Studying poetry, especially its major themes, means, from another point of view, interpreting the dreams of the poets who wrote it with all their imaginary powers. For we often dream before we contemplate, as Gaston Bachelard famously put it, and we suffer through dreams and heal through dreams too. Of course, dreams give us the ability to create images, not simply to see them, but to interpret them afterwards.Every image seen in a dream brings to mind another image experienced in real life.And since most dreams, according to Erich Fromm, have a common character, they don't obey the laws of logic that govern waking thought, so they become a kind of poetic images. And this leads us to study them in depth, with an academic vision and a methodological approach.

Before talking about the usefulness of art in general and its influence on all areas of modern society, we must first define the meaning of art itself. Art can be seen as a human activity based on the power of the creative imagination and the construction of things from words, or the construction of words from things. But with a vision that goes beyond the ordinary to the extraordinary. From this cultural point of view on the meaning of art, we can see that this activity can be found in all areas of modern society, since it's impossible not to find it. Because human beings depend on it to exist and live in one way or another.

This book is in two main parts. The first deals with a great French intellectual, the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, who is considered one of the most important sociologists in the field of modern sociology. The second part deals with the usefulness of art in modern society, through the genius of the image and its influence on people, and the cultural function of television. Hence, both parts of this book deal with the role of the intellectual and the symbolic influence of his ideas on the course of society and its development. And since, in the words of Edgar Morin, the intellectual "is one who works on ideas, and particularly on ideas of human, social and moral importance", we can say that the role of the intellectual is very important in modern society.

To speak of a sociology of the spectacle, as Richard Demarcy puts it, "is first and foremost to specify the various poles of research: according to a traditional computer schema, we must distinguish, at the very least, the sender pole and the receiver pole. It is generally the latter that the sociology of culture (...) has focused on", which has led us, based on the work of Pierre Bourdieu and Edgar Morin, and other sociologists, to study these two poles at the same time, that of receiver and that of sender. In other words, people who watch movies and people who like to watch movies.And since we've been working on the theme of women's representation in Moroccan cinema, as a social fact, to use Émile Durkheim's expression, we've chosen, as a means of research, to conduct interviews with cinema people first, before analyzing a few Moroccan films that have tackled this very theme.

Art can only be "a social act that removes the barriers between people, re-establishing the current of brotherhood between consciences". And for this social act to be seen by the majority of people in society, for it to attract and influence them, it is obliged to pass through very powerful media tools, which in this case are only television and cinema, and from this comes their very important role and their very remarkable influence in the unfolding of modern society.To illustrate this, we have chosen to study the usefulness of art in modern society through these two media tools themselves.So we've tried to focus on the importance of cultural programs on television, on the one hand, and the indispensable role of film festivals, on the other.

If traditional pedagogy is mainly focused on the contents to be communicated to the learners, we can see that the new pedagogy is mainly interested in the fact that these learners can acquire skills and know how to use and develop them. This is why this pedagogy uses methods that take into consideration the interest of the learners. Thus, it leaves them a large margin of freedom and respects their personalities by pushing them towards personal creativity. This requires a different pedagogical style which is only teamwork and understanding of the personality of each learner. In addition, the new pedagogy opens its doors to the mastery and use of technology by putting it at the service of teaching. We see in particular here the interest of the film and the song in such a pedagogy. These two media can help learners to better understand the lessons, and to grasp their deep meaning.
