AB Recently, I have been challenged by the different paradoxes that assaulted me in theconstruction of the social Theory of the Imaginary and of an operative model of constructive analysisof Medias’ products. It has taken me to it to rethinking the theoretical marks in those that thebasic references of the social conceptualisation of the Imaginary ones could be located.Finally, after several discussions maintained with Chilean colleagues, I have been able to endup formulating the function that the Social Imaginary play in societies defined by the functionallydifferentiated systems. That role could put on in parallel with the distinction inclusion / exclusionthat doesn’t generate a system functional matter but rather it works as metacode in each one ofthe systems to maintain an open and closed operation of each one of the functional differences.The Social Imaginary, through the distinction relevance / opacity constitutes the form in that doautodescription the different systems, in its different means, contributing from that way to buildwhat one can take as guaranteed reality for the individuals located in the environment. Throughthat form the individuals can irritate to the system in order to produce more functional answers.
