The imaginary (or social imaginary ) is a set of values, institutions, laws, and symbols that are common to certain social groups and related societies in which people imagine their entire social. Imaginary concepts have drawn attention in sociology, philosophy, and media studies.

Definition
For John Thompson, social delusion is "the creative and symbolic dimension of the social world, the dimension in which humans create a common way of life and the way they represent their collective life."
For Manfred Steger and Paul James, "imaginary is the patterned pattern of the whole social." This deep understanding mode provides most of the pre-reflexive parameters in which people imagine their social existence - expressed, for example, in the 'global,' 'national,' ' the moral order of our day. '"
Castoriadis
In 1975, Cornelius Castoriadis used this term in his book The Imaginary Institution of Society, maintaining that "the delusion of society... creates for every historical period a single way of life, seeing and making its own existence." For Castoriadis , 'the center of the imaginary meaning of a society... is a rope that binds a society together and forms that define what, for a given society, is' real'.
In the same way, Habermas writes about 'the enormous background of the context of the world of life... a mutually supportive human life that provides the support of a large background consensus'.
Lacan
"The imagination is presented by Lacan as one of three intersecting orders that govern all human existence, others become symbols and real ones." Lacan responded to L'Imaginaire, the title of 'psychology of imagination phenomenology' published by Sartre in 1940, in which he referred to the image as a form of consciousness. Lacan also drew on the way "Melanie Klein pushed back the boundaries where we can see the function of subjective identification operate", in his work on fantasy - something that his followers extended to an analysis of how "we all tend to be drawn into the system social fantasies ... experience being within certain collectivist collections of human beings â €. "Although only in the early years of childhood that man lives fully in Imaginary, remains clearly present throughout life individual".
Imaginary as the Lacanian term refers to illusion and attraction with body image as a coherent unity, derived from a double relationship between the ego and the speculative or mirror image. The illusion of coherence, control, and totality is by no means unnecessary or unimportant (as something illusory). "The term 'imaginary' is clearly allied with 'fictitious' but in the sense that Lacanian is not only identical with fiction or unreal, on the contrary, imaginary identification can have a very real effect'.
Taylor
Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor uses the concept of modern social imaginaries to explore the Western transition from hierarchical norms from pre-modern social imagination to egalitarian, horizontal, direct access to the social imagery of modernity. He saw the ideals of Renaissance civilization and self-fashioning as a sort of half-house on the road to modernity and modern morality. Modern social imagination which he considers to consist of systems of interrelated fields, including reflexivity and social contracts, public opinion, and the public realm of Habermas, political economy/market as an independent power, and self-government of citizens in a society as normative ideal.
Taylor has acknowledged the influence of Benedict Anderson in the formulation of his concept of social imagination. Anderson treats the nation as "the imagined political community... nationality, and nationalism, are cultural artifacts of a certain kind".

Ontology
Although it is not an established reality, social delusion remains an institution in which it represents a system of meaning that governs certain social structures. This imagination should be understood as a historical construction defined by the subject's interaction in society. In that sense, the imaginary is not always "real" because it is an imagined concept that depends on the imagination of a particular social subject. Nevertheless, there is still some debate among those who use the term (or related terms, such as imaginaire , regarding the ontological status of Imaginary). Some, like Henry Corbin, understand imaginary to be truly real, while others consider it only a social or imagined reality.
John R. Searle considers the ontology of social delusion to be complicated, but in practice the complex structure of social reality is, to say, unweighted and invisible. The child was raised in a culture where he simply accepted social reality... The complex ontology looked simple '. He adds subtle differences that social reality is a relative-observer, and so does' inherit the ontological subjectivity. But this ontological subjectivity does not prevent claims about the features of the observer-relative from being an epistemic objective '.
Technology
In 1995 George E. Marcus edited a book titled Technoscientific Imaginaries that ethnographically explored contemporary science and technology. A collection of meetings in the field of technocultures by a group of anthropologists and others, this volume aims to find strategic change sites in the contemporary world that no longer conform to traditional ideas and pedagogy and best explored through collaborative efforts between technologists and social scientists. While Lacanian fantasy is only indirectly called, the interaction between emotion and reason, desire, symbolic order, and the real is repeatedly examined. The most important thing in the technical side of this imaginary is the visual, statistics, and other representational imaging modes that have facilitated scientific development and sometimes misguided, sense of objectivity and certainty. Such a work accepts that 'the meaning of technology is historically based and, as a result, becomes situated within the larger social delusion'.
Media Imagination
Some media experts and historians have analyzed technological delusions as they emerge, such as electricity, cell phones, and the Internet.
Imaginary series
A recent study led by a team from Università © Grenoble offers to develop an imaginary concept and understand how it functions when dealing with serial artwork.
This study, published in Imaginaire sÃÆ' © riel: Les mÃÆ' © canismes sÃÆ' © riels ÃÆ' l'oeuvre dans l'acte crÃÆ' © atif , (Jonathan Fruoco and Andrà © a Rando Martin (Ed.), Grenoble, UGA Edition, 2017), subscribe to Gilbert Durand's thought school in Grenoble and question the impact of serialization on our imagination and define the delusion of seriality.
The development of this concept allows for a better understanding of the close relationship between the ability to condition and regulate the exchange between experience and its representation, and procedures based on the rhythmic repetition of one, or several, paradigms within a determined and coherent body, allowing their reproduction and inflection 6.
Serial art works thus form a special field of study because they transform recursion and redundancy into principles of ordering. This study attempts to illustrate the conceptualization of this imaginary series by analyzing the serial literature, television series, comic books, music and dance series, etc.
