This article will consider a number of ambiguities regarding participation in the Greek city identified in the speeches of Isocrates and Demosthenes, both orators from opposite political positions, whose communications portrayed social asymmetries through segmented modalities and civic honours. The passage from a definition of democracy as opposite to oligarchic regimes to another one that assimilated it to civic regimes against personalized governments indicates to what extent participation in the Greek polis kept ambiguous relations with social asymmetries, being represented differently, although with some common links, in each orator.  Los rasgos participativos de la polis griega han sido usualmente vinculados a un potencial igualitario al interior de su cuerpo cívico. El artículo aborda cómo en los discursos de Isócrates y Demóstenes –oradores de posiciones políticas opuestas– pueden reconocerse rasgos ambiguos de la participación en la ciudad griega, que actualizaba asimetrías al interior del cuerpo ciudadano a través de modalidades segmentadas y honores cívicos. El tránsito de una definición de la democracia opuesta a las oligarquías a otra que la asemejaba a regímenes cívicos contrapuestos a gobiernos personales daría cuenta de cómo la participación en la polis guardaba relaciones ambiguas respecto a las asimetrías sociales, recibiendo representaciones diferenciadas, aunque emparentadas, en cada orador.  application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/analesHAMM/article/view/11680 10.34096/ahamm.v56.1.11680 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/analesHAMM/article/view/11680/10373 Anales de Historia Antigua, Medieval y Moderna; Vol. 56 Núm. 1 (2022) 1853-1555 1514-9927 Greek polis Demosthenes Isocrates democracy participation polis griega Demóstenes Isócrates democracia participación Ambiguities of Participation: Demosthenes and Isocrates on Democracy and Civic Honours Las ambigüedades de la participación: Demóstenes e Isócrates en torno a la democracia y los honores cívicos info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=moderna&d=11680_oai

description Participation in the Greek polis have been often related to the egalitarian potential that had its civic body. This article will consider a number of ambiguities regarding participation in the Greek city identified in the speeches of Isocrates and Demosthenes, both orators from opposite political positions, whose communications portrayed social asymmetries through segmented modalities and civic honours. The passage from a definition of democracy as opposite to oligarchic regimes to another one that assimilated it to civic regimes against personalized governments indicates to what extent participation in the Greek polis kept ambiguous relations with social asymmetries, being represented differently, although with some common links, in each orator.
