Resumo: This paper is an attempt to pave the theoretical way to substitute the political for politics. After illustrating how mainstream IR theories reify the State as the dominant form of subjectivity, I explore the power ontology shared by the critics of this mode of representation. In my view, this conception of power explains why critical theorists have a broader and richer perspective that serves their aim of rethinking the political. This new ontology is presented through a reading of Foucault’s analytics of power: the juridico-discursive representation of power, which is attributed to mainstream scholars, is opposed to the power-as-productive representation, which I believe critical theorists share. By reading Darby's The Fiction of Imperialism and Said's Orientalism through the foucauldian categories of strategy and tactics, I attempt to illustrate how the power-as-productive figuration can be deployed to destabilize the juridico-discursive one. This is one way of locating where cultural studies and postcolonialism meet global politics.

Después de ilustrar cómo las principales teorías de las RI cosifican al estado como la forma dominante de subjetividad, exploro la ontología del poder compartida por los críticos de este modo de representación a través de una lectura de la "analítica del poder" de Foucault: la representación legal. La visión discursiva del poder, que se atribuye a los estudiosos convencionales, se opone a la representación del poder como productivo, que creo que comparten los teóricos críticos. Al leer La ficción del imperialismo de Darby y el orientalismo de Said a través de las categorías de estrategia y táctica de Foucault, trato de ilustrar cómo la configuración del poder como productivo puede usarse para desestabilizar la figuración legal-discursiva. Ésta es una forma de ubicar dónde los estudios culturales y el poscolonialismo se encuentran con la política global.Este artigo é uma tentativa de pavimentar o caminho teórico para substituir a política pelo político.
