The complex juxtaposition of private practice and public visibility/invisibility of contemporary Ismaili Muslims has certain parallels with other religious communities, but it exhibits unique features. This community adheres to an esotericism that has shaped its hermeneutic and communication practices. In a seeming paradox, the group is also extensively engaged in the public sphere. However, its communal institutions are limiting the dissemination of texts pertaining to the religious addresses and biography of the group’s leader, Aga Khan IV. He is instead increasingly turning to architecture to communicate the community’s worldview by using design in a symbolic manner. La juxtaposition complexe entre les pratiques privees et la visibilite/invisibilite propres aux musulmans ismaeliens contemporains a certains paralleles avec d’autres communautes religieuses, mais elle comporte aussi des caracteristiques uniques. En effet, cette communaute privilegie un esoterisme qui a forme ses pratiques hermeneutiques et communicationnelles. D’autre part, dans un paradoxe apparent, ce groupe s’engage dans la sphere publique. Cependant, ses institutions communales sont en train de limiter la dissemination de textes relatifs aux discours religieux du chef du groupe, Aga Khan IV, ainsi qu’a sa biographie. De plus en plus, celui-ci se tourne plutot vers l’architecture pour communiquer le point de vue de la communaute en utilisant le design de maniere symbolique.
