Adding a temporal dimension enables a depiction of emergence as 'individual's' subject positions can then change, emergence can be explored and depicted (c.f Foucault's work). Here for example.. we could consider the danger (to mutual progress via evolution of subject position) of the forces such as that of ridicule: of attempting to replace a temporal (diachronic) space of forgiveness based on natural complementary and shifting, permeable boundaries of natural evolutionary forces with the constructed absolute oppositions/fixed boundary of a form of 'humor' based on static (perhaps visual) caricature which only considers the ...'current (synchronic) structure', the dynamics of this can be depicted..and compared...
Perhaps the bias of those subject position's (and their maintenance) that rely on absolute binary opposition are susceptible to utilizing such forces.. as they may visualize any potential realm of alternatives as itself a single absolute opposition (to be avoided)?
Which positions are these? Forces of production that assume a negative ground?, Forces of material production, forces of literary production ? (c.f. extending distinction). Forces of popularization?
Forces of digitalization?
A strong position in the encoded hierarchy of the current situated structure...?
(Is there a difference between such a strong position founded on binary opposition and the force of globalized corporate capital? - Chomsky would say there isn't?)
