Abstract: This thesis seeks to understand the process of communication of north-American culture"s features from the reading and interpretation of filmic media texts of different periods.The theoretical support starts from the notion of "textual memory" and "code-text" according to studies of Iuri Lotman, a researcher of Culture Semiotics.From this perspective, the productions of cinema are considered as a system of signs inserted in corresponding semiosphere.The description of the system of north-American culture is made by identification of its founding myths of Judeo-Christian, Latin, and Egyptian origin.The myths are studied as linker elements of culture texts considered relevant to this research, since the "Discovery" (16th century) until the period of American independence (18th century).Once described the system of American culture, through the textual memory, it proceeds to read two film texts in which there are settings of these mythological elements.The thesis proves his goal to showing how the "new order" myth reflects in texts of north-American cinema of the late twentieth century, and how this myth is repeated in the present strengthening the role of America as a nation renewing of world.
