Abstract
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.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
