Imagined Community is a theoretical concept coined by Benedict Anderson to refer to the existence of a sense of community among members of a group who may not actually exist as a community through day to day interactions, but identify as a group through social construction. Anderson understood the concept of “nation” to be an Imagined Community in the sense that members of a nation feel themselves to be a part of a national community through a shared identification with the nation as a social construction.
