Summary/Abstract: The ritualization of community spaces is consecrated throughout history by means of symbolic communication. Starting from the cultural influence of troubadours and going all the way close to present in pop-culture, we can identify the immutability of the inherent factors for the collective imaginary. Seen from an imagological perspective, the dissident socio-cultural groups occupy a special place in history, as capable vectors for closed sociolects capable of trasmiting coded messages through the symbol. As messengers for a rebellious philosophy in the fight for freedom of the individual himself, additionally stigmatised as decadent through the lens of the moral norms imposed by the institutionalized church, the troubadours of courtly love, seekers in the Quest for The Holly Grail, as well as the esoteric group from Monte Verità, were the major players of the cultural revolutions that shook and shaped the very foundations of the Zeitgeist of Humanity.
