Sumario:This article delves into a theoretical discussion regarding imagination as an intrinsic play element of the imaginary. The paper explores the concepts of symbol, image, and imagination, situating the imaginative act within a broader context and highlighting its poetic and fantastical dimensions. Furthermore, it reflects on the significance of play activity in imaginary studies, emphasizing the connection between play and creativity with imagination, which fosters the exploration of new experiences with different realities and the expansion of fictional worlds. This approach enriches our playful comprehension of the imaginary and underscores its pivotal role in promoting rhetoric centered on play, imbuing new meanings into human life.
