Abstract "From influence to borrowing to the "creativity" of AI, and from more obvious historical discourses of appropriation, like colonialism and imperialism, parasitical logic has distinct cultural genealogies. The ubiquity of parasites seems to cheat substantial theorization, but this collection offers lively and suggestive essays on parasitical logic from global and interdisciplinary perspectives. Authors assess this condition via three complementary modes: via literature as a paradigm of cultural symbiosis, the representation of the parasite as a visual logic in media, and the structures of institutional parasitism, including within the US Army and the privatized university"-- Provided by publisher.
