Résumé
L’intérêt continu pour les perspectives sur les politiques économiques et sociales inspirées par l’économie politique est une tentative visant à comprendre les décideurs en tant qu’êtres humains influencés par des valeurs, des votes et d’autres facteurs que l’on pensait autrefois exogènes aux choix politiques. Cependant, il y a toujours peu de théorisation concernant ceux qui sont de l’autre côté de l’équation politique. Cet article cherche à mieux comprendre comment les gens ordinaires s’impliquent dans les politiques d’une façon très personnelle. Je présente un modèle de participation ancré dans la recherche empirique avec les membres d’un projet de réduction de la pauvreté au Ghana et un cadre conceptuel informé par une approche interprétative ou de construction du sens (sense-making) de l’analyse des politiques. Le modèle est fondé sur trois principes : la subjectivité, la temporalité et la situationnalité (situatedness). Premièrement, les êtres humains font des interprétations subjectives des politiques ancrées dans leurs histories de vie ; deuxièmement, la temporalité est un aspect inhérent de la façon dont les individus organisent cognitivement leur vie ; et troisièmement, les gens vivent la politique comme un des nombreux contextes qui se chevauchent, dans lesquels ils sont situés.
