%X This article develops two figures of the social imagination: the stereotype and the emblem. To start with we explore the notion of social imagination, principally from Emile Durkheim, Gaston Bachelard and Maurine Godelier. Secondly, the article deepens the two notions of stereotypes and emblems supported by the works of the historian Bronislaw Baczko and the anthropologist Michael HerzfeldĄŻs. Throughout the paper, the theoretical aims are illustrated with reference to coal-mining memory and heritage in the north of France.
