[-empyre-] October 2007: "DNA Poetics"

[Nicholas Ruiz III <editor@intertheory.org>]

October 2007 on -empyre-: "DNA Poetics"


DNA Poetics

Two words well placed, no?  After Judith Roof's  "The
Poetics of DNA".  That DNA (hereafter Code) is
perhaps, but a metaphor for a substance (and/or
protocol?) is what concerns us here, this month of
October, on -empyre-.

The Code is meaningful, we can agree.  But of what
meaning is it full? Meaningful of biology?  Meaningful
of poetry?  Should we speak of the people's (public)
Code?  A corporatized (private) Code?  
Who is charged with its derivation? 
With the responsibility of Code's proof?  

Is there no Code, and only 'codes'?
