ABSTRACT
In France, cultural history had a big rise for some decades. But it often limited itself to a national frame. An important challenge now is to extend this cultural history to the global framework. What can be the place of cultural history in global history? Far from losing itself in a too big whole, or being split in too many pieces, losing its sense, it seems on the contrary that historical works in global cultural history could gain a real coherence in exploring socioeconomic issues at the world scale.
