Representative Democracy in Mill: A Response to Rousseau’s Critique of Representation
John Stuart Mill was a reader of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and his defense of representative democracy can be read as a response to the critique of political representation advanced in The Social Contract. To develop his theory of democratic representation, Mill had to refute the following theses that Rousseau presented to rule out the possibility of a representative democracy: (1) sovereignty consists only of the will; and (2) representation is alwa…
Democracy and Aesthetic Decolonization
In recent years, a growing body of scholarship has sought to understand why some political regimes are becoming less democratic. However, scant attention has been paid to the ways in which coloniality and aesthetic injustice obstruct democracy. To partially fulfill this lacuna, we engage with the works of decolonial thinkers Augusto Boal (1931–2009) and Enrique Dussel (1934–2023). Offering a comparison between Boal’s aesthetics of the oppressed (…

Populismo e democracia: Reflexões a partir de Álvaro Vieira Pinto
O artigo oferece uma genealogia da filosofia do desenvolvimento de Álvaro Vieira Pinto e argumenta que populismo e democracia podem se relacionar de maneira complementar ou antitética. Uma leitura contextualizada da obra de Vieira Pinto indica que o populismo fortalece a democracia quando combate o neocolonialismo e amplia a participação popular. O populismo, contudo, vai contra a democracia se adota uma concepção exclusivista do povo que nega o …

Using Art to Resist Epistemic Injustice
This article argues that the aesthetics of the oppressed—a series of artistic practices elaborated by Augusto Boal that comprises the theatre of the oppressed, the rainbow of desire technique, and legislative theatre—utilizes art in order to resist epistemic injustice and promote democratic freedom. By constraining people’s ability to know and explore the potentialities of their bodies and desires, epistemic injustice perpetuates oppression and b…
Aesthetic injustice
In this article, the author advances the concept of aesthetic injustice, which denotes any harm done to someone specifically in her capacity as an aesthetic being, and explores four dimensions of this new philosophical concept. First, the author appeals to the notion of colonial mentality presented by Amílcar Cabral in order to show how aesthetic injustice is experienced differently by the oppressors and the oppressed. Then, the author engages cr…
Liberdade democrática como desenvolvimento de si, resistência à opressão e à injustiça epistêmica
O artigo busca elaborar um conceito de liberdade democrática como desenvolvimento de si, resistência à opressão e à injustiça epistêmica, mediante engajamento crítico com as obras de Paulo Freire, Amílcar Cabral e Augusto Boal. No pensamento dos três autores, democracia, liberdade e desenvolvimento de si constituem uma tríade de mútua influência, de sorte que o pleno exercício de quaisquer desses itens é impossível, na ausência de qualquer um dos…
Democratic freedom as resistance against self‐hatred, epistemic injustice, and oppression in Paulo Freire's critical theory
Democracy as Compromise: An Alternative to the Agonistic vs. Epistemic Divide
The agonistic vs. epistemic dichotomy is fairly widespread in contemporary democratic theory and is endorsed by scholars as outstanding as Luis Felipe Miguel, Chantal Mouffe, and Nadia Urbinati. According to them, the idea that democratic deliberation can work as a rational exchange of arguments that aims at truth is incompatible with the recognition of conflict as a central feature of politics. In other words, the epistemic approach is bound to …
Teatro legislativo e representação democrática: A Câmara na Praça como aliança entre democracia e representação
O artigo busca contribuir para o debate na teoria política contemporânea sobre democracia e representação por meio de uma análise da Câmara na Praça, proposta elaborada por Augusto Boal na obra Teatro legislativo e praticada quando o autor foi eleito vereador. Após reconstruir a conceptualização de Nadia Urbinati da representação democrática como uma diarquia resultante da circularidade entre os juízos dos representados e as decisões dos represen…
Representation, Epistemic Democracy, and Political Parties in John Stuart Mill and José de Alencar
John Stuart Mill and José de Alencar lived at the same time and wrote about the same issues, and yet the connections between their political theories remain unexplored. Seeking to offer a comparison of both theories, this article argues that reading Mill's “Considerations on Representative Government” (1977b) vis-à-vis Alencar's “Systema representativo” (1868) brings to the fore two aspects of Mill's political theory that Mill scholars usually ov…
Socialismo democrático e conflito em J. S. Mill
Esse artigo visa reconstruir a concepção de socialismo democrático em John Stuart Mill e responder a objeção segundo a qual o socialismo milliano instituiria uma sociedade desprovida de conflito. Uma sociedade socialista permaneceria a ter conflito mesmo sem desigualdade material porque, segundo Mill, demandas por reconhecimento continuariam a provocar conflito em uma comunidade socialista
Democracy and Truth: A Contingent Defense of Epistemic Democracy
Contrary to what some critics of epistemic democracy claim, the association between democracy and truth does not necessarily make the former inhospitable to conflict, contestation, and pluralism. With the help of John Stuart Mill and William James, truth can be interpreted so as to make it compatible with a democratic politics that appreciates conflict and dissent. In some circumstances, truth claims are politically relevant and should become the…
Democracia e verdade: Uma Defesa Contingente Da Democracia Epistêmica
Este artigo propõe uma defesa contingente da concepção epistêmica da democracia a partir de uma reconstrução do conceito de verdade elaborado por John Stuart Mill e William James. Ao contrário do que os detratores da democracia epistêmica afirmam, a aproximação entre verdade e democracia não necessariamente torna esta inóspita ao conflito e ao pluralismo. A verdade pode ser reinterpretada, de modo a tornar-se compatível com uma política democráti…
