Resumen

Este artículo investiga la emergencia del giro afectivo como perspectiva epistemológica y metodológica en las Relaciones Internacionales, cuestionando los límites de los enfoques racionalistas y constructivistas tradicionales. Basándose en un diálogo con autores como Spinoza, Deleuze y Guattari propone una comprensión del afecto como fuerza relacional y transindividual, anterior al lenguaje, la conciencia y la racionalidad. El giro afectivo ofrece una ontología alternativa al homo economicus, integrando el cuerpo, el deseo y la emoción en el análisis de lo político y lo internacional. A través de una crítica al dualismo mente-cuerpo y a la hegemonía del modelo racional de agencia, el texto presenta los afectos como vectores centrales para la producción de subjetividades, sensibilidad y formas de poder. Al articular teoría crítica y cultura política, el artículo contribuye a ampliar el alcance analítico de las RRII y reposiciona la experiencia vivida como dimensión constitutiva de las dinámicas globales contemporáneas.
