Abstract
Esta comunicación explica conceptos sociológicos complejos de forma sencilla, con especial
atención al mundo audiovisual como recurso clarificador. Por ello se usan ejemplos de la serie
de The Wire (HBO 2002-2008) y del comic y la novela gráfica, con alusiones a la película Capitán
America: Guerra civil (2016) basada en un comic de la Marvel. Se parte de una perspectiva de
sociología de sistemas de inspiración Luhmaniana y del concepto de Imaginarios Sociales del
profesor Juan Luis Pintos. La intención última es ofrecer conceptos sencillos para pensar un
presente complejo e imaginar el incierto futuro. Este artículo resume una comunicación oral del
congreso anual del grupo GCEIS en 2016Complex sociological concepts are simplified in this article with a pedagogical goal. To achieve
that goal, TV shows, films and comic books are used as expression of the social use of the
Imaginaries. The TV show The Wire (HBO 2002-2008) and Marvel comics are in consequence
utilized as examples of that social function, as well as some references to the movie Captain
America: civil war (2016). A social system sociological perspective based in Niklas Luhmann and
inspirited in the concept of Social Imaginaries by Pintos founds the theoretical background
employed. This article transcribes a communication where the complexity of social systems
theory of social imaginaries was somehow simplified to grasp an understanding of our complex
present and imagining our uncertain futureinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
