Influential philosopher Michel Serres's foundational work uses fable to explore how human relations are identical to that of the parasite to the host body. Among Serres's arguments is that by being pests, minor groups can become major players in public dialogue--creating diversity and complexity vital to human life and thought.
Michel Serres is professor in history of science at the Sorbonne, professor of Romance languages at Stanford University, and author of several books, including Genesis.
Lawrence R. Schehr is professor of French at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
Cary Wolfe is Bruce and Elizabeth Dunlevie Professor of English at Rice University. His books include Zoontologies: The Question of the Animal (Minnesota, 2003).

Qui mange à table d'hôte, invité gourmand, parfois beau causeur est dit parasite. La bête petite qui vit de son hôte, qui change son état courant et le met en risque de mort, est dite, encore parasite. Le bruit qui interrompt sans cesse nos dialogues ou intercepte nos messages, voici toujours le parasite. Pourquoi nomme d'un même mot un homme, une bête et une onde ?
Voici un livre d'images d'abord comme réponse à la question, une galerie de portraits. Il faudra un peu deviner qui se dissimule sous les plumes et sous les poils, et sous l'accoutrement du fabuleux. Des animaux, grands et petits, mangent ensemble, leur festin est interrompu. Comment ? Par qui ? Pourquoi ?
Sortent les animaux, les repas continuent. Nous mangerons avec Jean-Jacques, avec Tartuffe, avec Socrate, avec les frères de Joseph...
Le parasite prend et ne donne rien : des mots, des bruits, du vent. L'hôte donne et ne reçoit rien. Voici la fléche simple, irréversible, sans retour, elle vole entre nous, c'est l'atome de la relation et c'est l'angle du changement. Abus avant l'usage et vol avant l'échange. On peut construire, à partir d'elle, ou repenser au moins, techniques et travaux, économie et société.
