CALETTI, Sergio. Broken lines: A reflection on citizenship/governmet communication. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2006, n.32, pp.83-128. ISSN 1851-1716.
The so-called democracy has become an aspect taken for granted in the Argentine political setting, but the pact that makes it possible and provides sense to it has been questioned by the citizens themselves. Although the text is devoted to the Argentine case, the problem indicated is, strictly speaking, proper of contemporary politics: while the government regime we call democracy today is more spread (in the planet) and less questioned than ever before, it seems to be getting away increasingly from the old goal of effectively being the government of the people, which characterized it programmatically and politically during almost two centuries. Within this framework, two fragments of a recent research study are included here, which summarize the extent to which we have advanced on this issue. In the first one, the emphasis is on the empirical record of some aspects of this weakness while in the second one a possible conceptual production of what these records are supposed to evidence is strenghtened.
