Abstract
(en) In this dissertation, we investigate a plurality of participatory situations : from a classic instance of civic participation to the contemporary forms of empowerment in California, via a long immersion in self-management and Toyota Production System (TPS)-inspired participatory management. Whereas contemporary social sciences only question participation within the narrow limits of the public sphere, we offer to open up (ethnographic) investigations to other spaces as well as to other forms of part-taking. This allows us to take into account the burden laid on participants. We also describe and analyze capacities expected from participants and then engage in the exploration of what moves them. This leads us to calling attention to the denial of vulnerability affecting the anthropology of capability inherent to classic approaches. We also focus on recording equipments in participation tests, and show they can occasionally lead to a revision of participatory dynamics. Finally, we highlight two necessary conditions of participation : on the one hand format constraints (participation is not just about being together but also requires the specification of commonizing), and on the other hand constraints inherent to its realization (since participation always is participation to something).
