Skin and Soil: Bodies, homes and lands between control and resistance
Vol. 10(2026)
This issue of Bbeyond Journal explores the interconnected challenges of bodily autonomy, political violence, human rights, and urban resistance in a rapidly changing global context. Bringing together contributions from political science, cultural anthropology, international law, and interdisciplinary perspectives, this edition examines how female genital mutilation, historical and contemporary conflicts, child soldiering, and housing crises are reshaping contemporary societies. From traditional cultural practices and the geopolitics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the gender health gap, anti-eviction social movements, and the dynamics of state-driven violence, the articles highlight the complexity of balancing fundamental human rights, institutional accountability, and social justice. By addressing both local experiences and global dynamics, this issue reflects on the responsibilities, contradictions, and opportunities that define the contemporary world and the search for more just, equitable, and inclusive futures.
