We are now surrounded by the ‘Civilization of the Image’. But, despite the omnipresence of images and their immense influences, our understanding and diagnostic in this regard seem to be insufficient. This article attempts to examine the implications of the problematics of the image, the imagination, and the imaginary, based on the work of Gilbert Durand.
The works of Durand nicely show a kind of ‘subversion of perspective’ that situates imagination right in the centre of our cognitive and behavioral activities, instead of limiting it to the passive and secondary activity of the spirit.
He departed from the establishment of the “Anthropological Structures of the Imaginary” which clarifies the existence of the ‘minimal consensus’ in homo sapiens, in order to resist to the all kinds of reductionism. It shows very well the position of Durand that searches the ‘liaison’, the ‘tertium datur’ between the opposites, interpreting, at the same time, all the reductionism as a ‘lack of mediation’. First, Durand shows, by the concept of the ‘anthropological trajectory’, that, in order for a system of symbol to appear, there must collaborate all the constitutive strata of the subject ― from the biological to the cultural. Second, by his idea of the three ‘figurative structures’, i.e., ‘schizomorphic’, ‘mystique’, and ‘synthetic’, Durand wants to ‘synthesize’ the ‘logico ― formal procedure’ and the ‘sense’. From this, Durnad passes the ‘mythocriticism’ on an author and his texts, and makes the ‘mythanalysis’ on the dominant ‘myths’ of an epoch. The ‘mythanalysis’ is divided into two models, i.e., the ‘topique’ as a synchronic model, and the ‘semantic basin’ as a diachronic one. He thus opens the way to the ‘Sociology of the Profound’.
From an epistemological point of view, it will be shown in this article that the problematics of the image and the imagination demands us to shift our perspective from ‘logo-centrism’ to ‘imago-centrism’.
