cultural capital, the intangible social value of goods, is not solely generated by cultural pollution. subcultures also manipulate the value and prevalence of certain commodities through the process of bricolage. bricolage is the process by which mainstream products are adopted and transformed by subcultures. these items develop a function and meaning that differs from their corporate producer's intent. in many cases, commodities that have undergone bricolage often develop political meanings. for example, doc martens, originally marketed as workers boots, gained popularity with the punk movement and aids activism groups and became symbols of an individual's place in that social group. when corporate america recognized the growing popularity of doc martens they underwent another change in cultural meaning through counter-bricolage. the widespread sale and marketing of doc martens brought the boots back into the mainstream. while corporate america reaped the ever-growing profits of the increasingly expensive boot and those modeled after its style, doc martens lost their original political association. mainstream consumers used doc martens and similar items to create an "individualized" sense identity by appropriating statement items from subcultures they admired.
