The Torment of Secrecy: Ethical and Epistemological Problems in the Study of Esoteric Traditions

Abstract

L'A. propose une strategie alternative pour l'analyse des traditions religieuses esoteriques. Dans la plupart des cas, il peut etre plus utile d'analyser le caractere secret en terme de forme et de tactique plutot que de contenu. Le secret est une strategie de discours specifique et un mecanisme de production de valeur symbolique. Le chercheur doit egalement rester modeste dans son approche et considerer qu'il existe des elements tres difficiles a connaitre. L'A. modifie la notion de capital symbolique developpee par Bourdieu. Comme tout discours, le secret peut servir a renforcer ou a subvertir
