BRICOLAJUL LA CLAUDE LÉVI-STRAUSS
The culture of crafting according to Levi Strauss

Summary/Abstract: In the paper of the anthropological structuralism founder, The Savage Mind, we find a special emphasis on the verb bricola (or bricoler from French). Bricola is the name of “crafting”. However, the scholar subtle observation starts from the basic meaning of the verb, incidence of movement. Therefore, the following pages will reveal relationship between thought and language of the incidence of movement in Strauss’s sense. In other words, bricola (crafting) is the later philosophical tool after the post-Kantian metaphysical crisis: the specific concept of metaphysical fatigue and committed optimism at intentional level. Bricola, arranging or crafting from the remains of the old speech. Deleuze and Guattari in Anti-Oedipus see crafting as a consequence of the schizophrenic production. The spontaneity of action and thought from Claude Levi-Strauss, although comprises of basic mythological thinking patterns, however, the concept remains quite anti-metaphysical in intention.
