English term or phrase: acknowledge the Hollywood mythology
It seems that for the generation of Wiseman, Leacock, Pincus and so on, Hollywood did not exist at all. Not even in the radical forms that Kenneth Anger **used to acknowledge the Hollywood mythology** in which American filmmaking was bathed.

-> je suis en panne de tournure de phrase... "acknowledge" me pose un sérieux problème ici!! (y a-t-il une expression en français, autre que "accréditer la mythologie" ou "donner du crédit"? je pense que c'est le sens, mais je ne suis pas convaincue).

Merci again!

disagree  Daryo: to acknowledge a myth is not the same as maintaining a myth alive - actively contributing to a myth

  -> Agreed, however I don't think "acknowledge" is meant literally here, but it's rather that he portrays it in his own way.

used to acknowledge the hollywood mythology
considérait la mythologie hollywoodienne


Explanation:
traduction spécifique dans ce contexte
Anger à écrit un bouquin 'Hollywood Babylon" qui met à mal la mythologie Hollywoodienne.
L'article dit que pour la génération des Wiseman,XXX, Hollywood n'a même pas existé. Il n'a pas existé même de la manière dont Anger la considérait, la voyait (négativement)...
Il faut prendre "acknowledge" dans le sens de "faire attention à"
like in he didn't acknowledge me... A mon avis

to acknowledge the hollywood mythology
reconnaître l'existence de la mythologie hollywoodienne


Explanation:
t seems that for the generation of Wiseman, Leacock, Pincus and so on, Hollywood did not exist at all. Not even in the radical forms that Kenneth Anger used to acknowledge the Hollywood mythology in which American filmmaking was bathed.

.... Hollywood n'existait pas du tout. Même pas sous les formes radicales dont se servait Kenneth Anger pour reconnaître l'existence de la mythologie hollywoodienne dans laquelle baignait le cinéma américain.

ou plus précisément: "pour confirmer qu'il est conscient de l'existence de" mais c'est trop long.

to acknowledge = d'une façon générale, confirmer avoir pris note de // simplement être conscient de l'existence de (sans approuver ou désapprouver)

"to acknowledge the Hollywood mythology" va de pair avec "for them Hollywood did not exist at all"
