Presentacin

El presente seminario se propone explorar dos familias de problemas relacionadas con la teora
de la democracia. La primera de ellas se refiere a cmo debe una democracia lidiar con
violaciones de derechos humanos cometidas en el pasado. En particular, se desea analizar qu
responsabilidad les cabe a diversos actores institucionales, especialmente a los jueces, por su
participacin en un orden institucional criminal. A los trabajos ya clsicos en la materia, se han
aadido en la ltima dcada importantes contribuciones que brindan un nuevo marco terico
para pensar sobre estos problemas. La influyente obra Complicity de Christofer Kutz fue seguida
por numerosos artculos y libros que elaboran criterios de asignacin de responsabilidad
sumamente novedosos. La segunda familia de problemas que el seminario aborda explora
algunos desarrollos recientes en el campo de la teora de la democracia, como su relacin con la
justicia distributiva, la igualdad, la prctica constitucional y el poder. Luego de discutir aportes
recientes de importantes autores como Thomas Christiano y Philip Pettit, se analizan una serie de
perspectivas crticas que obligan a revisar varios aspectos de la nocin tradicional de democracia.
Objetivos

El principal objetivo del seminario es discutir una serie de problemas relacionados con la teora
de la democracia y la responsabilidad moral por violaciones derechos de derechos humanos. Se
espera asimismo brindar a los/as participantes un entrenamiento intensivo en la prctica
argumentacin filosfica.
