SPATIAL BRICOLAGE: Methodological Eclecticism & the Poetics of 'Making Do' 

Special issue of Humanities

Edited by Les Roberts (2017/18)

 www.mdpi.com/journal/humanities/special_issues/spatial_bricolage

This open-access Humanities special issue draws together scholarship gleaned from the interdisciplinary fields of spatial anthropology and spatial humanities. Provisionally organised around the idea of the researcher-as-bricoleur, the aim of the special issue has been to explore the idea of 'spatial bricolage' as an interdisciplinary, or 'undisciplined' nexus of spatial practices and on-the-fly methods designed to variously map, invoke, contest, or simply allow immersion in an idea, materiality or affect of space.

Keywords: spatial anthropology; deep mapping; bricolage; autoethnography; gleaning; performance; non-representational methods; psychogeography; interdisciplinarity
