Parasites. Iter, of Writing: That It Perhaps Does Not Exist

 several aspects of parasitism of Cladosporium tenuissimum on Uromyces appendiculatus


"The Unconscious not only as the great Parasite of every ideal model of a speech act (simple, serious, literal, strict, etc.), but the Unconscious as that parasite which subverts and dis-plays [de.joue], parasitically, even the concept of parasite itself as it is used in the theoretical strategy envisaged by Austin or by Searle. "(..)

"you cannot root-out the "parasite" without rooting-out the "standard" at the same time. (..)"

"The problem, in a word, is that the logic of parasitism is not a logic of distinction or of opposition, and that Searle constantly seeks to analyze parasitism in a logic that it has rendered possible and impossible at once. A parasite is neither the same as nor different from that which it parasites. The possibility of fiction cannot be derived."(..)
 I will add here (…) that parasitism (in the strict sense, if one can still speak of this) is always
susceptible to the parasitism of citation, just as citationality can always be parasited by the parasite. The parasite parasites the limits that guarantee the purity of rules and of intentions, and this is not devoid of import for law, politiCS, economics, ethics, etc."
