No. 20 (2020): Social Transformations and Contemporary Representations

This monographic issue analyzes the social transformations that characterize the contemporary world. It highlights how economic, cultural, and political changes affect the organization of communities and people’s everyday lives. Emerging social processes—such as human mobility, labor precariousness, and the expansion of tourism—are examined, emphasizing their effects on territories and community dynamics. The volume includes works focused on cultural representations and the construction of identities, analyzing the role of media, educational, and artistic discourses in shaping subjectivities and reproducing social stereotypes. It also incorporates contributions that address these issues from gender perspectives, making structural inequalities visible and offering critical interpretations of social relations.
