To do so, the author tracks the contributions of the principal theorists of political representation of those times. First, she analyzes the contrast between free representation and instructed representation that was warned by Max Weber. In second place, she focuses on the way in which Carl Schmitt linked this concept with the political ideas and political principles that are personified or illustrated through representation. After that, she deals with the symbolic role that according to Rudolf Smend representation plays in the process of integration and formation of political unity. Finally, she considers the link between representation and people’s will, emphasizing the importance of the social conditions as Hermann Heller taught. Consequently, this paper provides a bird’s eye view of the theoretical discussion about political representation and exposes the different aspects that were highlighted by the mentioned theorists. Este artículo pretende clarificar el concepto de representación y delimitar la discusión que se produjo durante los tiempos de la República de Weimar. A estos fines, la autora examina las contribuciones que realizaron cuatro de los más significativos teóricos de la representación de la época. En primer lugar, atiende la contraposición entre representación libre y representación vinculada que estableció Max Weber. Seguidamente, muestra el giro que cobró con Carl Schmitt, al momento en que identifica la representación con la figuración y personificación de ideas o principios políticos. En tercer lugar, trata el rol simbólico que, de acuerdo con Rudolf Smend, la representación cumple en la integración y formación de la unidad política. Por último, se pone en consideración el vínculo de la representación política con la voluntad popular y, particularmente, con las condiciones sociales del pueblo que enfatiza Heller. A grandes rasgos, el artículo ofrece una visión panorámica de la discusión teórica sobre la representación política y de los aspectos que fueron subrayados por los teóricos del Estado de Weimar.
