About the content:

"In an era marked by social uncertainty, fragmentation, and intensified calls for solidarity, collectivity remains a central yet contested phenomenon in the social sciences. Whether as enduring movements, temporary alliances, or spontaneous gatherings, collectives continue to shape political, cultural, and everyday life. Their emergence, internal dynamics, and eventual dissolution raise key questions about social organisation and belonging. Furthermore, scrutinising the emergence and internal dynamics of collectives in environments of protest and resistance is crucial to reflecting on the possibility of collective struggles for human rights and social justice."
