It must, of course, be said that in this world of 'service industries', both
procedure and process have become commodities in the marketplace.
Unlike some others, I feel that Olson is a poor example to cite. Yes, the
later Maximus bits approach some quality of process, but it really isn't, in
my opinion, very good work.
I would not have mentioned Olson but for the fact that he was being used to
support the, to my mind risible, proposition that Prynne's work is 'open'
and being misapplied to underpin the use of 'postmodern' for aesthetic
purposes when his intention was political. And yes, I know, these two fields
overlap, but they are not interchangeable.
