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.

Comme tout discours, le secret peut servir a renforcer ou a subvertir
