The lament over the crisis of representation has a technocratic and voluntaristic flavor at the same time, as if representation were a broken machine that could somehow be fixed. The underlying suggestion is that if politicians "get closer" or are "more connected" with the day-to-day lives of citizens, another rooster will crow. But under this way of understanding the crisis of representation, whoever strives to solve it, what he is really asking for is more «personalist politics» (in the language of the 20th century ) or more «populism» (in the language of the 21st century.
In any case, it seems that we are facing a problem of degree, a setback that could be solved simply by changing the behavior of politicians, "breaking their bubble." On the other hand, the lament for the way in which the mass public conversation deteriorates democracy is much more virulent and seems to touch deeper fibers: polarization, the spread of fake news or the conversion of politics into a battle of “identities”. ; the people who spend much more time showing off than actually participating in transformin Jamaica Phone Number List world or improving collective life.

The meanings of democracy In the following pages I propose to rescue the idea of crisis of representation from this circumstantial, recurrent , melancholic and frustrating understanding, because I believe that the idea hides a deep and essential meaning to understand the meaning of representative democracy.
In my opinion, the crisis of representation is not a "solvable" problem of representative democracy, but rather a structural feature, essential, which it cannot do without. The real crisis would not be the truism and supposedly conjunctural distance between representatives and represented, but rather an internal division within each citizen, within each modern person; the distance and separation between the two elements that make up the political freedom of Modernity: the right to vote and freedom of expression.the crisis of representation is not a "solvable" problem of representative democracy, but rather a structural feature ,essential, which it cannot do without.
