valorization
Making something valuable
Valorization is the act of giving or ascribing value to something, often in academic or critical contexts: the valorization of manual labor, cultural valorization of thinness.
The word carries a faintly skeptical tone, suggesting the value assigned may be arbitrary or ideological rather than inherent.
In economics, valorization can mean artificially raising or maintaining the price of a commodity through government intervention.
