The Editorial Board of AT-TADWIN is pleased to present this new issue, which brings together a distinguished collection of studies and scholarly interviews exploring the human condition through its relationships with the self, the other, the city, the law, identity, and the profound social and cultural transformations shaping the contemporary world. Although the contributions adopt diverse philosophical, anthropological, sociological, and legal perspectives, they are united by a common concern: understanding the human being as a social, cultural, and historical agent.

The issue opens with a series of studies that investigate the body and dance as spaces of experience and relationality, examine photography in its connection with the earth, beauty, and the world, and reconsider the city as an existential experience that transcends its physical and architectural dimensions to become a place of dwelling and shared human existence. It continues with contributions addressing the philosophical and linguistic foundations of identity, Michel Foucault’s critique of juridical thought, and a sociological analysis of the irregular migration of Algerian women, highlighting the challenges of social stigmatization, gender inequality, and identity reconstruction.

The volume concludes with an interview with the French philosopher Thierry Paquot, who offers a profound philosophical reflection on the city and urban life. Emphasizing a transdisciplinary approach, he discusses the concepts of dwelling, public space, urbanism, citizenship, and the impact of globalization and digital transformations on contemporary urban experience.

This issue reaffirms the journal’s commitment to fostering interdisciplinary dialogue between philosophy and the humanities and social sciences. It seeks to promote rigorous and critical scholarship capable of enriching contemporary debates while encouraging innovative perspectives on the complex issues facing modern societies.

We are delighted to present this issue to researchers, academics, and readers, hoping that it will make a meaningful contribution to scholarly literature and stimulate further research and critical reflection on the evolving relationship between human beings, society, and the rapidly changing world they inhabit.
