| description | This article conceives ‘proximity’ as an emerging form of legitimacy, and the so-called ‘participatory mechanisms’ as their institutional crystallization. In the first part, the author proposes a characterization of the proximity principle; then, based on field work in the Argentine municipalities of Morón, Rosario and the City of Buenos Aires, demonstrates how the participatory mechanism, and especially the Participatory Budget, bring into play transformations in political legitimacy. The article demonstrates how the Participatory Budget institutionalizes a politics of the singularity of experience: in addition to the legitimacy of political party, collective-redistributive and technical or expert knowledge, there operates the legitimacy of the neighbor’s concrete problems, the micro-territory, and knowledge based on daily experience. Finally and based on this points, the author raises the question of contradiction, complementarity and interiority between representation and participation. |

This article conceives ‘proximity’ as an emerging form of legitimacy, and the so-called ‘participatory mechanisms’ as their institutional crystallization. In the first part, the author proposes a characterization of the proximity principle; then, based on field work in the Argentine municipalities of Morón, Rosario and the City of Buenos Aires, demonstrates how the participatory mechanism, and especially the Participatory Budget, bring into play transformations in political legitimacy. The article demonstrates how the Participatory Budget institutionalizes a politics of the singularity of experience: in addition to the legitimacy of political party, collective-redistributive and technical or expert knowledge, there operates the legitimacy of the neighbor’s concrete problems, the micro-territory, and knowledge based on daily experience. Finally and based on this points, the author raises the question of contradiction, complementarity and interiority between representation and participation. El presente trabajo concibe a la ‘proximidad’ como forma emergente de legitimidad y a los llamados ‘dispositivos participativos’ como su cristalización institucional. En la primera parte propone una caracterización del principio de proximidad; luego, partiendo de un trabajo de campo realizado en los municipios argentinos de Morón, Rosario y Ciudad de Buenos Aires, muestra cómo los dispositivos participativos y en particular el Presupuesto Participativo, ponen en escena las transformaciones de la legitimidad política. Se muestra cómo el Presupuesto Participativo institucionaliza una política de la singularidad de la experiencia: frente a la legitimidad de la representación político-partidaria, de lo colectivo-redistributivo y del saber técnico o experto, operan la legitimidad de los problemas concretos del vecino, del micro-territorio y del saber de la experiencia cotidiana. Finalmente y a partir de lo anterior, se plantea la cuestión de la contradicción, complementariedad o interioridad entre representación y participación.
