Abstract: Brazil has been facing a political crisis, on which citizens do not see themselves represented by traditional political institutions, presenting high levels of distrust and apathy regarding politics. It results on low participation, once Brazilians do not perceive it as an effective mechanism to solve social problems. Thus, this paper aims to conduct a study on the crisis of political representation in Brazil, in an exploratory approach, based on the analysis of elements of the political culture and the patterns of participation in the country. To do so, we will use quantitative data from the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) of 2012, 2014 and 2016, in order to observe the changes and continuities in the political culture and the participation of Brazilians, thus being able to understand how the crisis of political representation in the country has been taking shape.
