DUAREZ MENDOZA, Jorge Luis. The drift of political representation in Peru. The electoral victory of Pedro Castillo and the issue of political representativeness. Discursos del sur [online]. 2022, n.10, pp.9-30.  Epub Dec 31, 2022. ISSN 2617-2283.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/dds.n10.24404.

This paper proposes a study of the transformations that political representation has been experiencing in Peru from the study of the electoral victory of President Pedro Castillo in 2021. We argue that such electoral victory would show the importance in Peru of representativeness as a political tie, based on identification by sociological similarity, in a context of mistrust and crisis of political representation. This preponderance would show the limits of representative politics in Peru. The analysis is based on an interpretation of the meanings that configured the relationship between Pedro Castillo and his voters during the first electoral round of the 2021 general elections.

Keywords : political representation; representativeness; identification; Pedro Castillo; general elections 2021.
