Talk:Imaginary (sociology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While not constituting an established reality, the social imaginary is nevertheless an institution inasmuch as it represents the system of meanings that govern a given social structure. These imaginaries are to be understood as historical constructs defined by the interactions of subjects in society. In that sense, the imaginary is not necessarily "real" as it is an imagined concept contingent on the imagination of a particular social subject.

I took the word "memeplex" out of the definition--it's not helpful to use one kind of jargon to expain another.--WadeMcR 20:18, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
