Through this edition we intend to debate the current dimensions of social action in a global and multicultural context. Social action suffers from a paradigmatic mutation through its interplay with communicative action, in that both interpersonal and mass communication act as the key engines of social action. We are of the opinion that today, more than ever, social action is involved in a continuous process of change. Therefore, we have invited researchers in any field to contribute to a new paradigm of social action, based on the core values of contemporary society.

As a continuation of a previous project oriented towards the reconstruction of social action through a transdisciplinary perspective – the Transdisciplinarity and Communicative Action Conference, developed by the LUMEN Association and its national and international partners – this new edition’s topic – Rethinking Social Action. Core Values – has been successfully embraced by a broad scientific community. This is evident from the large numbers who attended the conference, with a total of 722 participants being registered from countries from Europe, Asia, Africa and America.

The subject interests of the participants were from domains as diverse as social work, sociology, methodology, psychology and the educational sciences, management, politics, European studies, law, applied philosophy, and the sciences of communication and management.
