About the public talk

Participation is a frequently used notion, which has many different meanings. In the first part of the talk, a stronger theoretical foundation for our reflections about participation will be developed, based on an analysis of how the concept of participation is used in different academic fields. This will allow articulating the concept of participation as a contingent political-ideological notion, intimately related to power. In this theoretical approach, the dimension of minimalism and maximalism, and the differences with access and interaction will be used to support a more rigorous theoretical elaboration of participation. This theoretical elaboration on (and more restrictive definition of) participation also has methodological consequences, which will be developed in the second part of the lecture. Illustrated by small case studies, this discussion will result in a step-wise analytical model which can serve as a toolkit for the analysis of participatory practices in a wide variety of societal fields.љ
