Vol. 13 No. SI 1 (2026): Dialogues on Human Fragilities in Contemporary Times Guest Editors : Profa. Marta Luciane Fischer y Profa. Caroline Filla Rosaneli (PUC-Paraná)

The global society is going through a period marked by profound structural transformations. The intensification of climate change, the growing occurrence of extreme environmental events, and the degradation of ecosystems are producing significant impacts on living conditions across different regions of the world.
At the same time, armed conflicts, population displacements, political polarization, food insecurity, economic crises, and persistent inequalities are widening scenarios of instability and uncertainty. Understanding contemporary vulnerabilities has become fundamental for developing strategies of adaptation, governance, and socio-environmental justice.
This debate engages directly with the challenges posed by the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), demanding analytical approaches capable of articulating different fields of knowledge.
This dossier embraces interdisciplinarity as an epistemological and methodological stance: it calls for contributions that explicitly articulate two or more fields of knowledge — humanities, applied social sciences, health, biological sciences, environmental sciences, engineering, public policy — around contemporary human fragilities. Priority is given to works linked to SDGs 3, 10, 11, 13, 16, and 17, which structure the thematic areas that follow.
