Social Imaginaries
Published 2015-2019 by Zeta Books
Suzi Adams and Jeremy Smith, Coordinating Editors
Social Imaginaries is a peer-reviewed journal that examines complexes of cultural meaning and cultural projects of power. It presupposes an understanding of society as a political institution, which is formed ¡ª and forms itself ¡ª in historical constellations, and through encounters with other cultures and civilizational worlds. An emphasis on ¡°imaginaries¡± points to interrelated trends: it reveals the modern concern with the social imagination as truly creative rather than reproductive; it highlights the phenomenon of collectively instituted meaning and its inter-cultural variations; it provides a corrective to a one-sided focus on ¡®reason¡¯ as the central tenet (or promise) of modernity; finally, it underscores the ongoing hermeneutical turn in the human sciences.
