Given the uncertainties arising from the decline of the post-Cold War liberal
order, the discipline of International Relations seeks to rearticulate subjectivities
amid a changing global order. The interconnection between personal subjective life
and social subjective life becomes evident when we consider how affects influence
political decisions, shape the perception of truth, and contribute to the construction
of reality. By exploring international relations through the intersection of the
evolution of psychiatry, we can see how the event of madness is not reduced to an
isolated event in a single individual. Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, in The Anti-Oedipus, propose that underneath every society there is a vast flow of libidinal-unconscious matter that constitutes the delirium of society. They understand
delirium as the general matrix of all unconscious social investment, suggesting an
intrinsic relationship between madness and thought. Influenced by this system of
thought, we propose in this thesis an alternative to the orthodox conception of
identity reduced to an I in the field of international relations. What we call an
essentialist ontology (essence), replacing it with a Deleuzian immanent ontology,
understood as an ontology of meaning (sens). Madness is conceived here not as an
individual condition, but as a methodology, a post-human theorization that
emphasizes the processes of becoming and differentiation, considering all bodies,
human and non-human, in a constant, fluid, and relational process. In this way,
taking delirium as a method, we seek to question the nature of international
relations, offering a critique of the ontological presuppositions of the concept of
international, which establishes a statist ontology linked to the axiom of
Westphalia. We propose the need to confront identity-based structures, revealing
how modern Western thought has shaped modes of thought and categories in IR.
We suggest a restructuring of identity and difference through an ontology of desire
and immanent lines, fundamental to a generalized theory of flows in IR, inspired
by Deleuze and Guattari s philosophy of difference. Finally, the importance of this
movement would be given by the exploration of the so-called affective turn in the
humanities and social sciences, introducing schizoanalytic cartography as a
research method. This approach offers a speculative critique of the orthodox
ontology of International Relations and proposes an ontological restructuring based
on Deleuze and Guattari, seeking a more relational understanding of international
assemblages.
