APPI Cartels
Jacques Lacan’s invention of the device called cartel consists of people who choose to work together on a particular text or theme (e.g., a Seminar of Lacan). It is formed by a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 (plus the “plus-one”).
The cartel works without a hierarchy or a master and the function of the “plus-one”, freely chosen by members of the cartel, is to encourage the work of the cartel alongside a production by each cartel member concerning the trait or theme that drew them to work in a particular cartel.
One does not need to be a member of ICLO to form or be part of a cartel and a cartel meets at a rhythm decided between the cartel members. Cartels may meet in person or virtually and in the latter case this often means working with people from different countries.
We invite everyone interested in forming or joining a cartel to contact Alan Rowan or Amanda Lynch at [email protected]
