This chapter offers an interdisciplinary perspective that questions the relationship of representation as seen from below, from the citizens’ point of view, in France. Based on the constructive turn of political theory in the analysis of representation, the authors offer a perspective from political sociology on the reception of representative claims. Following academic discussions about political mistrust and the blind spots of the studies focusing on political work, they suggest that understanding citizens’ relationships with their representatives primarily requires analyzing their practices, not only their discourses. The chapter highlights the extent to which the role of citizens has been overshadowed in work on political representation. Based on a re-reading of various works and on personal research, the authors propose to go beyond the debate between substantive/descriptive representation to grasp the social and political conditions of the feeling of “good” representation among citizens. They propose an intersectional approach to the analysis of the representation relationship, based on the observation of citizens’ practices.
