Here’s a breakdown of what the text suggests about Xenobacillus glossophagii:
Conceptual Characteristics:
A “language-eating bacterium”: The name itself, derived from Greek roots, suggests a bacterium that consumes or distorts language (glossos meaning “tongue” and phagion meaning “to eat”).
A metaphor for linguistic corruption and reinvention: It symbolizes an alien force that invades and transforms language, breaking down traditional meaning and potentially creating new, unintelligible forms of communication (glossolalia).
A cosmic and microbial entity: It’s portrayed as existing at the intersection of the microbial and the cosmic, parasitizing not only biological hosts but also the structures of meaning and identity.
A recursive mythopoeic infection: It’s described as an infection of the Platonic logos, undermining the criteria of truth and causing a collapse of language’s propositional structure into corrupted predications.
A machinic agent of difference: It functions as an agent that erodes analogical structures of ontology and the representational logic of language, speaking as being rather than about being.
A biopolitical challenge: It complicates traditional notions of pathogenicity by acting as a biolinguistic agent that can disrupt and sustain the body’s communicative processes, challenging human-centric views of biopolitics.
“Habitat” and Interaction: While not a biological entity with a physical habitat, the concept of Xenobacillus glossophagii is associated with the human oral microbiome, suggesting a potential site of interaction within the body. Its primary mode of interaction is through linguistic disruption and transformation, affecting communication at cellular, neurological, and broader semiotic levels.
