Literary Studies and Sociology in Dialogue: How Imaginaries Shape Social Reality

Forskning
Kultur & språk
Samhälle & ekonomi

How does social reality come into being? Where do social impulses originate and how do they enter the public sphere? Imaginaries are at least partly constitutive for what societies are, how they develop, how they are modified and continuously negotiated.

Fictional stories, whether in the form of literary texts, visual media, or music and lyrics, can be catalysts for social transformation by reflecting the present from alternative viewpoints, including looking back at the past and imagining possible futures. Fictional stories turn imaginings into possibilities, taking them into the world, bringing them to mind and prototyping possible social realities through images and narration, figures and plots.
