English term or phrase: The hidden culture
Bonjour,

je dois traduire cette expression qui se retrouve assez souvent, dans le titre de certains livres par exemple.

La culture cachée ?

Oui, pourquoi pas, dans mon texte, cette expression figure dans le titre.

Le contexte :

Le titre est The hidden culture behind the xxxx lotto (une loterie).

Le texte qui suit est en fait une étude qui se focalise sur comment s'est développée cette forme de loterie, où elle s'est développée en premier, etc...

Donc je me demande si je ne pourrais pas mieux traduire cette expression dans ce contexte.

Les racines cachées ?
Les fondements cachés ?
ou je garde "la culture cachée" ?

Merci à vous

Si vous cherchez plutôt un titre à consonance positive - pardon, je ne savais pas - voici une autre suggestion :
"L'histoire de la loterie" tout simplement.

Pardon, je voulais dire connotation positive.
