Resumen
Este artigo discute a relação entre as abordagens deliberacionistas de democracia e a Teoria Crítica. Para tanto, apresentam-se três argumentos que sugerem uma dissociação entre os dois corpos teóricos: 1) A deliberação reforça quadros de dominação existentes; 2) A deliberação conformou-se às instituições liberais em voga; e 3) A guinada empírica dos estudos deliberativos aproximaram-nos da teoria tradicional. A partir desses argumentos, o texto ressalta a existência de um diálogo instável entre a abordagem deliberativa e o legado frankfurtiano.
Abstract:
This paper discuss the relationship between deliberative approaches of democracy and critical theory. In order to do so, it presents three arguments that suggest a deep distinction between these two theoretical traditions: 1) Deliberation reinforces existent forms of domination; 2) Deliberation has accepted the existent democratic liberal institutions; 3) The empirical turn of deliberative literature has brought it closer to traditional theory. Based on these arguments, the article highlights the existence of an instable dialogue between the deliberative approach and the Frankfurtian legacy.
