Abstract

Cultural consumption makes us understand the global architecture of societies homogeneous in some
aspects and very unequal and fragmented in others. The mechanisms of the globalized economy are
leading into the globalization of habits and customs of the world population. This aspect of the phenomenon has multiple signs, among which the unidimensionality of cultural consumption can be highlighted.
Thus, every day the inhabitants of different cities in the world would consume at the same time the same
products originated in the cultural industry in different contexts, constituting the show business society.
Has cinema a determined functionalism today? Is this functionalism manifested or hidden?
