Social, Economic and Cultural Dynamics:

Changes and Transformations

Abstract

It is undeniable that the changes of the last decade - especially those that have occurred since the pandemic in 2019 - have enabled new spaces for reflection in the different dimensions of the social world, in search of new ways of life that respond to the challenges of a changing society, in an increasingly complex world (Bonil et al., 2004). New ways of understanding reality are presented, in which, from the citizen, political, economic and cultural perspectives, discourses and actions that intentionally generate social changes and transformations (Searle, 2010) are made. Faced with these challenges, various researchers have initiated, from their studies in different fields of knowledge, a series of bets for change. As a response, the authors of the thirteen articles that are included in this issue of Ánfora propose new dynamics that allow progress towards a well-being society in which actions are generated to achieve peace, protect the environment, contribute to the sustainable economy and move towards a culture in which the development of the capacities of beings and their interactions with the world prevails, based on the knowledge built in modern science, art and ancestral wisdom.
