Esoterism is obviously one of the grand cultural traditions, and I'm not pretending that we should completely banish it from ours. And if mithracism was indeed a religion with mysteries, the new christian religion will, as for it, eliminate, of its canon, all traces of esoterism, with the result that the image of an ethereal Christ has now disappeared from the scene, itself beeing replaced by an iconograyphy showing Jesus as a man with flesh and bones. To deal with the question of the esoterism of African masks, I propose breaking it down into three parts and examining them in turn: the basic concepts of the problem: mask, language, discourse, esoterisms; the exoterism (or non-esoterism) of masks as a demonstratively collective, popular and religious expression and the esoterism of masks: secrets, forms of transmission or handing down, problems in relation to modernism. |
