Sobre constitucionalismo e democracia: estética, política e uma crítica ao filme "V de vingança"

Abstract

This paper aims at discussing the tensions between aesthetics and politics and their possible contributions to the understanding of the relationship between Constitutionalism and democracy. To do so, it assumes the theoretical perspective of the contemporary French philosopher Jacques Rancière and focuses on the analysis of the movie “V for Vendetta”. The conclusion is that this movie doesn´t represent an image of a legitimate emancipatory project, because it doesn’t express an aesthetics compatible with the democratic Constitutionalism.
