Synopsis

This collective volume explores the thresholds of the present through a transdisci-plinary lens that articulates the social sciences, humanities, and public manage-ment. Throughout its pages, the tensions between technology, power, and con-temporary subjectivities are addressed. The chapters critically examine phenome-na such as the algorithmic management of work, e-government barriers, urban exclusion, and artificial intelligence in ethical deliberation. Furthermore, it delves into legal issues concerning access to justice and the reparation of harm, while vindicating interculturality, identity resistance, and inclusive education. The work integrates reflections on sustainability, labor dignification, and new organizational and forensic methodologies. Overall, this compilation invites a rethinking of nor-mative structures and institutional practices, offering a map of problems that de-mands comprehensive policies and solid ethical frameworks, consolidating itself as a starting point for academic debate and the construction of equitable societies.
