Imaginary (Sociology)

Imaginary refers to the system of values, institutions, laws, and
symbols - in short the matrix of ideological meaning - correspondent to a
particular social group upon which said society is constituted.



Cornelius Castoriadis´s The Imaginary Institution of Society introduced the term into modern social theory.



While not constituting an established reality, the social imaginary is
nevertheless an institution inasmuch as it represents the system of
meanings that govern a given social structure. These imaginaries are to
be understood as historical constructs defined by the interactions of
subjects in society. In that sense, the imaginary is not necessarily
"real" as it is an imagined concept contingent on the imagination of a
particular social subject.



It can also be referred to as Social Imaginary.





Popular belief no expresa desde mi punto de vista el sentido exacto del
término original. Las creencias populares (por ejemplo: que tomar jugo
de frutas ácidas combate el resfrío en el invierno por su contenido en
vitamina C) están compendiadas en el imaginario colectivo, pero el
imaginario colectivo no puede reducirse a una creencia popular sin más.
