Abstract

The contemporary media semiosphere emerges as an explosion of that iconic turn issued twenty years ago. The analysis of the phenomenon of nowadays celebrities allows us to observe the continuous oscillation between fascination of the past and advancement towards future trends. The new celebrities are characterized with a planified process and a calculated balance between image and narration, opacity and transparency, proximity and distance, managed through an attentive use of the filters of reality.
