Timeline
Gilbert Durand (1 May 1921 – 7 December 2012) was a French academic known for his work on the imaginary, symbolic anthropology and mythology.
According to Durand, Imagination and Reason can be complementary.
He defended the status of the image, traditionally devalued in Western thought, particularly in French philosophy.
He advocated a multidisciplinary approach.
He distinguished between two regimes: the diurnal and the nocturnal, to classify symbols and archetypes.
During World War Two he joined the French Resistance in the Vercors.
He began his career by teaching philosophy in the secondary school system from 1947 to 1956 (philosophy is taught in France at high school level), and then became a university professor of Sociology and Anthropology at the Grenoble II.
In his most famous work, Les Structures anthropologiques de l'imaginaire (1960), he formulated the influential concept of the anthropological trajectory (sometimes translated anthropological dialectic or anthropological course), according to which there is a bijective influence between physiology and society.
Gilbert Durand was the co-founder — with Léon Cellier and Paul Deschamps in 1966, — and the director, of the Centre de recherche sur l'imaginaire and a member of Eranos.
In 1984, Gilbert Durand supervised the thesis by Michel Gaucher on L'Intuition astrologique dans l'imaginaire (Université Grenoble II).
In 1988 he founded the humanities and social sciences review Les Cahiers de L'imaginaire.
Gilbert Durand gained a worldwide notoriety and his Center is currently the small group of an international network of over sixty laboratories.
In 1991 a special colloquium organized by Michel Maffesoli was held in his honour at the prestigious Centre culturel international de Cerisy-la-Salle.
On 14 March 2007, in Chambéry, Durand was raised to the title of Commander of the Légion d'honneur, which was bestowed on him by a personality of his choice, in this case Raymond Aubrac on behalf of the President (as is customary).
Durand died on 7 December 2012.
