Abstrakt
W artykule wskazuję, że popularne podejście Michela Sawarda do reprezentacji politycznej prowadzi do jej wyjątkowo problematycznego ujęcia jako potencjalnie przemocowej formy relacji politycznej. Korzystając głównie z doświadczeń teoretyczek feministycznych, argumentuję, że poza analizą mechanizmu „tworzenia roszczeń” reprezentacji konieczne jest także etyczne rozważenie możliwości i konsekwencji „łamania roszczeń”. Sytuacje, w których reprezentacja polityczna jest zrywana, ilustrują, jak nawet zinstytucjonalizowane formy reprezentacji często mają korzenie w emocjonalnych potrzebach konkretnych ludzi, które politycy cynicznie wykorzystują. Aby to zobrazować, wykorzystuję i krytycznie oceniam ogólny model wyjaśniający Sawarda, analizując przykład rezygnacji Donalda Tuska z funkcji Premiera Polski, aby objąć stanowisko Przewodniczącego Rady Europejskiej.
