| Sumario: | This article discusses the preponderance of the idea and of the exercise of popular sovereignty in XXI century’s Peruvian politics. The immediate context is marked by the crisis of representative democracy inaugurated in 1980 and reinstituted –in neoliberal fashion– in 2000. The main argument is that a wide array of expressions of popular sovereignty emerges to express, from the public and informal space of the street, an accumulation of social demands neglected by the State and inadequately channeled by the system of political representation. The plurality of politicized social subjects, whose diversity expresses the pluricultural and unequal character of the national society, reveals the breadth of the politicization of society but also its challenges and limits for the articulation of larger political projects. |
