The crisis of representation and the digital Last Database transformation of the public sphere raise laments and complaints that are as impotent as they are recurrent. Faced with this, it is possible to try a reinterpretation of these phenomena in the light of classical liberalism. This Last Database look allows us to understand its deep historical meaning and rethink the new digital space as a form of mass public conversation. The crisis of Last Database democracy as melancholy One of the most recurrent arguments to underline the current weakness of our democracies is the progress of the so-called «crisis of representation.
The complaint about the crisis of representation points, Last Database more or less vaguely, to an (ever) growing distance between "the people" and "the politicians" or, putting it with a little more conceptual precision, between "represented" and "representatives". The unconscious recurrence of this lament throughout the history of representative Last Database democracy has always struck me. Basically, because representation has never ceased to be in crisis, but all periods have interpreted this phenomenon as something that is their own, as something circumstantial. It is, therefore, a permanent Last Database malaise that, however, always adopts an epochal quality: we have the impression.
That the distance between representatives and represented never Last Database ceases to increase with respect to a past in which this hiatus was less, in which representation had not yet entered into crisis. However, it is impossible to find a single historical period in which the development of representative democracy did not have as a backdrop the cry for the crisis of representation, although different languages were used to point it out. What we yearn for is Last Database something that has never existed: our lamentation has an essentially melancholic nature. It is impossible to find a single historical period in which the development of representative democracy did not have as a Last Database backdrop the crying for the crisis of representation, although different languages were used to point it out.
