Summary: | This contribution is the initially to show how the approach of cultural industries takes specific and original turns in other linguistic-cultural contexts. But its principal characteristic is to replace these same cultural industries face the new challenges which are those of the digital age, and beyond these, the strong injunction that is made, both in international organizations and by publicists and experts in the direction of "economization" of culture (the issue of creative industries is one manifestation of this trend). Radical changes are underway which call into question the social and political function of culture (and thus the cultural policies). It follows a series of requirements for the thought, for the policy and for the research (including for the theory of cultural industries).
