摘要本文探讨了想象作为一种交际资源在互动中的运用。通过在加州一家建筑公司的人类学田野调查中收集到的实际想象力的例子，我提出了“协作想象”的概念，作为一种社会的、共同产生的活动，在这种活动中，思想的对象在面对面互动的共享空间中被创造和操纵。这样的活动依赖于许多符号学资源，本文特别研究了三种：谈话、手势和物质对象，考虑到互动中所有参与者的谈话和手势，以及互动者可用的物质环境。这一观点提出了两种思考想象力的新方法。首先，想象不是纯粹的个人行为，也是群体互动的产物和资源；第二，想象思维的对象不一定是心理图像，而是可能在物质世界中用真实的物质成分构建出来的。
Abstract This article examines the use of imagination as a communicative resource in interaction. Using actual examples of imagination in action collected during anthropological fieldwork at an architecture firm in California, I develop the concept of ‘collaborative imagining’ as a social, jointly-produced activity in which the objects of thought are created and manipulated in the shared space of face-to-face interaction. Such an activity relies upon a number of semiotic resources, and the paper examines three in particular: talk, gestures, and material objects, taking into consideration the talk and gestures of all participants in an interaction as well as the material surround available to the interactants. This view suggests two new ways to think about imagination. First, imagining is not a purely individual act but is also a product of and resource for group interaction; second, the objects of imaginative thought are not necessarily mental images, but can potentially be constructed in the material world with real, material components.
