This essay aims to a reflection on the transformations in the relations between culture and consumption, from the earlier Veblens’ writings though the dawn of a globalized culture. Such changes are analyzed from the point of view of changes in capitalist economy, which results in a global configu- ration. One emphasizes consumption as a social distinction practice, which legitimacy standards come into a crisis as new globalized practices come to scene. This takes to a new articulation of symbolic strategies of social differentiation. Among these new strategies one emphasizes a new modality of cul- tural competence: the informational competence, related to the domain of new technologies.
