Abstract

Resumen ¿Cuáles han sido las funciones de la utilización política del sorteo en la República de Flo-rencia y qué tipo de relación tiene con la deliberación? ¿Por qué este mecanismo vuelve a aparecer, en las últimas décadas, en muchos dispositivos de deliberación? La invención del representante muestra una diferencia decisiva entre el uso antiguo y moderno de la selec-ción al azar. Manteniendo una función de imparcialidad, su lógico pasado de autogobierno republicano, donde cada ciudadano era gobernante y gobernado a la vez, a la democracia deliberativa, donde un mini-público representativo habla por el pueblo. A través de esta comparación histórica, se puede comprender mejor los experimentos reales de deliberación y destacar los diversos desafíos que hay que encarar. Palabras clave: selección aleatoria; republicanismo; democracia deliberativa. Abstract. Random Selection, Republican Self-Government and Deliverative Democracy What have been the functions of the political use of sortition in the Florentine Republic, with what kind of relation with deliberation? Why has this device come back in the last decades, in many deliberative devices? The invention of the representative sample makes a decisive difference between Ancient and Modern use of random selection. While keeping a function of impartiality, its logic passed from Republican self-government, where each citizen is governing and governed in turn, to deliberative democracy, where a counter-factual mini-public is given a voice. Through this historical comparison, one can better understand the actual deliberative experiments and underline several challenges they have to face.
