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.
