The Manouche, like other Gypsy groups, owe their biological and cultural survival to their use of concealment techniques adapted to the circumstances, sometimes trying to hide physically to escape persecution or police harassment, and sometimes blending into the surrounding society on which they depend. These processes of withdrawal and invisibility, which depend on the circumstances, are part of a more global strategy allowing the Manouche to have a society by means of the continuous production of differences, of which only a small part is visible from the outside. This essay also explores the hidden part of the secret and discreet practices of differentiation by showing how the existence of Gypsy society relies on the sacralization and, at the same time, the concealment of the deceased.
