Resumen
INGOLD, Tim. DREAMING WITH DRAGONS: ON REAL LIFE´S IMAGINATION. Nómadas [online]. 2015, n.42, pp.13-31. ISSN 0121-7550.
Based on studies on medieval monasticism and native ontologies of northern Canada, this text shows how to overcome the gap between the real world and the imagination about it, foundation of the official science procedures. The paper argues that Bacon's maxim "appeal to the facts", assumed by this science, has left imagination adrift, far away from its anchoring ground. The article displays some alternative ways of reading and writing that could allow us to listen to the advice of the pages as well as the world around us, thus healing the rupture between world and imagination.
