The social imaginary is the imaginary system that holds society together. It provides the web of meanings and structures that guide our collective and individual actions and values.

The whole being of writing: a text consists of multiple writings, issuing from several cultures and entering into dialogue with each other, into parody, into contestation; but there is one place where this multiplicity is collected, united, and this place is not the author, as we have hitherto said it was, but the reader.

“An organism that is too greedy and takes too much without giving anything in return destroys what it needs for life.”
