- This article suggests that the notion of religious exoticism allows us to analyse the diffusion of “foreign” religious resources in contemporary societies as well as the type of engagement individuals develop with the culturally and religiously foreign. It will alto try to show that this conceptual tool allows to further analyses that have been made about the forms of bricolage that combine diverse symbolic resources, and in particular to grasp its cultural and social logics. Indeed, the understanding of bricolage with foreign religions has sometimes over-estimated its eclecticism, taken for granted the availability of religious resources, and misunderstood religious individualism.
