The present paper from the meeting of concepts and definitions about the image, to discern entitled by Joly (1996, p.9), “culture of images.” Such images that “propose illusory worlds and perceptible” that make us go without leaving your seat. Imaginings, representations that are different for each and abstractions are realized in different ways. Between abstraction and implementation examples are ideas that, often, are in a tenuous border between the two concepts. But the abstraction becomes concrete, the concrete is sometimes “melts into air.” Finally, the article deals with images of the organization that metaphor plays a role in knowledge creation. The image and metaphor are seen as learning tools or as instrumental parts of the process of seeking knowledge.
