Resumo: In this article we propose to discuss the polysemy of democracy, since the expression has been used indiscriminately to justify arguments and actions that, at first, would not be of the democratic core. Taking the "Essay on Lucidity" by José Saramago (2005) as a motto, we raise the question of the apparent paradox of democracy: blasted as the symbol of popular sovereignty, this sovereignty is far from being effective, using the political regime as a government for the few. From the presentation of the literary work, it is possible first to present the argument of the paradox in order to illuminate the reflection so, in the second point, showing that this paradox is in fact only apparent, because what is at stake is not democracy as it is, but the hatred of it, as presented by Jacques Rancière (2014).

Tomando como lema el "Ensayo sobre la lucidez" (2005) de José Saramago, planteamos la cuestión de la aparente paradoja de la democracia: gritada como símbolo de la soberanía popular, esta soberanía está lejos de realizarse, utilizando el régimen político para unos pocos. A partir de la presentación de la obra literaria, es posible, en primer lugar, presentar el argumento de la paradoja para, en el segundo punto, iluminar la reflexión demostrando que esta paradoja es, de hecho, sólo aparente, porque lo que está en juego no es la democracia en sí, sino el odio a ella, tal como lo presenta Jacques Rancière (2014).Neste artigo propomo-nos discutir a polissemia da democracia, uma vez que a expressão tem sido utilizada indiscriminadamente para justificar argumentos e ações que, a princípio, não seriam do cerne democrático. Tomando como mote o “Ensaio sobre a Lucidez” de José Saramago (2005), levantamos a questão do aparente paradoxo da democracia: bradada como o símbolo de soberania popular, esta soberania está longe de ser efetivada, servindo-se do regime político para poucos. A partir da apresentação da obra literária, é possível, primeiro, apresentar o argumento do paradoxo para, no segundo ponto, iluminar a reflexão demonstrando que este paradoxo é, na verdade, somente aparente, porque o que está em jogo não é a democracia em si, mas é o ódio a ela, conforme apresentado por Jacques Rancière (2014).Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2018-07-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/revice/article/view/e509810.35699/2525-8036.2018.5098Revista de Ciências do Estado; Vol. 3 No. 1 (2018): Democracia e (des)governo II: análises do Brasil contemporâneo; 313 - 334Revista de Ciências do Estado; Vol. 3 Núm. 1 (2018): Democracia e (des)governo II: análises do Brasil contemporâneo; 313 - 334Revista de Ciências do Estado; v. 3 n. 1 (2018): Democracia e (des)governo II: análises do Brasil contemporâneo; 313 - 3342525-80362595-6051reponame:Revista de Ciências do Estado (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/revice/article/view/e5098/3156Copyright (c) 2018 Ana Martina Baron Engerroffhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEngerroff, Ana Martina BaronTaborda, Luana Do Roccio2023-07-24T21:38:46Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/5098Revistahttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/revicePUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/revice/oairevistadece@gmail.com || Gabriel.afns1@gmail.com2525-80362525-8036opendoar:2023-07-24T21:38:46Revista de Ciências do Estado (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
