Inhaltsangabe

Imagination has long been a subject of interest and debate, this book considers imagination as a core process in our daily lives and explores how we use it in psychological development as well as in societal change. Tania Zittoun brings together findings from various fields of psychology and the social sciences, and reviews classic studies as well as recent research to propose a new integrative model of imagination in sociocultural psychology. In this book she examines the interrelations between individual lives and social processes as well as the dynamics of creation of new representations and cultural transformations by considering imagination as an important cultural dynamic.
