L’immaginazione al lavoro: visioni professionali e organizzative

he contribution is part of the field of study and study of training practices based on the narrative paradigm and medical humanities. In this context, the ways of using and producing iconic mediators of various kinds constitute an increasingly widespread reference in the training experience and in the organizational life connected to the operational practices in which people are involved. The intent of this chapter is to explore aspects and dimensions of professional and organizational seeing, starting from the existing relationship between images and signification processes that characterize the daily work and professional experience of each one. Imagination at work indicates a double attention: the first concerns how the available and circulating images (intentionally produced or conveyed by multiple channels and languages existing in social contexts) are able to generate meaning; the second refers to the meaning of imagination as inherent in the ability to think about oneself with respect to the future (Enriquez, 1996) and to be authors of one's own professional and organizational trajectories (Scaratti et al., 2009), producing and reproducing the systems of activity in which you are involved, through a constant process of dialogic sense-making.
