The popular imagination is thus the privileged field of investigation and more important to understand the culture and contemporary society. sociology is a sociology of the imaginary depth because it attempts to grasp the motivations, the dynamics that underlie and motivate human societies. The imagery throughout the history of civilization, is an intrinsic part of social groups and in the end, a sociology could not exist without imagination, although there is still true to its tradition of sociology of the imaginary, of which this study will constitute a of the first steps. Unlike an area of \u200b\u200bsociology, based on surveys and polls, sociology of the imaginary is not yet a specific field of discipline clearly defined by its object, but is, at present, a unique way of interpreting social life because, an interest the imaginary dimension of relations between individuals, in fact cuts across all areas of analysis.
