Lines of Power/Limits of Language
Olsson's singular brand of linguistic experimentation focuses on the basic structures that determine the organization of knowledge. He repeatedly reveals the nexus between the exercise of power, the use and content of language, and the taken-for-granted internal worlds of individuals.
"This collection of essays is an exemplary exercise in abstracting the regulatory principles from a host of incommensurate world-pictures, and it is particularly effective in abstracting the constitutive stutter from the orthodoxy of identarian thought, the heterodoxy of dialectical sublation, and the undecidable play of the Saussurean Bar. Lines of Power unfolds with great insight and lucidity of imbrication of power and knowledge" Ecumene
