BLA BLA BLA, lecture series – Marion ZILIO “La grande bouffe”

The larvae invite us to a big meal, where we eat each other, and where the human returns humbly to its etymological origin : humus, to compost. They make of the human a matter which circulates in other beings and reveal the evidence of a porosity of the animal worlds, plants, microbial and abiotic. They establish the reign of transitions and coevolutions rather than closed and completed totalities. The larvae as well as the parasites are the small, the despised, the mass of workers of the shade or the bogeymen who give to the evolution an unsuspected intersubjectivity.
