Reframing Futures
Concepts and Challenges in a Rapidly Changing World
About the Book:
An interdisciplinary volume that explores the transformation of key concepts as they confront the realities of an increasingly complex, unstable, and interconnected world. It brings together critical voices from the humanities, social sciences, and emerging fields to reimagine the intellectual tools we use to understand and shape contemporary change.
This book addresses a core concern of our times: the inadequacy of inherited frameworks to grasp the shifting terrain of identity, knowledge, governance, technology, and planetary survival. Each chapter revisits a concept under pressure whether due to climate crisis, digital disruption, political volatility, or socio-cultural fragmentation and offers new directions for theory, reflection, and action.
