New arrivals

New Arrivals in Marketing

This selection offers a journey through the many facets of contemporary marketing — from value-based branding to the role of artificial intelligence, from unconventional techniques to the psychological dynamics that influence consumers and voters alike. Readers will find reflections on the relationship between communication, politics and society, along with practical tools for understanding and managing social media. Emerging themes include new models such as brand activism and marketing as relationship-building, as well as critical perspectives on its excesses.

A Possible Change: Educate, Expose, Rebuild

This collection explores the issue of male violence against women in all its forms, including femicide and domestic, digital, and cultural abuse. The selected works delve into the roots of patriarchy, the dynamics of dominant masculinities, and the impact on those who experience violence as well as on the people around them. The showcase also highlights the importance of prevention, gender and sexuality education, and the need to recognise and name violence as a political act. Several titles offer pathways for change, introducing alternative models of masculinity, accounts of rebuilding one’s sense of self after trauma, and tools to challenge stereotypes and secondary victimisation. The selection also broadens the perspective to a global level, drawing on movements such as #MeToo and analyses of the online “manosphere”.

The Electronic Oracle: AI’s Challenges

In today’s world, artificial intelligence is no longer just a technology — it is a powerful force reshaping how we think, communicate, work, and live. This themed showcase presents a curated selection of essays, reflections, and analyses on AI, delving into its philosophical and ethical dimensions, as well as its real-world applications in media, finance, and the workplace. It’s an invitation to explore how artificial intelligence is redefining human experience and the very forms of knowledge.
