Statement 48

"There is ... a critique of language in the form of bricolage, and it has even been said that bricolage is critical language itself."…If one calls bricolage the necessity of borrowing one's concept from the text of a heritage which is more or less coherent or ruined, it must be said that every discourse is bricoleur." 

Derrida, Jacques. "Structure, Sign, and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences". Writing and Difference (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1984), 285.
