Resumo
Traz uma reflexão sobre o conceito e a prática da representação política, suas possibilidades e seus limites, especialmente trazendo à discussão o paradoxo lógico inerente à relação entre representados e representantes. Retoma o clássico
livro de Hanna Pitkin (1967), no qual, partindo da etimologia e
da história do conceito, refere-se aos tipos por ele engendrados
para a atividade política, segundo a perspectiva liberal, alicerçada
na democracia representativa. O contraponto crítico parte de
Rousseau, com a centralidade do conceito de vontade política,
e reúne posteriormente autores do campo da democracia direta
em suas vertentes à esquerda, como os argumentos apresentados
em um artigo de Paul Sartre e em considerações do pensador
anarquista Lysander Spooner. Toma-se o breve exemplo histórico da
Comuna de Paris, como um momento que propiciou uma reflexão
de Marx sobre esta questão. Nas considerações finais, avalia-se a
hipótese recorrente de que os princípios da representação seriam
complementares. O paradoxo da representação sugere, a partir
dos seus princípios lógicos e normativos que os procedimentos
políticos podem até sobrepor-se, mas parecem ser sobretudo
distintos e contrários. Representação e participação não seriam
complementares, mas contrapostos.
Presents a reflection on the concept and practice of political representation, its possibilities and its limits, especially bringing the discussion logical paradox inherent in the relationship between representatives and their constituencies. Reintroducing the classic book of Hanna Pitkin (1967), in which, from the etymology and history of the concept, refers to the types which he hath devised for political activity, according to the liberal perspective, founded on representative democracy. The critical counterpoint part of Rousseau, with the centrality of the concept of political will, and then gathers authors from the field of direct democracy in its tracks to the left, as the arguments presented in an article by Paul Sartre and considerations anarchist thinker Lysander Spooner. Takes up the brief historical example of the Paris Commune, as a moment that provided a reflection of Marx on this issue. In the concluding remarks, we evaluate the hypothesis applicant that the principles of representation would be complementary. The paradox of representation suggests, from its logical principles and normative political procedures may even overlap, but appear to be particularly distinctive and contrasting. Representation and participation would not be complementary but opposing.
