In this paper we have analyzed the $\kappa$-deformed Minkowski spacetime through the light of the interference phenomena in quantum field theory where two opposite chiral fields are put together in the same multiplet and its consequences are discussed. The chiral models analyzed here are the chiral Schwinger model, its generalized version, and its gauge invariant version, where a Wess-Zumino term was added. We will see that the final actions obtained here are, in fact, related to the original ones via duality transformations.
