If Post structuralism always implies that the subject is determined in and through language (Best on Foucault) then I don't agree it's the best way of addressing the dualism of language. Language implies concepts with boundaries and binary distinctions.... My belief is that a more appropriate stance to our shared ecological situation is that our experience emerges from a collective source beyond the distinctions and judgements of language, and all it's potential conflicts. This aspect is esssentially a shared inclusive nature that we may occasionally experinece/access by remaining open to such an emergent shared optimum, and dont get drawn in to evaluative language games and distinctions. It's about conceptual, social and physical space...
Perhaps some post structuralist Authors take this view, Deleuze seems to share aspects of this view according to my reading of Delanda.
Perhaps the post structuralist turn language back on itself to point us towards the false closures and potential openings beyond the blunt instrument of language?
Perhaps as in the post below discourse structures can be analysed to identify patterns that encourage reification and normalisation of the forms of reproduction a the expense of our souls freedom?
On a reflexive level I'm not sure I can cope with the apparently mighty battles of post structural language games as Kathleen says I need to pick an author I get on with...
