%X : The act and practise of relating is a key element in developing narratives. This essay will explore the interplay and connections between relating and narrating, and the possibilities of producing alternative narratives, independent from hierarchical structures located in linearity, causality and genealogy, by exploring what Gilles Deleuze termed ¡®involution,¡¯ as an alternative device of relating. This essay will explore and exemplify this, by focusing on artistic and curatorial strategies of the artist/curators Carson & Miller in the exhibition The Story of Things. This exhibition¡¯s re-organisation of anthropological and ethnographic objects challenges the conventional and traditional representation of such objects in linear and genealogical ways. Curatorial and artistic strategies of display, such as unconventional juxtapositions, slight shifts of the constituent parts of objects, and incongruous combinations of them will be examined. The essay will argue that such strategies are effective in establishing new modes of narrative organisation and new products of combination and juxtaposition. R¨¦sum¨¦:  L'art et la pratique de lier sont des donn¨¦es capitales dans le d¨¦veloppement de n'importe quel r¨¦cit. Dans cette ¨¦tude, on voudrait examiner les rapports et le dialogue entre ces deux aspects (r¨¦cit et mise en relation), puis s'interroger sur les mani¨¨res possibles de produire des formes de r¨¦cit non classiques, ind¨¦pendantes des structures hi¨¦rarchiques fix¨¦es par les notions de lin¨¦arit¨¦, causalit¨¦ et g¨¦n¨¦alogie mais inform¨¦es par la notion deleuzienne d'involution comme technique non canonique de mise en rapport. La pr¨¦sente ¨¦tude compte explorer et exemplifier cette approche en s'appuyant sur les strat¨¦gies artistiques et les choix d'exhibition des Carson & Miller dans l'exposition The Story of Things. La mani¨¨re dont cette exposition r¨¦organise les objets anthropologiques et ethnographiques est u
