| Summary: | The various approaches that, over time, have been developed and applied to study the urban, have privileged the visible city, the matter, the physical universe; it mean, the city itself such as spatial geographic dimension (the ecology of living) and not the urban as an socio-cultural and anthropological dimension (the culture of living). The analysis of the material conditions of the city while it is necessary, is not sufficient, since the city is also a stage of desires of evocations and dreams of its inhabitants who, on a daily basis and relentless way, are building one or multiple images of her. This article, which is part of a research project on urban imaginaries, deals precisely the reflection on the city understood as a place of cultural event and scenario of an imaginary effect, the symbols on it built by its own inhabitants; that hidden or invisible city which constitutes a complex network of symbols in permanent construction. In this framework, we focus on the notion of territory, conceived as a cultural construction and its relationship with the imaginary and the symbolic.Keywords: City, culture, territory, urban imaginaries. |
