“…Creolization as a relational process can enable new forms of identity formation and processes of communal enrichment through pacific intermixtures and aggregations, but its uneven dynamics remain a factor to consider whether in the context of colonization or globalization. [6] The meeting points of multiple diasporas and the crossing and intersection of diasporas are sites of new creolizations. [3] New sites of creolizations continue the ongoing ethics of the sharing of the world that has now become a global discourse which is rooted in English and French Caribbean.…”

“…Another feature of bricolage has gained attention in academic discourse: resistance . Knepper [Knepper 2006], exploring resistance as a strategy of bricolage in a colonial context, argues that 'bricolage can be seen as the transformation of cultural disinheritance into a strategy of resistance, "re-membering", and creative selfdetermination, but only through intensive critical and imaginative effort ' [Ibid . : 85] .…”

this paper draws on data obtained through fieldwork with first-generation russian female migrants and an online survey of male and female russian-speaking migrants who reside in Japan. the research focuses on the migrants' material culture, in particular the objects that result from their 'do-it-yourself' (dIy) practices. I expand the traditional definition of dIy: for example, I extend the definition to include items modified to meet their owners' needs, thereby retaining the features of co-making, as well as items obtained outside the conventional consumer experience. uprooted from their familiar socio-cultural environment characterised by specific forms of material expression, migrants use dIy as a tool to restore this materiality in their new location, while having to rely on limited materials and specific consumption channels. In the study, these practices are approached through the concept of bricolage, which originates from lévi-Strauss's anthropological writings, to reveal the meanings enacted through the objects that the migrants possess. K e y w o r d s: material culture, russian-speaking migrants, bricolage, 'do-it-yourself' (dIy). t o c i t e: golovina K., 'material culture and Bricolage: russian-Speaking migrants in Japan Who make and procure objects',

“…The making of place, interpreted here as the making of both place and places/spaces, as well as, the movements of self, qua subject, involves pastiche tactics and strategies of bricolage (Knepper, 2006;Vergès, 2003) 16 the deployment of elements of the ready-made, drawing from and bridging (Simon, 1986) 17 the various fragmented histories and seas of larger contexts in which 'modern people' have been placed. This view seems to be also entailed in Marx's oft-quoted phrase that '[m]en make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past' (Marx, 1978: 595).…”

‘Creolization’, as subject and problematic, seems trapped in complex processes of cultural politics within and outside the ‘Caribbean’, even as it continues to figure significantly in the histories of globalization, nationalization and regionalization. In this article, we examine the subject of ‘creolization’ that has been so discursively implicated in the time, space and power marked experiences and practices of ‘Caribbean subjects’, in order to rethink it, and offer some analytical insights into the nature of the historical processes of making ‘modern’ subjects, place, and relatedly, homing modern freedoms.
