Abstract: This essay constitutes a theoretical exercise with the aim to understand some characteristics of a mediatic and socio-cultural phenomenon that can promote and influence the constitution and dissemination of the person’s public identity in the contemporary western democratic societies. For this, based on conceptual references of Sociology, Political Science and Philosophy, and with the perspective of these western societies where representative democracy is ruling, the analyzes seeks to show how certain conditions are established and interrelated in these societies so this phenomenon which I propose to call "political phantasmagory" may occur — and possible variations of its occurrence. Keywords: Media, Symbolic Interactionism, Politics, Representation, Phantasmagory.
