Spanish term or phrase: imaginario

"La deriva del patrimonio etnológico: un traje femenino en Ansó.
Las trayectorias seguidas por los objetos en los procesos de activación patrimonial son auténticas fuentes documentales para acceder al mejor conocimiento de la construcción histórica de comunidades, pueblos y naciones.
En el caso del patrimonio etnológico, incorporado más tardíamente al repertorio museológico y proveniente de la vida cotidiana de la gente común podemos todavía ir algo más allá, llegar a otro tipo de escenarios y al modo de puertas mágicas atravesar los densos muros de la institución museológica para vislumbrar imaginarios colectivos e individuales.
Palabras clave: activación patrimonial, musealización etnológica, IMAGINARIO individual y colectivo"

Me sugieren "imagery", ¿qué os parece?

mental set

Explanation:
This does the job well, I think, and avoids all the problems involved with "image", "imagination", and "imaginary" (especially the latter, which for nearly all English speakers is an adjective and not a noun).
