Within the new multicultural socio-urban contexts, many are the questions about the dynamics of relationships among people, with emphasis on moral and pragmatic key issues referring to education, well-fare and legal regulations. The biggest challenge for contemporary democracies is to find morally acceptable and politically viable strategies for the sustainability of social interactions. At present in Europe the assumptions that guided polities for decades are queried by clashes on the rights of migrants and cultural minorities. On the global level, the foundations of the theory of human rights are shaking as they are more and more questioned by diverse cultural traditions. Principles, worldviews, moralities, languages claim their own space for truth, pointing to a contradiction between universalist and relativist tendencies. How is it possible to break the persisting deadlock of fear, anxiety and deep prejudices so as to engage in a pluralistic approach to human rights? How can human rights be turned into a value truly celebrated by all cultures if -more or less- they are only respected in western contexts?

The challenge of protecting the human rights of everyone is to apply a consistent human rights approach and not to exclude any group of people. This contribution focuses on the human rights situation of transgender persons in India. Their problems within society are serious and often specific to this group alone, while their rights are ignored and neglected. Transgender people experience a high degree of discrimination, intolerance and outright violence. Their basic human rights are violated, including the right to life, the right to physical integrity and the right to health. Understanding the current state of gender relations, in democratic societies, and search how they ought to be improved upon is critical to identify new ways to increase the sustainable measures of trust in representative and participatory democracies.

The articles collected in this volume constitute one of the results of a collaborative research project funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme (MSCA-RISE) under the theme of "Technologies of Imaging in Communication, Art, and Social Sciences." This project included researchers from the following institutions: Academy of Art in Szczecin (Poland - coordinator), The Polish University Abroad in London (UK), Association for Education, Science, and Culture in Szczecin (Poland), Univerzita Jana Evangelisty Purkyně v .st. nad Labem (Czech Republic), University of Macerata (Italy), University of the Witwatersrand (Republic of South Africa - until 01.02.2018), Pwani University College (Kenya - from 01.02.2018). The international research project TICASS focused on the investigation of technologies of imaging in communication, arts, and social science. The broad objective of the TICASS project was the perception of the public space – in different places and cultures – through visual language, visual learning, and visual literacy. The present volume is the outcome of an international conference, within the TICASS project, held at the Polish University Abroad in London in 2019, on the theme "The Visual Management of Mobility." The conference focused on how mobility is influenced by visual communication accessed via technology, how different recipient groups understand various kinds of visual communication in cities, and how people's behavior is influenced by visual communication in defined spaces of interaction. The contributors to this volume investigated the ways in which people engage with their environment and with each other on the basis of transformations in communication, mobility, and technological ways to access information. Social mobility, whether by foot, car, or public transport, is guided visually through signage, GPS, online maps, route planning, applications for public transport, and so on. Technology – including smartphones, tablets, and laptops – allows people to navigate to and within ...

Almost a decade has passed since the outbreak of the economic crisis; from its original nucleus, its effects have quickly affected the social and geopolitical fields. Such wide impact and its complex implications make the crisis an object susceptible of multiple readings. The particular aim of the studies collected in this volume is to explore the impact of the crisis on law, culture and society, in order to test the depth of the problem, by comparing the analytical perspectives obtainable from legal and human sciences. The book focuses on three main issues: the crisis as a social object, in order to consider the crisis in terms of its attributing force; the problem of democracy, which is becoming an increasingly central question now, as the changes imposed by the crisis have begun to settle down; the interdisciplinary challenge that, in time of crisis, questions paradigms of knowledge, competences and methods, in order to enable an heuristic dialogue between human, social and legal sciences. ; Introduction / Massimo Meccarelli (pp. 9-12). -- The Crisis as a Social Object : -- Narrating the Crisis: Fictions of Finance in Contemporary British Novels / Silvana Colella (pp. 15-37). -- Social Rights in Crisis: Any Role for the Court of Justice of the EU? / Francesco Costamagna (pp. 39-64). -- Ripensare la nazione ottocentesca.

This book features a discussion on the modernisation of law and legal change, focusing on the key concepts of "innovation" and "transition". These concepts both appear to be relevant and poorly defined in contemporary legal science. A critical reflection on the heuristic value of these categories seems appropriate, particularly considering their dyadic value. While innovation is increasingly appearing in the present day as being the category in which one looks at the modernisation of law, the concept of transition also seems to be the privileged place of occurrence for such dynamics. This group of Italian and Brazilian scholars contributing to this volume intends to investigate such problems through an interdisciplinary prism. It includes points of view both internal to legal studies - such as the history of law, theory of law, constitutional law, private law and commercial law - and external, such as political philosophy and history of justice and political institutions. ; Innovation and transition in law: some introductory remarks on the heuristic value of a conceptual pair / Massimo Meccarelli, Cristiano Paixão, Claudia Roesler (pp. 9-19). -- Time of innovation and time of transition shaping the legal dimension: a methodological approach from legal history / Massimo Meccarelli (pp. 23-44). -- What is a legal transition?
