RESUMO

Resumo Diversos estudos realizados recentemente mostram que está ocorrendo uma crise de representação política em nível internacional. O objetivo deste estudo é conhecer as representações sociais da democracia exprimidas nas narrativas de adolescentes (N=32) argentinos de 16 a 18 anos. Utilizou-se uma entrevista semiestruturada baseada nas diretrizes do método clínico piagetiano. Os resultados mostram que os adolescentes consideram a democracia como um mecanismo fundamental para o funcionamento do regime democrático representativo e princípios inerentes a essa forma de governo. Conclui-se que essas formas de representar a democracia invisibilizariam a possibilidade de pensá-la como um sistema de governo, isto é, uma instituição política ampla.Abstract Various studies have recently revealed that a political representation crisis is taking place worldwide. The aim of this study is understand the social representations of democracy showed in the narratives of Argentine adolescents (N=32) aged between 16 and 18 years. A semi-structured interview was used, which was based on Piaget’s clinical method. The results obtained show that adolescents represent democracy as a fundamental mechanism for the operation of the representative democratic regime and the inherent principles of this form of government. It is concluded that these ways of representing democracy seem to overshadow the possibility of regarding it as a system of government, that is, a broad political institution.
