Written by members of the Social Imaginaries Editorial Collective, these programmatic essays showcase new critical interventions in understandings of social imaginaries and the human condition. They include a new comparative approach to theorizing Castoriadis, Ricoeur, and Taylor; the rethinking of the creative imagination in relation to common sense; analyses of political imaginaries in neoliberal and constitutional contexts from perspectives drawing on Gauchet and Lefort; and the taking up questions of historical continuity and discontinuity in civilizational worlds. In addressing pressing questions concerning social imaginaries, the book advances the field as a whole. The book includes a Foreword by George H. Taylor. This book is a must-read for all scholars interested in social and political imaginaries and will appeal to researchers and graduate students working across a wide variety of disciplines in the human sciences.

In an expansion of his 2012 Robson Classical Lectures, Clifford Ando examines the connection between the nature of the Latin language and Roman thinking about law, society, and empire. Drawing on innovative work in cognitive linguistics and anthropology, Roman Social Imaginaries considers how metaphor, metonymy, analogy, and ideation helped create the structures of thought that shaped the Roman Empire as a political construct. Beginning in early Roman history, Ando shows how the expansion of the empire into new territories led the Romans to develop and exploit Latin's extraordinary capacity for abstraction. In this way, laws and institutions invented for use in a single Mediterranean city-state could be deployed across a remarkably heterogeneous empire. Lucid, insightful, and innovative, the essays in Roman Social Imaginaries constitute some of today's most original thinking about the power of language in the ancient world.

How to study the contemporary dynamics between the religious, the nonreligious and the secular in a globalizing world? Obviously, their relationship is not an empirical datum, liable to the procedures of verification or of logical deduction. We are in need of alternative conceptual and methodological tools. This volume argues that the concept of ‘social imaginary’ as it is used by Charles Taylor, is of utmost importance as a methodological tool to understand these dynamics. The first section is dedicated to the conceptual clarification of Taylor's notion of social imaginaries both through a historical study of their genealogy and through conceptual analysis. In the second section, we clarify the relation of ‘social imaginaries’ to the concept of (religious) worldviewing, understood as a process of truth seeking. Furthermore, we discuss the practical usefulness of the concept of social imaginaries for cultural scientists, by focusing on the concept of human rights as a secular social imaginary. In the third and final section, we relate Taylor's view on the role of social imaginaries and the new paths it opens up for religious studies to other analyses of the secular-religious divide, as they nowadays mainly come to the fore in the debates on what is coined as the ‘post-secular.’

This work consists of a compilation of summaries of several articles whose common axis is the theme that entitles the work: the social imaginary. First of all, Esther Díaz, in WHAT IS THE SOCIAL IMAGINARY? she defines the term for us and gives us a historical overview of its application. Then, B. Baczko in LOS IMAGINARIOS SOCIAL, proposes to analyze the collective representations that societies elaborate about themselves: they constitute ideas-images that appear included in the category of social imaginaries. The author's HYPOTHESIS is that “one of the functions of social imaginaries consists in the organization and control of collective time on the symbolic plane”. Subsequently, we present examples of the application of the concept in different settings: "The imaginary of death (1976-1983)", which is part of Melo and Raffin's book IMAGES, MYTHS AND METAPHORS OF ARGENTINE SOCIETY. From the same authors, POWER, SOCIAL IMAGINARY AND LITERATURE. To close, a work by Adrián Melo, THE SOCIAL IMAGINARIES OF THE END OF THE MILLENNIUM IN THE TELEVISION SERIES THE X FILES and another by Eliseo Verón, TELEVISION STORY AND SOCIAL IMAGINARY.
