  • Abstract:
  • This article illustrates the use of a bricoleur approach to understand gender. The bricoleur approach has been discussed theoretically as it was first used by Claude Levi-Strauss (Levi-Strauss, 1966) and then we discuss it as elaborated by Denzin and Lincoln (Denzin & Lincoln, 2005), Kincheloe (Kincheloe, 2004) and Berry (Berry, 2004). Following Berry ( 2004) the POET used is gender testing in sports. The cases of some athletes in the international arena and Indian context are discussed. This raises questions about the epistemology and ontology in terms of the science that has been used for testing gender and for ‘failing’ some athletes on the basis of their gender. In the construction of the bricolage we then move onto discussing the theoretical understanding of gender as it has developed.
