Summary

Derrida characterizes Levi‑Strauss’s bricolage as myth‑poetic and imbues it with a theological nuance that alludes to the demiurge. He emphasizes the bricoleur’s creative reuse and adaptation of existing materials, and he identifies the concept as embodying a methodological paradox. All these points are confirmed by the current scholarly sources.
