description In place of an abstract, here are a few lines written by a reader of this article, someone who is himself a contributor to this issue on “Plastic Anthropologies”, and is keen on Lacan’s topology.Four people—Laurence, Baptiste, Vincent and Jérémy, who have been working together for a few years on a re-imagining, a re-writing, a re-situating, a performance and an (“incremental”) re-programming inspired by the film Les Maîtres fous by Jean Rouch—were invited by a fifth person, Carl, to show and talk about what they have done, in such a way that the article itself re-enacts and therefore transforms the academic ritual of the “round-table discussion”. In my view, this consists in turning the round table into a torus table, the torus being the topological shape that problematises the interior and exterior. The text disrupts the usual idea of a document “containing” an already completed work. The reader gets an idea of the work done over the years, but the subject of the article is neither a history of, nor a retrospective “return” to, the project, but rather a re-torus. It is a simultaneous look at the past and future, at how the individuals who participated—those four at least—got down to work and continue to pursue a desire to get down to work, in quadruple connection with: i) Rouch’s Les Maîtres fous; ii) a performance by the company Dodescaden, also entitled Les Maîtres fous; iii) the fifty hours of film of the performance; iv) the programming of a machine, an art installation called Performance in absentia, which presents possible arrangements of those films such that it re-enacts the performance in a way that is both controlled, because it is configured, but also uncontrolled, because the programme has the built-in ability to produce unexpected results.
