Continuing the Conceptualization of the Bricolage

  • Chapter
Key Works in Critical Pedagogy

Part of the book series: Bold Visions in Educational Research ((BVER,volume 32))

Abstract

Joe regarded the bricolage as his most important work in the context of critical qualitative research. He refused to label it methodology; rather he saw it as a philosophical stance in which to create interpretation. Always the hermeneutic, he expected research to be rigorous, personal, transgressive, and to contain multiple, tentative interpretations. Like Hermes, he expected the message of research to be flexed, stretched, negated, and reinforced, and indeed, he saw the teacher/researcher/scholar to be a trickster of interpretation, a shapeshifter of scholarship.
