Inquiries into global discipline and dissent are apt to carry thinking from the most situated and specific instances of power and counter-power to broad structural orders, in a manner that is remarkably independent of political mediation and thus respectful of the ways in which actually existing human beings negotiate lives sutured at the intersection of the local and the global. This article is part of a broader theoretical project that is informed by historical research on a wide variety of movements of resistance against world ordering—from slave revolts at the beginning of the nineteenth century, to coolies uprisings in the twentieth, to gas and water wars at the beginning of the twenty-first. In it, I come to distinguish between two modes of relation to the world economy. In creative dislocation, situated life gets resolved before being carried off, neat and bereft of possibilities, into the global. In the process, a putative subject gets made that carries a reified sense of itself. In the dialectics of presence, the unresolved lot of situated life gets taken whole to the world economy. Wars of position give way to wars of movement. Dialectically, positions come to be charged with a sense of context and possibilities. World-historical subjects sometimes make themselves for a while, from conditions that were not of their choosing.
