Sarance Editorial No. 53

Abstract

This editorial addresses the urgent need to rethink the relationship between humanity, the planet, and other forms of life in the context of the contemporary socio-environmental crisis. From an interdisciplinary perspective, it proposes overcoming the fragmentation of knowledge and fostering dialogue among the social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences. The role of universities is emphasized as key spaces for building sustainable futures based on care, interdependence, and collective responsibility. Drawing on the theoretical contributions of authors such as Dipesh Chakrabarty and Helen Longino, the article challenges the notion of neutral objectivity and proposes a "dynamic objectivity" that acknowledges the subject’s involvement in knowledge production. In the face of climate change, structural inequalities, and a global legitimacy crisis, the article calls for a critical and engaged practice that connects the local with the global. Transforming the present requires rethinking knowledge as a common good and as a tool for collective action and care for life in all its forms.
