| description | This article discusses the habermasian categories of public space within the parameters of participatory practices in Latin America. This work discusses the participatory planning process of Medellín from the mid 1990s, through examining the contrast between the normative behavior of deliberative democracy and certain sociological approaches to participation. The experience of Medellín, during a period of severe paramilitary hostility to popular organizations, allows us to observe the work of concrete projects put together by social actors within specific constraints. Although, as in this case, the democratic potential of this process remains incomplete, the possibilities offered by participatory public spaces can be seen not only as a means of proliferating the willingness to reflect on political processes, but also as a way of mobilizing citizens. |

This work discusses the participatory planning process of Medellín from the mid 1990s, through examining the contrast between the normative behavior of deliberative democracy and certain sociological approaches to participation. The experience of Medellín, during a period of severe paramilitary hostility to popular organizations, allows us to observe the work of concrete projects put together by social actors within specific constraints.

Este artículo discute la categoría habermasiana de espacio público en el marco de la expansión de las prácticas participativas en América Latina. A través de un contrapunto entre los lineamientos normativos de la democracia deliberativa y ciertos abordajes sociológicos de los dispositivos de participación, el trabajo describe el proceso de planeación participativa en la ciudad de Medellín desde mediados de los 90. Esta experiencia, desplegada en un contexto de hostigamiento paramilitar a las organizaciones populares, permite observar las operaciones concretas que los actores sociales efectúan en el marco de específicas interacciones públicas. Allí, aun-que el potencial democratizador del proceso queda en entredicho, se observa las potencialidades de los espacios públicos participativos para ampliar la disposición a la reflexividad y a la movilización ciudadana.
