【 摘 要 】

This paper explains the methodological choices we made in order to understand the way communication works in freemasonry, and how we tried to solve the problems we encountered when we decided to study a closed organization (more especially we made known our involvement in this object of study, as a free-mason, and the difficulties this position can cause). Then the paper clarifies the theoretical and practical approaches we have chosen. For example, we explain how we realised a lot of semiotic/hermeneutics analyses when we studied symbolic and ritual systems, and how we completed them with some interviews with others members of free-masonry. Finally, our approach is a necessary compromise between subjectivity and objective distancing. Above all, our research must be creative because it has to be adapted to the Masonic initiation, which is a gradual process based on a constructivist conception of reality and on connecting disparate elements of an extensive system.
