bricoleur

A term introduced by Lévi-Strauss, describing a type of thinking and symbolization; the opposite of "engineer". The engineer creates specialized tools for specialized purposes. The bricoleur is a "jack-of-all-trades", who uses few, non-specialized tools for a wide variety of purposes. There is a loose connection between, on the one hand, the bricoleur and "primitive" societies, and, on the other, the engineer and modern societies.
