Historical-Philosophical Studies of the Imaginary: Possibilities of the Imaginary at Work

The imaginary is both a journey and the nave through which the journey is accomplished. It would be a "cruise" if the word were not so strongly enveloped in the univocity of pleasure. The exploration of our own or collective imaginations is often the space of disillusion and discontinuities. In other words, the imaginary is a trap of sorts and the theoretical exercises to understand its mechanism require the use of tools and methodologies that are at the crossroads of several disciplines. The various contributions in this volume borrow the double potential of what it can mean to work from and with the imaginary.
