Political ideologies and social imaginaries

Political ideologies are under debate since they were formed in social history, and to understand modern political life we must still pay attention to them. If political ideologies seems to be the major type of representation that people have to move themselves in political spectrum, I intend to demonstrate that we are witnessing their weakness to provide the needed meaning and to understand our political choices. Dealing with this problematic view, could be helpful to recover the category of social imaginary to enlighten a more adequate comprehension of the phenomenon. Our thesis is that our social imaginary is becoming increasingly fragmented due to the lack of meaning that Political Ideologies once had but it is no longer recognizable in our daily political choices. On the other hand, the cosmopolitical appeal of globalisation does not yet provide a global social imaginary that could be recognizable beyond the scope of a post-ideology era, and, as so, presented itself as fragmented as the former. New social imaginaries are needed to overcome this fragmentation.
