Resumo: The idea that constituent power belongs to the people structures the way we think about democracy. But even though constituent power and democracy seem to be necessarily connected for democratic ruling to be legitimate, this was not always the case in history. This dissertation addresses this problem by demonstrating, first, that popular constituent power emerged in our political vocabulary long before democracy came to be the preferred form of the constitutional state. By demonstrating that constituent power is defined in contrast with its constituted counterpart, it stresses that there is also a great difference between the people\'s authority to institute a political community and its possibilities to exercise political power within the constituted order. Taking up this discussion under the light of contemporary democratic theory, this research also stresses there are two main possibilities to within the definition of popular constituent power: it either incorporates sovereignty as part of its meaning, or it rejects it altogether for its unifying effects. Generally represented by Carl Schmitt\'s and Hannah Arendt\'s theories, these positions also appear in the works of political theorists such as Antonio Negri, Andrew Arato and Andreas Kalyvas. An overview of their conceptions of constituent power then highlights, in each case, their specific demand for political participation leading to democratic constitutional processes

Mas, ainda que poder constituinte e democracia pareçam conectados para assegurar a legitimidade do governo democrático, a história dos dois conceitos não esteve sempre em sintonia. Esta tese endereça este problema demonstrando, em primeiro lugar, que o poder constituinte do povo apareceu no vocabulário político dos modernos muito antes de a democracia se tornar o modelo preferido do Estado constitucional. Ao demonstrar que poder constituinte se define a partir de seu contraponto, o poder constituído, o trabalho enfatiza que há uma enorme diferença entre a autoridade do povo para instituir uma comunidade política e as possibilidades de exercê-lo dentro da ordem constituída. Tratando desta discussão nos termos da teoria política contemporânea, esta pesquisa também destaca que existem duas possibilidades em relação à definição de poder constituinte: ou ele incorpora a ideia de soberania como parte de seu significado, ou rejeita esta última por seu efeito unificador. Apresentadas, de maneira geral, a partir das teorias de Carl Schmitt e Hannah Arendt, tais posições reaparecem nos trabalhos de teóricos políticos contemporâneos como Antonio Negri, Andrew Arato e Andreas Kalyvas. Uma visão comparada das suas concepções de poder constituinte enfatiza, em cada caso, uma demanda específica por participação política que adequada para um processo constituinte democráticoBiblioteca Digitais de Teses e Dissertações da USPOstrensky, EuniceRosa, Gabriela Rodrigues da Guia2024-06-27info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesisapplication/pdfhttps://www.teses.usp.br/teses/disponiveis/8/8131/tde-28112024-133944/reponame:Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da USPinstname:Universidade de São Paulo (USP)instacron:USPLiberar o conteúdo para acesso público.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesseng2024-11-28T15:46:02Zoai:teses.usp.br:tde-28112024-133944Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertaçõeshttp://www.teses.usp.br/PUBhttp://www.teses.usp.br/cgi-bin/mtd2br.plvirginia@if.usp.br|| atendimento@aguia.usp.br||virginia@if.usp.bropendoar:27212024-11-28T15:46:02Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da USP - Universidade de São Paulo (USP)false
