Repositioning this book before the boundaries and the politics of worldmaking accompanying the ontic and ontopolitical formation(s) of the international also means repositioning it before that which always already escapes the international’s logocentric formation(s), even if leaving traces within. In other words, it also means repositioning this work before the international’s hauntological, constitutive outside. Thus, I reposition the book in this chapter before the world. I offer a critical reading of Carl Schmitt’s exemplary story of the hyper-imperialist appropriation (Derrida 2002b) and absolute anchoring (Derrida 1988) of the world. In so doing, I propose to rethink the politics of international law and worldmaking otherwise (King et al., 2020b). So, displacing the “context,” as well as the “center,” I propose a decolonial deconstruction of the international. On the one hand, rereading international law as language, I question international law’s embedded politics of worldmaking, while problematizing and provincializing its grammar and universal middle terms before the world. On the other hand, I rethink the politics of international law (and/as language) before a différant (Derrida, 2016; Nancy 1997, 2000) and pluriversal world of many worlds (de la Cadena e Blaser 2018; King 2020). My aim in this chapter is de-anchoring the world.
