twists of Fate, Vanessa C. Tyson illuminates the ways in which House representatives from racial minority groups have worked together, through an understanding of their linked political fates, to advocate successfully for equality and social justice.

My Cousin Maria Schneider

A Memoir

By: Vanessa Schneider

“A beautiful eulogy and a much-needed corrective” (The New York Times)—a love letter to Maria Schneider, the 1970s movie starlet who catapulted to fame in the controversial film Last Tango in Paris—only to live the rest of her life plagued by scandal, as told from the perspective of her adoring younger cousin. The late French actress Maria Schneider is perhaps best known for playing Jeanne in the provocative film Last Tango in Paris, directed by Bernardo Bertolucci and released to international shock and acclaim in 1972. It was Maria’s first major role, alongside film legend Marlon Brando, when she was barely eighteen years old. The experience would haunt her for the rest of her life, traumatizing her and sparking a tabloid firestorm that only ceased when she began to retreat from the public eye nearly two decades later. To Maria’s much younger cousin, Vanessa Schneider, Maria was a towering figure of another kind—a beautiful and fearsome fixture in Vanessa’s childhood, a rising star turned pariah whose career and struggles with addiction won the family shame and pride in equal measure. Here, Vanessa recounts the challenges of their overlapping youths and fraught adulthood and reveals both the tragedy and inevitability of Maria’s path in a family plagued by mental illness and in a society rife with misogyny. Unsentimental and moving, My Cousin Maria Schneider is a love letter to a talented artist and the cousin who admired her, and a powerful story of exploitation and how its lingering effects can reverberate through a lifetime.
