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'?
Pleas join us and perhaps we shall know better.
