Abstract

This text aims to present an anthropological interpretation of the imaginary of cinema, specifically in films mostly produced in Hollywood. To this end, we will apply a mythological hermeneutics developed by the anthropologist Gilbert Durand, which configures three archetypal imaginary structures that serve as a kind of guide. The itinerary must follow the imaginary regimes thought by Durand, which are the diurnal regime of heroic structure, the nocturnal regime of mystical structure and the nocturnal regime of synthetic or dramatic structure.
