Abstract

In this article we seek to know the Imaginary a group of grandparents the over 60 years old. The research had a qualitative nature and was developed with a group of six grandparents responsible for grandchildren in condition of vulnerability. The mythical data was obtained by means of the Archetype Nine Elements Test, the AT 9 of Yves Durand and by the voice of the grandparents in narrative. The analysis was supported by the Anthropological Theory of the Imaginary of Gilbert Durand and revealed the predominance of the Imaginary where the pseudo-destructure and destructure were seen.
