Description
Summary:From its origins and its institutionalised utilisation, by the scientific content which is attached to it, the notion of a cultural era remains profoundly ambiguous and contradictory. The aim of this article is to pose the question of its validity as a tool and as an object of research in a context which valorises interculturalism and the study of the process of globalisation. Furthermore, a thematic approach based on cultural eras permits us to give means to a better understanding of the plurality of the world.
