Abstract

The article stresses, among other issues, that there are no active researchers of the imaginary in Brazil. Perhaps that is due to the dificulty to part reality from imaginary in a country with a long tradition of cultural pratrimonialism, since, as we know it, patrimonial culture reaches out strongly to the idea of family broaden by a movement to preserve and transmit assets. Or maybe it is related to the many types of social imaginary that dispute to construct original social relations in popular formations. That makes the imaginary as a substantive always demanding some conceptual effort of our side.
