The social consequences of anti-parasitic urbanism, as efforts to
expunge supposedly biological parasites penalize those viewed as
social parasites. According to French philosopher Michel Serres,
ordered systems are founded on the pathologization of parasites,
which can never be fully expelled. In Paris and the Parasite, Macs
Smith extends Serres's approach to Paris as a mediatic city, asking
what organisms, people, and forms of interference constitute its
parasites. Drawing on French poststructuralist theory and
philosophy, media theory, the philosophy of science, and an array
of literary and cultural sources, he examines Paris and its
parasites from the early nineteenth century to today, focusing on
the contemporary city. In so doing, he reveals the social
consequences of anti-parasitic urbanism.
