Daily occurrences enable the attentive sociologist to detect the returning upheavals and effervescences. The methodology based on Gilbert Durand’s Structures anthropologiques de l’imaginaire allows us to highlight a trivial symbol—hair. This symbol allows us to go back all the way to the archetypal figure, that of the romantic. It would seem that there is a cyclical return to romanticism in the current society, and especially in the postmodern man.
