Abstract

This paper aims to reflect about a specific way of bricolage, the gambiarra, and its connections with: a) aesthetic-political processes of constitution of the self-realization and autonomy of the subjects, and b) a poetics of the knowledge that uses bricolage to expand languages, bodies and objects beyond pre-fixed scripts that limit perspectives and block questioning and resistance. Firstly, we outline the relationship between the construction of autonomy and bricolage by looking at the ways in which gambiarra defines specific knowledge and lifestyles in Cuba. Then we analyze how the bricolage created in the manifestations of the Brazilian secondary schools in 2015 led to a variation of existing discourses and allowed to reinvent their enunciation, by releasing words, images and signs from their common uses.
