Resumo: | The paper analyzes the recent transformations in representative democracy in the contributions of Pierre Rosanvallon, from the perspective of a more just and equitable democracy. Rosanvallon opposes the reduction of democratic politics to the electoral procedure, and proposes a theory that intends to expand the meaning of political action beyond electoral mechanism. The idea of counter-democracy integrates all the instiutuitions that would act as counterpoint, creating new forms of political legitimation, absent in the minimalist conceptions of electoral democracy. Instead of lamenting the fall of the electoral system as a vehicle of popular will, the French author celebrates the emergence of non-electoral forms of accountability. The article argues that, although he intends to expand the meaning of political action beyond the formal representation, Rosanvallon promotes the disqualification of electoral politics and depoliticises the representation for the benefit of unelected powers. |

Rosanvallon se opõe à redução da política democrática ao procedimento eleitoral, e propõe uma teorização que pretende ampliar o sentido da ação política para além do mecanismo eleitoral. A ideia de contrademocracia integra o conjunto das instituições que agiriam como contraponto, criando novas formas de legitimação política, ausentes nas concepções minimalistas de democracia eleitoral. Em vez de lamentar a queda do sistema eleitoral como veículo da vontade popular, o autor francês celebra a emergência de formas não eleitorais de accountability. O artigo argumenta que, embora pretenda ampliar o sentido da ação política para além da representação formal, o autor promove a desqualificação da política eleitoral e despolitiza a representação em benefício de poderes não eleitos.UFRGS2016-12-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionpesquisa bibliográficaapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/debates/article/view/6090510.22456/1982-5269.60905Revista Debates; Vol. 10 Núm. 3 (2016): Dossiê Dilemas da Construção Democrática na América Latina; 107-129Revista Debates; v. 10 n. 3 (2016): Dossiê Dilemas da Construção Democrática na América Latina; 107-1291982-52692236-479Xreponame:Revista Debatesinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/debates/article/view/60905/39605Schramm, Luanda Diasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-08-29T14:05:00Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/60905Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/debatesPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/debates/oai1982-52692236-479Xopendoar:2017-08-29T14:05Revista Debates - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false |

The paper analyzes the recent transformations in representative democracy in the contributions of Pierre Rosanvallon, from the perspective of a more just and equitable democracy. Rosanvallon opposes the reduction of democratic politics to the electoral procedure, and proposes a theory that intends to expand the meaning of political action beyond electoral mechanism. The idea of counter-democracy integrates all the instiutuitions that would act as counterpoint, creating new forms of political legitimation, absent in the minimalist conceptions of electoral democracy. Instead of lamenting the fall of the electoral system as a vehicle of popular will, the French author celebrates the emergence of non-electoral forms of accountability. The article argues that, although he intends to expand the meaning of political action beyond the formal representation, Rosanvallon promotes the disqualification of electoral politics and depoliticises the representation for the benefit of unelected powers. |
