Journal Article
The Critic as Parasite
2019
Overview
(Serres 2007) Serres concludes this story in a way that makes me think that parasites are a little bit like literary critics. Since he does not eat like everyone else, he builds a new logic. [...]that is what para means: \"standing off to the side.\" Driving this point home, Volpone confesses, I gain No common way; I use no trade, no venture; I wound no earth with plowshares, fat no beasts To feed the shambles; have no mills for iron, Oil, corn, or men to ground them into powder; I blow no subtle glass, expose no ships To threat'nings of the furrow-facèd sea; I turn no moneys in the public bank, Nor usure private.
