The Social Routes of the Imaginary
The Social Routes of the Imaginary
Description
The question of imaginary starts where its opposition to reality ends. Once this opposition is dismissed, it becomes possible thinking of imaginary as a mean of construction and transformation of the social reality. A series of essays – regarding the taking form of socio-anthropological environments; the collective dynamics of social integration; the mass media metamorphosis; the politics legitimation processes; the symbolic dimension of economics and that of the material culture; the representation of otherness – trace an analytical perspective in which imaginary represents an essential tool for a deep understanding of social phenomena.
