التراث الثقافي اللامادي ودوره في الكشف عن التداخل بين المخيال والأنثروبولوجيا

Abstract EN

The aim of this study is to reveal the overlap between the imagination and its role in shaping the folklore, and anthropology's quest to understand folk arts and their social, cultural and artistic impact.

the intangible cultural heritage is one of the important foundations in anthropological studies, because of its importance in understanding the conditions of peoples and their history, and showing their artistic and cultural identity, so the multiplicity of elements of intangible heritage made it the focus of anthropological research to try to understand human culture and the reasons that led it to produce these outputs (tale, myth, legend, folk songs, puzzles...), which are formed from the individual's perceptions and fantasies of his lifestyle or his interactions and relationships with his family members.

cultural heritage is reflected in what the individual lives and imagines, especially with the development of the concept of imagination and the increase of its popular, social and artistic role, the social reality that the individual lives is one of the catalysts for the production of imagination, the intangible cultural heritage between intellectual production on the one hand and its study on the one hand can clarify the relationship between imagination and anthropology.

the study found that the imagination plays a pivotal role in the production of elements of the intangible heritage of some individuals and societies, after which anthropology tries to understand their culture and search for meaning through the symbols produced.
