Depuis 1976 le concours de beauté « Miss Brésil Gay » a lieu chaque année à Juiz de Fora (Brésil) et ses 36 éditions ont attiré régulièrement des milliers de touristes. La compétition se déroule entre les 27 États brésiliens représentés par des concurrentes qui ne sont pas des travestis, mais des garçons qui s’habillent en femme. Tenu comme l’un des premiers de ce genre au Brésil, il est devenu l’une des manifestations culturelles les plus représentatives de la ville et l’un des événements gays les plus connus du pays. Cette thèse discutera de l’homosexualité et des « tribus gays » pour valider l’hypothèse que le concours se rapproche d’une « effervescence postmoderne ». La première partie est basée sur la sociologie classique, la sociologie compréhensive, l’imaginaire et la sociologie du quotidien. Il y a ensuite une révision théorique des points les plus pertinents de l’ouvrage de Michel Maffesoli en relation à ce travail : tribalisme, identités, altérité, effervescences et Dionysos. Les rites et rituels de passage reçoivent une attention spéciale, en fonction de leur importance dans cette étude. La deuxième partie est une approche transdisciplinaire sur l’homosexualité à travers la reconstruction sociohistorique, les identités, les effervescences touristiques, les utilisations du corps et l’homophobie. La troisième partie est consacrée au travail sur le terrain, composé par les « histoires de vie » de cinq misses gays brésiliennes. Il s’agit d’une recherche qualitative qui utilise les méthodes de l’Observation Participante et de la Participation Observante pour arriver aux analyses de données, à la validation des hypothèses et à la vérification des résultats, répertoriées dans la cinquième partie. À travers le microcosme du Miss Brésil Gay, l’objectif est de contribuer à l’élaboration de nouvelles catégories de la pensée sociologique sur l’homosexualité et sur les fêtes « tribales », à partir d’un regard postmoderne. / Since 1976 the beauty pageant contest Miss Gay Brazil is held annually in Juiz de Fora (Brazil) and its 36 editions regularly attract thousands of tourists. The competition takes place between the 27 Brazilian states represented by competitors who are not transvestites, but men who dress as women. Held as one of the first of its kind in Brazil, it has become one of the most representative cultural events in the city and one of the country’s best known gay events. This thesis will discuss homosexuality and « gay tribes » to validate the hypothesis that the contest is approaching a « postmodern effervescence ». The first part is based on traditional sociology, « comprehensive sociology », the imaginary and « everyday life sociology ». There is also a theoretical review of the most relevant points of works by Michel Maffesoli in relation to this study: tribalism, identity, alterity, effervescence and Dionysus. The rituals and rites of passage are given special attention, according to their importance in this research. The second part is a transdisciplinary approach to homosexuality, through a socio-historical reconstruction, identities, « gay tourism », utilisations of the body and homophobia. The third part is devoted to the « field », composed by the « life stories method » of five Brazilian Gay Misses. This is a qualitative research that uses « observing participation » and « participating observation » to arrive at data analysis, validation and verification of results, exposed in the fifth part. Through the microcosm of Miss Gay Brazil, the aim is to contribute to the development of new categories of sociological thought on homosexuality and fêtes « tribales » from a postmodern point of view.

Au cours des dernières décennies, l'utilisation généralisée des technologies numériques de communication dans la vie quotidienne a donné lieu à une nouvelle relation entre l'individu et le territoire. Cette relation, dans laquelle les différents acteurs sont de plus en plus intégrés, surpasse l'ancien paradigme dichotomique caractérisé par la relation l'homme versus la nature. De cette façon, une nouvelle notion d'environnement, interactif et intégrant de l'espace social surgit, résultat de la représentation technologique de la nature et du dialogue favorisé par les réseaux numériques avec le territoire. L'objectif général de cette recherche est d'étudier le phénomène imaginaire écologique contemporain à partir de la perspective de la contribution de nouvelles technologies de communication numérique aux formes de représentation de la nature et de l'interaction avec le territoire. À cette fin, les voies et moyens d'interaction entre les individus, les technologies de communication numérique et le territoire seront étudiés, compte tenu des exemples de l'utilisation pratique des technologies numériques déjà consolidés. D'après une étude participative sur les réseaux numériques, ainsi que des études de cas, nous avons l'intention d'approfondir l'étude sur la contribution des réseaux numériques comme un territoire informatif ouvert pour les changements par rapport à la sociabilité contemporaine et l'imaginaire écologique contemporain. / In recent decades, the widespread use of digital communication technologies in daily life gave rise to a new relationship between individual and territory. This relationship, in which different actors are increasingly integrated, surpasses the old dichotomous paradigm characterized by the man versus nature's relationship. Therefore, a new notion of environment, interactive and member of the social space is born as a result of technological representation of nature and the dialogue fostered by digital networks with the territory. The overall objective of this research is to investigate the contemporary ecological imaginary phenomenon from the perspective of the contribution of new digital communication technologies to the forms of representation of nature and interaction with the territory. To this end, the ways and means of interaction between individuals, digital communication technologies and territory will be studied, considering examples of practical use of digital technologies already consolidated. From a participatory study on digital networks, as well as case studies, we intend to further study on the contribution of digital networks as an open informative territory to changes in relation to contemporary sociability and contemporary ecological imaginary.

This research report presents a pilot study exploring the possibility of applying a Lacanian clinical methodology for analyzing unconscious dynamics in extra-analytic material. This research initially investigates the legitimacy and utility of this endeavour, followed by immersion in Lacanian thinking and the subsequent selection of potentially relevant data sets; samples of extra-analytic textual material. As this stage a recursive interaction between reading Lacanian theory and reflecting on the text is enacted. Five Lacanian concepts are identified (mirror phase, the three orders of the imaginary, the symbolic and the real, as well as the paternal agency). Although these concepts are, in process inextricable from another, they are presented as though discrete entities given that this allows for the foregrounding of different aspects in the process. The interaction between these concepts is considered with respect to Lacan‟s requirement in clinical practice of a tentative preliminary diagnosis of the patient into one of three diagnostic categories; perversion, neurosis and psychosis. Consequently, in a step that mirrors the clinical process, the textual subject of the data sets is tentatively classified as a (Lacanian) psychotic whose characteristic psychic structure is constituted out of foreclosure. Ways of discerning this structure in textual matter outside of the analytic setting are then considered. Four ways are proposed here. These are the unified or unbounded use of personal pronouns; evidence of thinking towards resolution or disintegration; denial or tolerance of difference and fourthly, the manifestation of regressive or libidinal speech actions. These four provide the basis for approaching the analysis of the selected data sets, which consist of carefully selected instances of Jacob Zuma‟s ostensibly unscripted public utterances. It is proposed that the four ways identified can be used in the analysis of other extra-analytic material.

L’objectif de cette thèse est l'analyse de scènes de bal dans des textes narratifs du XIXe siècle produits dans trois pays : France, Portugal et Brésil. Nous soulignons premièrement la présence et l'imaginaire construits autour de cette pratique sociale ; ensuite, à partir d'onze scènes littéraires de bal, nous analysons et discutons la diversité de représentations auxquelles cet événement a donné lieu. En considérant la scène de bal un endroit privilégié pour le développement de rencontres, drames et promotions, on observe comment chaque texte travaille le phénomène du bal, en établissant, pour cela, un constant mouvement dialectique entre l’imaginaire social et le littéraire. Dans la dernière partie du travail, les résultats obtenus sont placés à la lumière des études sur les régimes de l'imaginaire. Cette analyse nous permet de vérifier la présence du régime nocturne comme trace commune, bien que, à l'intérieur de cet univers, les personnages présentent des éléments contradictoires et innovateurs. Au long du travail, nous observons la position occupée par l’individu dans le bal et sa relation avec la société moderne, en analysant, en même temps, de quelle manière les scènes contribuent à renforcer ou à réfuter des conceptions littéraires et artistiques de l’époque. Nous visons à démontrer que ce topos, fréquent dans les productions du XIXe siècle, constitue un élément remarquable pour la compréhension de l'imaginaire historique, social et littéraire de la période. Il s'agit d'une recherche de caractère pluridisciplinaire qui se fonde sur des textes de critique littéraire, d’histoire, de sociologie, d’anthropologie, en complément à la lecture des textes littéraires. La mise en perspective comparatiste se révèle stimulante pour comprendre les particularités et la complexité de ces scènes, ainsi que les éléments de l'imaginaire qui les composent. / This thesis aims at analyzing ball scenes in narrative texts produced in three countries in the nineteenth century: the countries are France, Portugal, and Brazil. First, we emphasize the presence and the imaginary built around this social practice; after that, altogether with the eleven ball literary scenes, we analyze and discuss the diversity of representations to which this event has given place. Considering the ball scene as a privileged situation to the development of meetings, dramas, and promotions, we observe in what way each text works with the ball phenomenon, settling for this, a constant dialectical movement between the social and literary imaginary. In the last part of this paper, the results are placed to the light of studies on the imaginary schemes; such an analysis that allows us to verify the presence of the night scheme as a common thread, though, within this universe, the characters exhibit contradictory and innovative elements. Throughout this study, we have highlighted the position occupied by the individual at the ball and his or her relationship with modern society, analyzing at the same time, how the scenes contribute to strengthen or refute literary and artistic conceptions at the time. Our aim is to demonstrate that this topos, often present in the nineteenth century literary pieces, is a significant element in understanding the historical, social and literary imaginary of those times, social and literary period. Our research has a multi-disciplinary nature supported by literary criticism, history, sociology, anthropology, in addition to the reading of literary texts. The comparative perspective proves to be stimulating when it comes to understanding the characteristics and complexity of these scenes as well as imaginary elements that compose them.

Dans cette recherche, je me propose d'interroger la méthode Photolangage©, dispositif à médiation thérapeutique, comme outil pour favoriser les processus de lien et de symbolisation dans la situation groupale. L'idée est d'observer à l'œuvre de manière profitable ses fonctions de contenance et transformation de la réalité psychique et, en particulier, la possibilité de double contenance - de la part du groupe et de l'objet médiateur - de mouvements pulsionnels intenses et à leur transformation à travers ce type de dispositif. L'objet de la recherche traite donc des potentialités d'une telle technique thérapeutique et de comment, ce type de dispositif peut contenir et transformer - et éventuellement prévenir - les manifestations agressives, voire violentes, des sujets qui prennent part à l'expérience. Pour ce faire, j’ai participé à la mise en place et la co-animation d’un groupe d'adolescents engagés dans des agirs sexuels violents. Je présenterai ainsi le cas d'un dispositif expérimental et original d'un petit groupe avec des mineurs auteurs de violence sexuelle dont le cadre prévoyait l'alternance de séances de groupe de parole et de séances à médiation Photolangage©. L'observation et l'analyse d'un tel dispositif et d'une telle clinique permettent de mettre en évidence les processus en jeu dans ce cadre singulier et de mettre l'accent sur l'apport de la médiation par la photographie au sein d'une telle prise en charge. Le Photolangage© sera présenté dans sa double fonction de dispositif de soin et de recherche. Le rapport entre image et imaginaire et entre image et affect sera le noyau à partir duquel j'aborderai la question de la transformation de ces mêmes affects et de la violence. Il s'agit alors d'apporter la preuve de la pertinence et de l'efficacité de ces groupes spécifiques et de leur capacité à mieux contenir la violence que les dispositifs individuels, comment de mieux gérer et transformer, en vue d'une meilleure intégration sociale des sujets. / This research explores the use of Photolangage© as a therapeutic tool for promoting relational processes and the development of symbolisation in group settings. Its capacity to hold and transform psychic reality is examined, particularly the possibility of dual holding of intense drives - by the group and by the mediating object – and of their transformation through the use of this kind of therapeutic method. The potential of such a therapeutic technique is explored, how it can contain, transform and perhaps even predict aggressive or violent behaviours in participants of the group. To this end, I took part in setting up and co-leading a therapy group for adolescents who engage in violent sexual acts. The case study presents an experimental and innovative small group therapy structure, with sexually aggressive minors, which was organised so that verbal sessions alternated with Photolangage© sessions. Observation and analysis of this method and this clinical practise bring to light the processes at work within this unusual framework, and highlight the role that mediation via photography can play at the heart of therapeutic support groups.This research presents the dual functions of Photolangage© as therapeutic and research methodology. The relationship between image and imagination, and between image and emotion, form the core from which questions about transformation of emotions and violence are broached. The relevance and efficiency of these specific groups and their capacity to contain and hold violence better than individual therapy structures is explored; how to better manage and transform, for improved social integration of our patients.

Considerando a importância dos rituais no processo de reconhecimento social mútuo entre os seres humanos e, consequentemente, no desenvolvimento dos adolescentes, este trabalho tem por objetivos: identificar, numa comunidade estudantil de uma escola de educação profissional, os impactos causados no processo de formação dos jovens, pelo declínio dos ritos de passagem e identificar, no imaginário desse grupo de alunos, os universos míticos que o compõem. Para isso, parte-se do pressuposto de que os rituais, sejam eles sagrados ou profanos, expressam as regras e os valores que orientam o comportamento dos seres humanos em grupo e em sociedade e que o declínio dos ritos iniciáticos, sobretudo na adolescência, faz dos jovens suas principais vítimas. Os eixos teóricos organizadores foram a Teoria do Imaginário de Gilbert Durand e a Sócioantropologia do Cotidiano de Michel Maffesoli. Como metodologias foram utilizados: questionários para a identificação da situação socioeconômica e cultural do grupo, observação para a identificação de ritos e mitos no contexto escolar, entrevistas com alunos, professores, coordenadores e outros funcionários e o Teste Arquetípico de Nove Elementos AT-9, elaborado por Yves Durand, para identificar os universos míticos do grupo de alunos e como esses se relacionam com o mundo. / Considering the importance of rituals in the process of mutual social recognition between human beings and in consequence, the development of adolescents, this study aims to identify, in a student community of a school of professional education, the impacts on the formation process young people, caused of the decline of rites of passage and identify in the imaginarys group, mythical universes that compose it. For this, we start from the assumption that rituals, whether sacred or profane, express the rules and values that guide the behavior of human beings in groups and in society and the decline of initiation rites, especially in adolescence, making of the youths its mayor victims. The theoretical axes organizers were the Theory of Imaginary Gilbert Durand and Social Anthropology of Quotidian by Michel Maffesoli. The methodology we used questionnaires to identify the socioeconomic and cultural group, observation to identify rites and myths in the school context, interviews with students, teachers, coordinator and other employees and Archetypal Test Nine Elements - AT-9, produced by Yves Durand, to identify the mythical universes group of students and how these relate to the world.

Esta tese procura registrar uma história de vida articulada por imagens da literatura apropriadas pela subjetividade no sentido de uma educação do cultivo da alma. Para isso, lanço-me, a partir de alguns trajetos de leitura, a um percurso teórico-analítico de cunho antropoliterário, no qual o texto é compreendido como mito e incorporado à história de vida do leitor como mediador simbólico inter e intrasubjetivo, cuja abertura semântica deve-se justamente à presença da imagem arquetípica segundo noção de James Hillman (1995:10). Os potenciais pedagógicos da literatura são veiculados pelas imagens portadoras do arquétipo como \"janelas de aprendizagem\" (Paula Carvalho) que permitem que o leitor transite do texto à existência e de volta, num circuito que o auxilia a promover a equilibração de polaridades e a elaboração criativa da alteridade representada, em última instância, pelo inconsciente, no sentido da construção da identidade do ego e em direção à individuação. São eixos organizadores: (1) a Arquetipologia Geral no contexto da Teoria Geral do Imaginário, de Gilbert Durand; (2) a noção de imagem no contexto da Psicologia Arquetípica, segundo James Hillman e (3) a noção de Educação Fática em José Carlos de Paula Carvalho. A partir de uma perspectiva hermenêutica que procura a abertura do discursivo rumo ao existencial (Paula Carvalho, 1998:59), recolho imagens de três obras clássicas da literatura, lidas por mim aos treze anos de idade, e que me conduziram na direção da descoberta da imagem essencial - a da educadora -, processo no qual enxergo a finalidade última da educação. As referidas obras lidas à margem da escola tornaram-se especialmente significativas devido à dinâmica proposta pela dimensão escolar oficial, também ela imprescindível para que a experiência com o significado se construísse. Retorno assim a Madame Bovary, de Gustave Flaubert, como exemplo de uma literatura para a formação da sensibilidade heróica; ao Decamerão, de Giovanni Boccaccio, como exemplo de uma literatura para a formação da sensibilidade mística e a O morro dos ventos uivantes, de Emily Brontë, como exemplo de uma literatura para a formação da sensibilidade dramática. / This present study tries to register images of a life history articulated by images of the literature - these latter ones appropriated by the subjectivity towards an education of the soul. Being so, I launch myself, starting from my experiences as a reader, into a theoretical-analytical path based on an anthropo-literary view in which literature is understood as myth and life history, i.e., as inter and intra-subjective symbolic mediator whose semantic openness is due mostly to the presence of the archetypal image - according to James Hillman\'s denomination ( 1995, 10). The pedagogical potentials of the literature are, in this way, transmitted by the images bearing an archetypal meaning that circulates from the text towards the life of the reader, to promote the equilibrium of the polarities, through the creative elaboration of alterity represented by the unconscious, in the construction of the ego´s identity. The thematic axe\'s that organize this study are: 1) The General Archetypology, of Gilbert Durand (1997); 2) the notion of image according to the Archetypal Psychology, of James Hillman (1997b). From an hermeneutic perspective, which looks for an openness that goes from the discourse towards the existential (Paula Carvalho, 1998, 59), I get images from three classical novels, in order to understand themselves in the convergence of life with reading, even guiding me to the direction of the discovery of my own essential image or daimon - in which I recognize the objective of education. The mentioned novels were read apart from school. Nevertheless, they became specially significant in my educational process due to the dynamism proposed by the official schooling dimension - also completely necessary so that this experience with meaning could be built. So, I come back to Madame Bovary, by Gustave Flaubert, as an example of a literature that forms the heroic sensibility; to Decameron, by Giovanni Bocaccio, as an example of a literature that forms the mystic sensibility; to O morro dos ventos uivantes, by Emily Brontë, as an example of a literature that forms the dramatic sensibility.

Esta pesquisa buscou desenvolver, por meio de uma base teórica, a leitura de imagens e narrativas de livros ilustrados destinados à infância. A pesquisa, de ordem qualitativa e exploratória, utilizouse da hermenêutica simbólica para trazer à tona o universo do símbolo, como compreendido pelas teorias de Gilbert Durand, Joseph Campbell e Ernst Cassirer, com o intuito de resgatar o imaginário e o poder do símbolo que está por trás da criação da imagem. Também foram utilizadas a fenomenologia de Maurice Merleau-Ponty e o conceito de descrição densa de Gaston Bachelard para empreender a proposta de leitura dos livros selecionados. Assume-se, portanto, neste trabalho, a perspectiva da jornada interpretativa, desenvolvida por Marcos Ferreira-Santos, que propõe a leitura das imagens/ imagens-narrativa/ ilustrações, como leitura simbólica capaz de ir além do aspecto racional e objetivo, criando vias de acesso para a compreensão e assimilação da obra. Para tanto, foram estabelecidas relações simbólicas entre as imagens, as narrativas e os temas das três obras selecionadas, sob a perspectiva trágica de Rogério de Almeida, isto é, por conterem temas normalmente evitados na comunicação com a criança, e que, por isso, apresentam certa resistência a serem trabalhados no âmbito educacional. Procurou-se, a partir disso, pensar sobre possíveis leituras e novas dimensões que possam contribuir com as práticas educacionais, bem como sobre os itinerários autoformativos na educação. / This paper aimed to develop, through a theoretical basis, a reading of images and narratives in illustrated books for childhood. The research, qualitative and exploratory, seeks the use of symbolic hermeneutics to bring to the light the universe of the symbol of Gilbert Durand, Joseph Campbell and Ernst Cassirer, with the intention of rescuing the power of the symbol that is behind the creation of the image. it is based on Maurice Merleu-Pontys phenomenology and on Gaston Bachelards concept of dense description for the readings. it assumes a perspective on the interpretive journey, developed by Professor Marcos Ferreira-Santos, who proposes the reading of the images / narrative / illustrations, starting from the thought that a symbolic reading can go beyond the rational and objective aspect, being able to create access routes for the understanding and assimilation of the piece of work. To do so, we will try to establish symbolic relations between images, narratives and themes, under the tragic perspective of Rogério de Almeida, that is, reading the pieces of works selected by the human thematic, which is, topics normally avoided in communication with children, and therefore, presenting some resistance to be worked in the educational environment. From this, it will attempt to contemplate possible readings and new dimensions to contribute to educational practices, as well as on their formative paths.

A jornada do herói é uma trajetória autoformativa presente em narrativas ancestrais que, ultrapassando barreiras espaços-temporais, ainda ecoam nas produções contemporâneas, sem perder suas potencialidades simbólicas. Seguindo pelas trilhas do Imaginário Simbólico, acompanharemos protagonistas das obras em quadrinhos É um pássaro, de Steven T. Seagle e Teddy Kristiansen, Daytripper, de Gabriel Bá e Fábio Moon, e Habibi, de Craig Thompson, que trilham seus caminhos através do labiríntico processo de conhecimento do mundo e de si. Partindo dos caminhos metodológicos da Mitopoética e da mitologia comparada, seguiremos em busca dos fios que compõem o tornar-se quem se é, em uma investigação poética que mescla itinerários autoformativos ficcionais presentes nas Histórias em Quadrinhos, destacando a valorização da experiência, o papel das narrativas na constituição de si e as tessituras com a Pedagogia da Escolha, bem como as relações entre a composição artística dos quadrinhos, sua relação com a jornada heroica e os processos educativos. / \"The hero\'s jornney is a sellf-formative path present in ancestral narratives which, going beyond space-time barriers, still echo in contemporary productions without losing its symbolic potential. Following the paths of the structure of imaginary Symbol, we\'ll keep up the protagonists of the comics It\'s a bird, from Steven T. Seagle and Teddy Kristiansen, Daytripper, created by Gabriel Bá e Fábio Moon, e Habibi, from Craig Thompson, who tread their way through the labyrinthine of world knowledge process and of itself. From the methodological ways of mythopoetic and comparative mythology, we will searching for the threads that indicates \"how one becomes what one is\", in a poetic investigation that merges processes of self-formatives itineraries in comic books, highlighting the value of the experience, the role of narrative in the constitution itself and the tessitura with the Pedagogy of choice , as well as relations between the artistic composition of the comic, the relationship with the heroic journey and educational processes.

As teorias sobre a identidade, muito mais que se enveredarem por um enredo de métodos que, através do tempo, negam-se para se renovarem; tornam-se uma teia, mandala de observações, critérios e percepções diversos em si mesmos e entre o objeto em questão, num constructo fugidio, todavia, extremamente fascinante para o pesquisador, que se sente um eterno buscador da identidade do Homem, buscador de si mesmo. O objetivo deste trabalho é estabelecer uma discussão sobre as formas pelas quais esse caminho de identidades pode ser contemplado, relacionando-o com os migrantes e como eles se utilizam das suas experiências para recriarem seus sentidos no mundo e, consequentemente, suas identidades. Para tanto, partindo de EDGAR MORIN e sua concepção da razão complexa, faz-se um entrelaçamento entre alguns campos do saber: um enfoque sociocultural (CASTELLS, BAUMAN e HALL), a antropologia do imaginário e o trajeto antropológico (BACHELARD, DURAND e MAFFESOLI). Nesse entrelaçamento, articulamos conceitos de estereotipia, arquetipia, alteridade e alienação, vinculando-os à globalização, à modernidade tardia, à pedagogia da escolha e ao amor fati (NIETZCHE). Os sujeitos participantes do processo são migrantes, que, a partir de várias formas comunicativas vinculadas às suas histórias de vida (RUBIO), compõem, cada qual, sua identidade. O que se observou, nestes relatos, foram grandes possibilidades de encontros epistemológicos entre antropologia do imaginário e as teorias sociológicas, como se as pontes entre os conhecimentos, ao surgirem, trouxessem caminhos novos à nossa compreensão sobre identidades: coletiva, individual, social ou imaginária. Além disso, nota-se também a migração como ponte e descoberta de percepções sobre o moto-contínuo identitário por que passa a modernidade tardia no que se refere ao mosaico de culturas iluminado pela globalização, entendida tanto como causa quanto como consequência desses fenômenos sociais: o migrante/andarilho e suas histórias de vida ilustram e contemplam verdades e repertórios importantíssimos para uma realização existencial do homem diante da modernidade tardia. / The theories about identity, much more than tread on a place of methods that, throught the times, refuse to be renewed, become a web, observant mandalas, criteria and perceptions varied themselves and between the object in question, in an fleeting construct, however, extremely fascinating for researcher, who is an eternal seeker of the human identity and seeker from itself. The objective of this work is to establish a discussion about the ways in which this identities path can be contemplated, relating it to the migrants and to how they use their experiences to recreate their direction in the world and, consequently, their identities. Therefore, departing from EDGAR MORIN and his conception of complex reason, an interlacing among some fields of knowledge was made: a focus on culture and society (CASTELLS, BAUMAN and HALL), as well imaginary anthropology and anthropological path (BACHELARD, DURAND and MAFFESOLI). In this interlacing, we articulated stereotyped concepts, arquetipia, otherness and alienation, linking them to globalization, the late modernity, the pedagogy of choice and love fati (NIETZCHE). The subjects participants of process are migrants that, departing from various communicative forms linked to them life stories (RUBIO), make up, each one their identity. In these stories, great possibilities of epistemological meetings were observed, such between anthropology of the imaginary and sociological theories, as if the bridges between knowledge, by arising, bringed news paths for our understanding about identities: collective, individual, social or imaginary. In addition, migration is noted as bridge and discovery perceptions about identity, path on which late modernity spends itself, referring to the cultures mosaic illuminated for globalization, understood both as cause and consequence of those social phenomena: the migrant / wanderer and his life stories illustrate and contemplate truths and repertoires very important to an human existential accomplishment face of late modernity.
