This volume tries to critically engage with the changing times to search for interdisciplinary reimaginations. It demands new hermeneutical stances that take into account the epistemological and existential particularities of the time. It challenges us to revisit the structures of the society in order to emulate a paradigm that can been visioned which reimagines, reinterprets and re-presents the social norms and discourses. This paradigm should enable the community to be shaped and be instilled with a collective consciousness that enlivens counter-discourses.
