Abstract
Recently, I have been challenged by the different paradoxes that assaulted me in the construction of the social Theory of the Imaginary and of an operative model of constructive analysis of Medias� products. It has taken me to it to rethinking the theoretical marks in those that the basic references of the social conceptualisation of the Imaginary ones could be located. Finally, after several discussions maintained with Chilean colleagues, I have been able to end up formulating the function that the Social Imaginary play in societies defined by the functionally differentiated systems. That role could put on in parallel with the distinction inclusion / exclusion that doesn�t generate a system functional matter but rather it works as metacode in each one of the systems to maintain an open and closed operation of each one of the functional differences. The Social Imaginary, through the distinction relevance / opacity constitutes the form in that do autodescription the different systems, in its different means, contributing from that way to build what one can take as guaranteed reality for the individuals located in the environment. Through that form the individuals can irritate to the system in order to produce more functional answers.
