Vol. 4 No. 2 (2026): Mapping Knowledge in Contemporary Contexts

Current scholarly production takes place in environments characterized by the interconnection of disciplines, technological transformation, and social complexity. In this context, academic research requires new ways of understanding, organizing, and representing knowledge, integrating diverse perspectives that allow for the interpretation of contemporary phenomena from multiple angles. This issue seeks to bring together works that explore new configurations of knowledge, emerging methodologies, and the ways in which science contributes to understanding current dynamics in social, educational, technological, environmental, economic, and cultural spheres.
