Resumen
Desde hace más de medio siglo en las teorías de la política y al interior del gran campo de la ciencia política, el término democracia está disponible para hablar de la construcción y tramitación de los asuntos comunes. Sin embargo, pareciera que la democracia ya no conserva la efectividad teórica y política del pasado reciente cuando con su mención podíamos ubicarnos en un espacio en el que se señalaba el «resurgimiento global de la democracia» con posterioridad a las diferentes formas opresivas del ejercicio del poder polí- tico. En este texto se revisan un conjunto de críticas actuales, para nada homogéneas, que se dirigen al corazón de la tradición democrá- tica asociada con la liberal desde mediados del Siglo XX. Y cuyos cuestionamientos a la democracia van más allá del argumento sobre la crisis de representación o la mutación del lazo representativo entre gobernantes y gobernados. Estos se preguntan cómo recobrar la singularidad de una democracia que se resiste a disolverse al interior de la tradición liberal. Este escrito analiza, fundamentalmente, la teorización de la política de Chantal Mouffe, y sobre todo el argumento sobre el desgaste de la potencialidad de la democracia y de la política democrática para significar elmundo presente. Aunque se reconoce que este problema, trabajado de una manera particular por la autora, también señala la crisis de una forma de entender lo político, entendido como marco de sentido a la vida común entre los hombres.
Since the mid of the twenty century, Political Theory and Science are using the concept of democracy to talk, describe and perform the construction of the common world of politics. But we can´t affirm that democracy has got the identical political force or the same clear meaning as in the recent past, when mentioning it, theorization of democracy were talking about the global resurgence of democracy after authoritarian or totalitarian rule. In this text there is a review of some contemporary and heterogeneous critical arguments to the core of the democratic tradition; the one which was associated with political liberalism since the end of II world war. These critical opinions are going beyond of what we can call the crisis of representative democracy or the transformation of the representative link between government and citizens. And they are asking how to recuperate the singularity of democracy. Here, democracies it is not assimilate with political liberalism, and the claim is that the former don´t need to dissolve inside the last. In this sense, this article emphasis Chantal Mouffe Political Theorization about the erosion of democracy to give sense to contemporary world, giving less importance to other dimension that is present in her analysis, about the crisis of politics.
