Since the 1980s, we have witnessed a succession of crises largely linked to the dominant economic system, based on the objective of growth and to which both humans and nature find themselves subjugated. More than ever, the seriousness of these crises calls for the identification of the interstices through which social transformations can take place, bringing solidarity, emancipation and, more fundamentally, a renewed relationship with the Earth. CRISES' tradition of research into social innovations provides an exceptional starting point for thinking about social innovations as sources of resistance. It also calls for us to move away from disciplinary silos and address the complexity of today's issues in a cross-disciplinary, cross-sectoral way, bridging the gap between research and action. This call for papers thus echoes approaches that address a number of complex issues in various fields, including democratic participation, economics, ecology and technology.
