- Abstract
- (en) The ambivalence of urban democracy seen through Dewey’s eyes – This article tackles the issue of participation from the standpoints of the competences and powers that are at play and assigned to the various parties engaged in a participatory undertaking as the action itself unfolds. It is based on the ethnography of a participatory scheme, the Estates-General of Brussels, which were conducted by the various players of Brussels’s civil society from September 2008 to May 2009. The participants in this extended town meeting consisted of academics, associations, and ordinary citizens. Using the writings of John Dewey and pragmatic approaches, the ambivalence of participatory schemes that, while trying to foster new civic competences, also limit the people’s empowerment will be described.
