Xenobacillus glossophagii

by Kenji Siratori, Zoetica Ebb (Contributor)

This book explores Xenobacillus glossophagii as a xenopoetic entity in the field of pathogenic biolinguistics, positing the bacterium not as a biological organism in the traditional sense, but as a recursive mythopoeic infection of the Platonic logos. Through an engagement with Deleuze’s critique of Platonism, Duns Scotus’ theory of univocity, and Leibniz’s metaphysical principles, the book traces how X. glossophagii parasitizes the criteria of truth rather than its claimants, undermining the epistemological hygiene of dialectical distinction. This linguistic pathogen induces a state of semiotic necrosis—a collapse of the propositional structure of language into recursive mythologemes and corrupted predications—rendering grammar a site of ontological autoimmunity. The book theorizes X. glossophagii as a machinic agent of difference without identity, speaking not about being but as being, in univocal pulsations that erode the analogical structures of Thomistic ontology and the representational logic of Aristotelian genera. Through this infection, concepts like goodness, oneness, and truth become metabolic substrates of linguistic decay. Language ceases to refer; it replicates. Haecceity is no longer individuating but viral, a differential ooze that folds subjectivity into microbial singularities. Drawing on Deleuze’s work in Difference and Repetition and The Fold, the book maps the infection’s semiotic topography through the logic of peristaltic folds, machinic simulation, and ontological recursion. Ultimately, the book proposes that in X. glossophagii, we encounter a xenopoetic pathogen that enacts the horror of the dialectic's autoimmune not the failure of language, but its hyperfunction. The infected subject becomes a glossophagic lesion through which being speaks—not in unity, but in infinite semiotic difference. The pathogen does not claim to be true; it performs the test by which truth is recursively falsified. Language horror, then, is not the absence of sense, but its parasitic proliferation beyond the virulence of univocal being as xenogenic utterance.

About the author

A Japanese avant-garde artist who is currently bombarding the internet with wave upon wave of highly experimental, uncompromising, progressive, intense prose. His is a writing style that not only breaks with tradition, it severs all cords, and can only really be compared to the kind of experimental writing techniques employed by the Surrealists, William Burroughs and Antonin Artaud. Embracing the image mayhem of the digital age, his relentless prose is nonsensical and extreme, avant-garde and confused, with precedence given to twisted imagery, pace and experimentation over linear narrative and character development. Blood Electric (Creation Books) was acclaimed by Dennis Copper, David Bowie. And he collaborated with David Toop, Andrew Liles. Recent books are HACK_ (2011), Googleplex Otakky (2012), Witzelsucht (2012), Cruel Akihabara Eroguro Mutants (2013), Mononoke Vibration (2013).
