Although the question of imagination is absolutely central to Castoriadis' thought, the expression "corporal imagination" - used by Castoriadis to describe the process of socialization of the psychic monad - is a hapax in his work. However, the context in which this expression appears and the demands proper to what Castoriadis called "the project of autonomy" justify giving it a conceptual value. Since Castoriadis never elucidated this notion, I try to make sense of it by confronting it to related concepts elaborated by three different authors: F. Dolto, M. Mauss and P. Bourdieu.
