ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the discipline of international relations (IR), and explains about the discipline any more. It defines sovereignty as a major literature that spatially and temporally answers the modern paradoxes of being, knowledge, and value. The crisis constitutes a lack that cannot or must not be solved, only rehearsed and disseminated. The primary goal of critical projects ceases to be tethered to accentuating disciplinary crisis and problematizing sovereignty. Instead, the cascading point of resistance resides in and through a performance of indifference. The most exciting thing about Deleuze and Guattari's treatment of major and minor literatures is that major and minor do not necessarily relate to each other. While a major literature is by definition interested in a minor literature, a minor literature is indifferent to or disinterested in the major literature. Minor literatures are disinterested. This characterization of a disinterested attitude is rooted in Deleuze's treatment of difference and his reverse Platonism.
