  abstract = {{T}he current conception of political participation in governmental institutions is deeply marked by the notions of deliberation and precaution. {T}his normative conception of participatory politics neglects, backgrounds or disqualifies other participatory practices, in so far as they are not connected to deliberation and precaution. {H}owever, participation has not always been defined in such a restricted way: the current conception of participation is a product of the 1980s and 1990s. {I}n this paper, the meaning ascribed to the notion of participation in the 1970s in {F}rance is explored through the study of discourses produced in three fields: the {S}cience {P}olicy {D}ivision of the {OECD}, the {F}rench radical science movement, and the emerging {STS} academic field. {A}s is shown, some of the bases of the current notion of participation originate in the 1970s. {N}evertheless, it is argued that in these years, the notion of participation has more to do with experimentation than with deliberation and precaution. {T}herefore, the conception of participation in the 1970s differs greatly from the current one. {M}ethodologically, this paper combines tools offered by the social history of science and the {F}rench school of discourse analysis.},
