Abstract

The paper analyses the relationship between the rhetoric of authenticity in the media and the transformations that the late capitalism imposed over the production and the market of goods. Ideology of authenticity and culture are fundamental concepts to understand the process of production of authenticity. Culture means here conceptual models, specifically those of heritage and biodiversity, which contributed to identify new sources of value and new values, which become new material or immaterial goods. The paper also analyses the meanings of authenticity in order to convert this concept into an analytic term.
