: This paper examines Félix Guattari's pragmatics through the concept of the diagram, highlighting its aim to overcome linguistic structuralism and shift the analysis from passive representation to action and the micropolitics of desire. Although Guattari's philosophy of language has gained prominence in Deleuzo-Guattarian studies, there remains a gap in the practical exploration of the transition from semiologized power structures to the diagrammatization of minoritarian assemblages. This is partly due to the predominance of Deleuze’s figure in the reception of their joint work. Therefore, this study seeks to delineate the exclusive role of pragmatism in Guattari’s individual writings. Guattari's pragmatics proposes dismantling codified linguistic systems through signs that enable new assemblages. This approach allows for the deconstruction of meaning production within concrete micropolitics, thus gaining access to aberrant systems that transcend the structuralist logic of the unconscious, exposing its politicized dimension and subjection to power. Keywords: Féliz Guattari; Semiotics; Pragmatics; Diagram; Gilles Deleuze.
