Political representation is routinely understood as a form of "making present of what is absent" (cf. Pitkin 1967). Presence is typically associated with inclusion, empowerment and agency. This association disregards the fact that representation invariably also excludes and has the potential to silence and dis-empower. Papers in this panel reflect on the dark side of political representation; reflecting on representatives' capacity to inflict harm, how their bodies and performances of authenticity may serve to silence and legitimize other-minded citizens. Other papers turn their attention to the long-term effects of political exclusion on political support, and the groups that are under-represented in pledge-making.
