Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims to discuss the concept of kitsch and the subsequent relativization to which it was subjected, in a succession imposed by an internal dynamic of the evolution of the phenomenon. Therefore, different critical approaches will be presented by providing numerous examples, many of which are innovative, considering that the discussed notion has generated some of the most nuanced perspectives which have gone from assimilation of many contexts to challenging and reformulating them, thus emphasizing the extremes of the later conception.
