Abstract
Taejeong Song (Daebul U)This article explores how Richard Powers The Gold Bug Variations, aninterdisciplinary novel through the new concepts of biocriticism and biolit-erature is connected with literature/art and science/technology. Powers usesEdgar Allen Poes The Gold Bug and Johann Sebastian Bachs TheGoldberg Variations for decoding DNA in order to analogize a genomicmetaphor. He imagines literature as the book of life genome, written byDNA code due to the complexity and multiplicity of the genome. His novel,as genomic narrative, shows the articulation of the genomic reading, andexpression in the life language through the discourses of the informationtechnology and the rhetorical tropes in biology. New biological ideas arecontinually required to articulate these processes. In the present tendency ofthe Human Genome Project, such advanced devices as biocybernetics offerthe potential to open up new possibilities to researching the complexity ofthe genome. This can only happen if the following two ideas are followed:One is to comply with advanced technologies for processing the rapidlyincreasing data of the genome sequence; The other is to admit the necessaryparadigm shift in biology. As shown above, the complexity and multiplicityof the genomic reality is not so simple. We must go beyond determinism,even if representation of a biological reality reveals the possibility ofexpressing its constituent elements by the advanced biotechnology.Consequently, in the unstoppable advances of the art of decoding the
