In an attempt to avoid rigid conceptual frameworks that are ill-suited for the (post)modern ubiquity of crisis, this volume adopts a different strategy and intends to provide tools with which to analyze the change from a more contextual, case-specific perspective. The main productive heuristic tool it offers is the phenomena of engagement for social change. Engagement is any collective practice characterized by reflection on the existing social norms and rules, and consequently acting upon or against their change. Change and engagement become inseparable, and it is this relation editors wanted to bring into light with this collection. Contributors gathered in this volume point to the challenges of thinking in terms of the umbrella syntagm: engagement for social change. The main question leading this volume is what is the condition of possibility of engagement for social change today?
