“…By this detour, ideally, one gains a deeper theoretical understanding of the complex developments that contributed to the recent feeling of crisisa crisis which actually may have its deeper roots in the fact that ingenious political forms like parties which once managed to reconcile and balance both sides of the underlying antinomy are no longer functional (cf. the contribution of Felix Heidenreich in the present volume: Heidenreich 2019; for an analysis of the crisis of representation according to Rosanvallon see also Weymans 2007).…”

“…Weymans (2005) buscou mostrar como esse conceito oferece uma solução para a tensão entre os princípios abstratos que devem guiar uma coletividade e sua realidade concreta. Em outro artigo, ele examinou também a ideia de "crise da representação", a partir de uma comparação do pensamento de Rosanvallon com o de Quentin Skinner, privilegiando o papel da história na compreensão do presente (Weymans, 2007). Diehl (2019) também focou o conceito de representação, assim como o de "povo", para demonstrar como eles ajudavam a explicar o populismo.…”

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é examinar a contribuição de Pierre Rosanvallon para a compreensão do populismo. Para tanto, adotamos duas abordagens: a primeira, internalista, consiste numa análise rigorosa da obra Le Siècle du populisme (2020), assim como na articulação desta com sua teoria das mutações da democracia contemporânea (2006-2015); a segunda consiste no cotejamento de Le Siècle du populisme com obras de outros autores sobre o tema. O artigo está dividido em três segmentos. No primeiro, analisamos Le Siècle du populisme focando os dois aspectos que consideramos mais originais: a tipologia das “democracias-limite” e suas formas de degradação, e sua crítica ao populismo. No segundo, articulamos essa obra à sua teoria das mutações da democracia contemporânea. No terceiro, inserimos a obra de Rosanvallon no interior da bibliografia sobre o tema do populismo, explorando como o autor pensa o populismo em interação com a democracia e comparando-o com três das principais leituras contemporâneas sobre o tema: a de Nadia Urbinati, no campo da teoria democrática, e a de Ernesto Laclau e Chantal Mouffe, dois dos principais teóricos do “populismo de esquerda”, objeto da crítica de Rosanvallon. Concluímos que o que diferencia sua contribuição para a pesquisa sobre o populismo é o alcance de sua teoria, capaz de incorporar tensões e complexidades ao estudo da democracia, e que oferece uma saída para as ambiguidades teóricas das análises precedentes sobre o populismo.

“…Weymans (2005) sought to examine how this concept offers a solution to the tension between abstract principles that must guide a collectivity and its concrete reality. In another article, Weymans (2007) examined the concept of "crisis of representation", building on a comparison between Rosanvallon's thought and that of Quentin Skinner, focusing on the role of history in understanding the present (2007). Diehl (2019) also focused on the concept of representation, as well as on that of "people" to analyze how they help to explain populism.…”

This paper examines Pierre Rosanvallon’s contribution to understanding populism by adopting two approaches: the first one is the internalist approach, comprising an analysis of his book Le Siècle du populisme (2020) and its comparison with his theory of changes in contemporary democracy (2006-2015). The second approach consists of comparing Le Siècle du populisme with the works of other authors on the subject. The paper is divided into three parts. First, we analyze Le Siècle du populisme, focusing on the two aspects that we consider the most original: the typology of “limit forms of democracy” and its ways of degradation and his critique of populism. In the second part, we contrast this work with his theory of changes in contemporary democracy. In the third part, we contextualize Rosanvallon’s work within the literature on populism, exploring the author’s idea of populism vis-à-vis democracy. We also compare his interpretation with three of the main contemporary works on the subject: that of Nadia Urbinati involving theory of democracy, and that of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, leading theorists of “leftist populism”, targets of Rosanvallon’s criticism. Then, we argue that what distinguishes his contribution to populism research is the scope of his theory, able to encompass tensions and complexities in the study of democracy and that offers a way out of the theoretical ambiguities of previous studies on populism.
