CISNEROS ARAUJO, María Eugenia. Imaginary and civil disobedience. The instituing power. EPISTEME [online]. 2013, vol.33, n.2, pp.21-44. ISSN 0798-4324.

In this paper I intend to demonstrate that civil disobedience belongs to the realm of the imaginary and the imagination; and, that it is an individual and collective creative practice whose purpose is to consolidate the freedom. To do this, I shall rely on the thesis by Cornelius Castoriadis on the imaginary and the imagination and on the approach of Etienne de La Boétie on the voluntary servitude and the posture of Hannah Arendt in regard to civil disobedience. Finally I will present the conclusions with the ideas of Erich Fromm.

Palabras clave : power; domination; freedom.
