The Testimony of Structure: Codecs and Contemporary Poetry

Nathan Jones

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The article takes the question of how poetry can react to the fact that language is part of production under semio-capitalism. It does this through the example of Ben Lerner's poetry. It uses Berardi, Virno, Hayles, Galloway and Agamben to construct it’s argument on the kind of glitch-like ‘dark shadow’ in which the “unsayable is present as remnant”.
