IN THE OPENING CHAPTER of his book The Savage Mind, Levi-Strauss presents an analogy that illustrates his conception of the nature of mythmaking.' A mythmaker's behavior, Levi-Strauss states, is comparable that of a bricoleur, a handyman who creates phenomena from a finite and heterogeneous set of materials. When confronted with the task of constructing some tangible object, according Levi-Strauss, the bricoleur surveys his bricolage to consider …

Laymen and scholars alike amassed impressive quantities of ethnographic information, organized it into convenient categories, and deduced from it striking generalizations about the uniformity of cultures and the unity of man.
