    En esta nota de investigaciónse presenta la categoría de la direcciónde la relación entre los representantes y los representados como una nueva forma de conceptualizar la representación política. Los modelos tradicionales de análisis empírico de la representación utilizan el estilo, una categoría de análisis incompatible con las recientes aportaciones de la teoría política y de la investigación empírica, que describen la representación como un proceso bidireccional. En la primera parte de esta nota se exponen las críticas al estiloy las ventajas de su sustitución por la dirección. En la segunda parte, se utiliza la base de datos CONREP-2012 para analizar las concepciones de los parlamentarios/as españoles acerca de la direcciónde la representación, y poner de manifiesto la utilidad de esta nueva categoría de análisis.

    This research note aims to present the directionof the relationship between representatives and the represented as a new means of conceptualizing political representation. Traditional empirical models for the analysis of representation used the category of style, which is incompatible with the most recent contributions, both of Political Theory and empirical research that describe political representation as a bidirectional process. In the first part of this note, criticisms to the style category and the advantages of its replacement by directionare presented. In the second part, the CONREP-2012 database is used to analyze Spanish parliamentarians? preferences regarding the directionof representation to highlight the appropriateness of this new conceptualization.
