Resumo: The article presents results of a study about citizen participation in public safety policies in the municipality of La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The work focuses on the analysis of the participation practices observed in Community Safety Forums and on the meaning that the forum members attribute to these forums. The study utilized qualitative data collection and analysis techniques, such as participant observation, interviews with key informants and interviews with Forum members. One important conclusion is that the participation does not take advantage of all the public policy possibilities, and that the forums thus express a form of “limited citizenship”. An example of this is the self-identification of the forum members as ‘neighbors’, a category that can be seen as moral and depoliticized. Finally, it is hoped that the article can support empiric research and the debate about the political meaning of participation of civil society in public policies.

El trabajo se centra en el análisis de las prácticas de participación observadas em los foros vecinales de seguridad y en la significación que los foristas le asignan a las mismas. Cabe aclarar que para el desarrollo de la investigación se recurrió a técnicas cualitativas de recolección y análisis de datos, como la observación participante, entrevistas a informantes clave y entrevistas a foristas. Una conclusión importante a la que se arriba es que la participación no aprovecha todas lãs posibilidades de la política pública, en tanto en los foros se expresa una ’ciudadanía limitada’. Un ejemplo de ello es la autoidentificación de los foristas como ‘vecinos’, una categoría más bien despolitizada y moral. Finalmente, se espera que el artículo pueda convertirse em un aporte, desde un estudio empírico, al debate sobre la significación política de la participación de la sociedad civil en políticas públicas.O artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa sobre a participação cidadã em políticas de segurança, desenvolvida no município de La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina. O trabalho concentra-se na análise das práticas de participação observadas nos foros vecinales de seguridad e na significação dada pelos integrantes dos fóruns a estas práticas. Cabe esclarecer que, para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, recorreu-se a técnicas qualitativas de coleta e análise de dados, tais como a observação participante, entrevistas a informantes-chave e entrevistas a integrantes dos fóruns. Uma conclusão importante desta pesquisa refere-se à participação não valer-se de todas as possibilidades da política pública, de modo que expressa nos fóruns uma ‘cidadania limitada’. Um exemplo disso é a auto-identificação dos integrantes dos fóruns como ‘vizinhos’, uma categoria, por assim dizer, despolitizada e moral. Finalmente, espera-se que o artigo possa representar uma contribuição, como estudo empírico, ao debate sobre a significação política da participação a sociedade civil nas políticas públicas.Revista KatálysisRevista KatálysisRevista Katálysis2007-05-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/article/view/S1414-4980200700020000610.1590/S1414-49802007000200006Revista Katálysis; Vol. 10 No. 2 (2007): Democracia e participação; 187-196Revista Katálysis; Vol. 10 Núm. 2 (2007): Democracia e participação; 187-196Revista Katálysis; v. 10 n. 2 (2007): Democracia e participação; 187-1961982-02591414-4980reponame:Revista Katálysis (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/article/view/S1414-49802007000200006/3868Copyright (c) 2020 Julio Sarmiento, Claudia Tello, Ramiro Segurainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSarmiento, JulioTello, ClaudiaSegura, Ramiro2020-01-28T10:06:16Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/690Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/oairevistakatalysis@gmail.com || kataly@cse.ufsc.br || revistakatalysis@hotmail.com1982-02591414-4980opendoar:2020-01-28T10:06:16Revista Katálysis (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
