Imaginary, Imaginal, Publicity, Communication, MediatizationAbstract
In this paper we seek to outline some aspects evidencing imaginary’scommunicational dimension. This means we need to pay attention to the way
collective imagining shapes social reality and how publicity contributes to this
process. Suggesting a close link between imaginary, society and publicity, we
name “public imaginal” to the dynamic, symbolic and complex set of diverse and heterogeneous imaginaries that permeate societies.
