Abstract
the article seeks to analyze the imagery that makes up a very successful television series: TV's "Lost." With the categories of sociology, trying to interpret the phenomenon of Lost as a process of re-sacralization of society, as opposed to the process of secularization typical of the twentieth century. By this point of view, Lost is the perfect transposition of the fears and anxieties of the post-September 11, 2001: a society that is afraid of the other and takes refuge in ancestral rituals and beliefs to escape the lack of sense of the terrorist act .
