Image, Imaginary, Representation

Alma Mater, Bacau

 

Our journal proposes for this volume as main topic Image, imaginary,

representation in which we have tried to reunite scientific papers that will hopefully

find an echo in the scientific and academic communities across the nation and other

countries; this volume of our journal sought to offer the opportunity to have various

interdisciplinary discussions on this generous topic.

The universe of images and concepts such as imagination, imaginary and

imaginariness have drawn the public interest since ancient times. In the 20th century

their systematic analysis was approached from diverse (inter)disciplinary

perspectives (metaphysical, psychological, sociological, political, mythological or

religious, aesthetic, linguistic) and was undertaken by Humanities and Cultural

Studies following different research trends.

All these papers included topics related to the imaginary, imaginariness,

theories of reference and representation. How could we define an image’s nature,

which is real and imaginary at the same time? What relations are there among

simulacrum, image, the unreal and the supernatural? What connections could we

establish between different types of representation produced by the imagination

(reproductive representation and imaginary representation) and the categories of

time and space? Or among representations, perceptions and thought? Is an image the instrument of power? What does an image reveal or veil from the perceiver? Such

questions have always aroused the researchers’ interest and to such questions, we

hope we found some answers.
