“Representation in the sense of the bourgeois public sphere, as in ‘representing’ the nation or specific clients, has nothing to do with representative publicness, which inheres in the concrete existence of a lord. As long as the prince and the estates of his realm ‘are’ the land, rather then merely ‘representing’ it, they are capable of this kind of representation; they represent their authority ‘before’ the people rather than for the people” (Habermas).
What example can we use to demonstrate the idea of Representative Publicness vs Representation in a Bourgeois Public Sphere?
