I was digging through some old books and came upon one that was particularily inspiring to me when i was 18 and living in london....

"Subculture: The Meaning of Style" by Dick Hebdige

this article was transformational for me...

The subject of many research papers, insight into fashion.... inspired first by the writings of
bricoleur // bricolage

some wiki notes, possible new reading material, nicely organized in different perspectives by meaning:

"The reasoning here being that, since mythological thought is all generated by human imagination, it is based on personal experience, and so the images and entities generated through 'mythological thought' rise from pre-existing things in the imaginer's mind."   -The Savage Mind' (1962, English translation 1966), French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss


"In this style of coding, the programmer works without an exhaustive preliminary specification, opting instead for a step-by-step growth and re-evaluation process.The bricoleur resembles the painter who stands back between brushstrokes, looks at the canvas, and only after this contemplation, decides what to do next."  - Epistemological Pluralism,  Joan Turkle

Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, in their 1972 book Anti-Oedipus, identify bricolage as the characteristic mode of production of the schizophrenic producer


In the discussion of constructionism, Seymour Papert discusses two styles of solving problems. Contrary to the analytical style of solving problems he describes bricolage as a way to learn and solve problems by trying, testing, playing around.


Joe L. Kincheloe has used the term bricolage in educational research to denote the use of multiperspectival research methods. In Kincheloe's conception of the research bricolage, diverse theoretical traditions are employed in a broader critical theoretical/critical pedagogical context to lay the foundation for a transformative mode of multimethodological inquiry. Using these multiple frameworks and methodologies researchers are empowered to produce more rigorous and praxiological insights into socio-political and educational phenomena.
