In family composition, the role of the father was one of the most has been transformed over the past few years. In this dissertation, we propose an investigation into the changes that have gone and still go men and fathers in postmodernity. In order to do this, we took the theoretical framework of the Analytical Psychology of C.G. Jung. Within this theoretical line, we include mainly masculine archetypes and archetype of the father, which often overlap, as well as their different manifestations today. Similarly, we ponder the statutes of the persona and the shadow of his father and the father of modernity today. The idea of father has existed before unconsciously understanding of physical paternity. Fatherhood, understood as a social invention is a specific allocation of man, while maternity is specific of the woman. It was necessary to make the contrast between masculine and feminine, between patriarchy and matriarchy, between fatherhood and motherhood, because such issues are deeply intertwined show. Furthermore, we resort to the mythology and rituals described by the anthropological studies to facilitate the understanding of ancient studies of these issues. Given the occurrence of a relativization of masculine archetypes in the current culture, we propose to discuss the concept of new father and whether this could be considered as a new symbol of the masculine in the field of fatherhood.
