Audience Democracy 2.0: Re-Depersonalizing Politics in the Digital Age
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
This paper aims to explore the changes that representative democracy is experiencing as a result of the transformation of communication channels. In particular, it focuses on non-electoral representation in the form of movements that emerged throughout the 2010s and that were defined by a strong social media presence (e.g. Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, Yellow Vests). Despite not attempting to gain political power via elections, these movements, through online and offline activities, nonetheless managed to shape the realm of politics. The paper thus analyzes the movements' inner representative dynamics and the ways they reshape representative democracy. It engages with a critical reading of Hanna Pitkin's concept of symbolic representation and draws on Michael Saward's framework of the representative claim to reevaluate Bernard Manin's notion of "audience" democracy as today's form of representative government. The argument is that, as digital development provides citizens with less demanding modes of political participation and platforms of representative claim-making, it enhances the sphere of opinion formation and the role of non-electoral representation. This sphere entails a tendency towards a re-depersonalization of politics, thus leading towards the transformation of "audience" democracy.
