Re: [-empyre-] a book, dna and code

Well now, there you have it. It's a miracle humans don't all
spontaneously combust. Judith's comment from an earlier post stays
with me:

"My question is what the connection is between representation which
must be misunderstood, discarded, and minimalized on a regular basis
and the drive towards making policy, considering policy, deciding what
is right and wrong."

Judith's brave explanation of Poetics (in the context the book) as
"the use of metaphor and narrative both as compensatory and
strategic," and "the large sense that ... analyzes the deployment of
such figures as persistent mythologies," will no doubt be added to
Flaubert's famous dictionary.

I find myself curiouser and intrigued. I sense functions of caveat,
resistance and totalizing rhetoric in your ideas. It still seems that
you're protesting word or acronym usage in social contexts like
genetics research that are defined according to convention and field,
capital too, something your saint Roland was fond of writing about,
although not often on same sex themes. Thanks for your bold responses.
