GARCIA CORNEJO, Héctor. Experiencia ethoica e imaginarios sociales modernos: Contribución a una agenda pendiente. Valenciana [online]. 2014, vol.7, n.13, pp.113-143. ISSN 2007-2538.

This text contains two sections, one suggestion to the research agenda proposed by Lidia Girola on Social Imaginaries, and a critical reading on the Charles Taylor's conceptual platform of the Modern Social Imaginaries theory. It evaluates the Taylor's idea: clarifying the self-understanding of modernity in Western model, it is possible to understand the rest of the modernities. From the B. Echeverría's theory, seems to be unacceptable the explanation of modernity as single and multiple, because It ended up skipping experiences (worlds of life which belonged the multiple) and the fact that a domain pattern comes with Western modernity, which leads to arise some counter imaginaries. With the concept of the Historical Ethos is explored the possibles imaginaries, especially of those who live in the lower part of modernity, omitted by Taylor.

Keywords : Imaginaries; Culture; Bolívar Echeverría; Charles Taylor.
