This book positions imagination as a central concept which
increases the understanding of daily life, personal life choices,
and the way in which culture and society changes. Case studies from
micro instances of reverie and daydreaming, to utopian projects,
are included and analysed. The theoretical focus is on imagination
as a force free from immediate constraints, forming the basis of
our individual and collective agency. In each chapter, the authors
review and integrate a wide range of classic and contemporary
literature culminating in the proposal of a sociocultural model of
imagination. The book takes into account the triggers of
imagination, the content of imagination, and the outcomes of
imagination. At the heart of the model is the interplay between the
individual and culture; an exploration of how the imagination, as
something very personal and subjective, grows out of our shared
culture, and how our shared culture can be transformed by acts of
imagination. Imagination in Human and Cultural Development offers
new perspectives on the study of psychological learning, change,
innovation and creativity throughout the lifespan. The book will
appeal to academics and scholars in the fields of psychology and
the social sciences, especially those with an interest in
development, social change, cultural psychology, imagination and
creativity.
