Pages: 138-157
Abstract
Consciousness is a human phenomenon that is uniquely embodied by humans, as it is a concept primarily linked to mental and intellectual activity. Consciousness is considered a true indicator of intellectual maturity and cognitive development. This complex, interconnected concept holds great significance in psychological, psychosociological, and sociological studies. It transcends cognitive boundaries and permeates the aforementioned fields, as well as others. Sociologists have given particular attention to this concept, including figures such as Igor Kon, Burhan Ghalioun, and even some thinkers like Abdul Karim Bakkar. However, studies especially within the fields of communication and media on this topic remain limited and insufficient. This article seeks to shed light on the relationship between consciousness and another concept that shares similar methodological characteristics in terms of complexity, dissemination, and comprehensiveness: the concept of mass imagination. Here, we speak of the imagination constructed upon the media content provided by globalized media. So, what is the relationship between these two concepts? And what is the reality of the socio-communicational concepts being produced?
