RESEARCH ON THE MODERN IMAGINARY IN THE ACTUAL CULTURAL CONTEXT

Summary/Abstract: Due to the contribution of numerous scholars, philosophers, psychologists, theoreticians and historians, the modern science of the imaginary increases research in about 40 institutions and research laboratories. The fact that there are many centres investigating the imaginary demonstrates that the science of the imaginary is one of the imperatives of the contemporary world and of the development of postmodern society, proving, at the same time, the interdisciplinarity of the phenomenon, the real contributions of image to the formation of the human universe, as well as the contribution of thinking, philosophy and culture to man’s cognitive activities. In addition, the dynamic and reassessment of image, the symbolic function and the functional coherence of image, leading to a multiplication of meaning, to new chaining processes and to discourse perversion Ŕ in short, to a pluridimentional logic and to special semantics, grounded on the nature of the image itself Ŕ, give priority to the word in the formation of this poetic reality and provides discourse with creative dynamism. Thus, the final product is the inauguration of the poetic imaginary that leads to new metamorphoses.
