| Summary: | Political rituals, like the sovereign acclamation described in Rousseau's social contract, exhibit a logic of representation that seem to oscillate between presence and absence, and enact a problematic identification of the people as a multitude of individuals and as a whole. This article explores this logic of rituals by comparing problems of political representation in Rousseau and Agamben with the highest principle of Aristotle's philosophy. It thus elucidates the problem of representation in rituals of political power. |
