public fancy, mediator, book presentation
Explanation:
1.Este conceito já pertence ao imaginário social ...

PUBLIC FANCY (This notion is one of PUBLIC FANCY...)

***I chose this as a best alternative, given the limited context (what concept? - I need to know, so I can establish it as \'real\' or \'fanciful\'; also translation may vary depending on an entire sentence)


2. Ao estabelecer o diálogo, a figura do interlocutor, torna-se muito importante ......
MEDIATOR (In setting up/initiating/etc a dialogue, the MEDIATOR becomes..)

***mediator is a good neutral term, in terms of social dialogue, although other possibilities could include \'arbitrator\' which is more specific in meaning.


3. Pedimos que passem ao saguão onde teremos o lançamento do livro do prof.

May we ask you to step out to the patio/foyer/etc WHERE THE (teacher\'S / professor\'s?) BOOK IS TO BE LAUNCHED/PRESENTED

*** a book is LAUNCHED on the market, but when it\'s a question of introducing it (for the first time) to a small group of people, it would be more appropriate to say PRESENTED
