Summary/Abstract: The intention of this article is to problematize global capitalism as the ‘common enemy’ of the ‘anti-globalization’ movements by placing it within the ambiguities of post-modernity. Looking at (post)-Fordism, I talk about the incompleteness of any hegemonic project. Gramscian understanding of hegemony as born in the factory may still be still valid but needs to be expanded to cover what Deleuze describes as ‘arbitrary bio-politics’. While power aims at control of minds, moods or feelings, the attempt to normalize these evades the power of any institution and contains the potentialities of its own subversion.
