Talk:Bricolage

[edit] Definition
I don't agree with the opening definition "A bricoleur is a person who creates things from scratch" since this is contradicted by the rest of the article. I have changed it to "A bricoleur is a person who creates things from existing materials".--RichardVeryard 17:55, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Structure
I have grouped some of the topics together, which I think should improve readability.--RichardVeryard 17:55, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- I have moved the recently-added section on Sherry Turkle from the Science section to the Information Technology section, since Turkle's usage seems to be a continuation/development of Ciborra's usage. --RichardVeryard 12:59, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Biologists
I have added a link to an article by PZ Myers. I am aware that there is some discussion on Myers' notability for Wikipedia purposes. I have no opinion on this, but the article seems like a useful source for a discussion of bricolage in biology. --RichardVeryard 23:50, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lévi-Strauss
Someone has just deleted the following assertion without explanation: "The term was coined by French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss." This assertion had been there since November 18th 2005. If if wasn't Lévi-Strauss, then who was it? Can we have a reference either way please? --RichardVeryard 23:40, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
