Las reuniones de vecinos son encuentros organizados por el área de Participación Ciudadana del Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires en los cuales el jefe de Gobierno porteño acude a un barrio para dialogar con los vecinos. En estos eventos se ponen en juego formas específicas de producir la participación y se define a los vecinos como comunidad de referencia para las políticas de gobierno. Así, analizaré la participación promovida por el gobierno del PRO en CABA entendiendo las reuniones de vecinos como procedimientos por los que se realiza una “regulación moral” que normaliza formas específicas de gobierno, participación y ciudadanía. A su vez, retomaré aspectos de la construcción de la identidad partidaria del PRO. Para la realización de este artículo desarrollé trabajo de campo etnográfico en los eventos de participación de una comuna porteña, entre marzo de 2016 y julio de 2017, y entrevistas a funcionarios. As “Reuniões de vizinhos” são eventos organizados pela área de Participação Cidadã do Governo da Cidade de Buenos Aires, nas quais o Chefe de Governo visita os diferentes bairros da Cidade para falar com seus habitantes. Nesses eventos o governo movimenta formas específicas de produzir a participação, e define aos vizinhos como uma comunidade de referência para as políticas governamentais. Assim, vamos analisar a participação promovida pelo governo do PRO em Buenos Aires entendendo as Reuniões de Vizinhos como procedimentos nos quais é feita uma “regulação moral” que normaliza certas formas de governo, participação e cidadania. Ainda, vamos considerar as características da construção da identidade do partido PRO. Para a realização desse artigo desenvolvemos um trabalho de campo etnográfico nos eventos de participação de um distrito de Buenos Aires entre março de 2016 y julho de 2017, assim como entrevistas com funcionários.

“Neighbors’ meetings” are events organized by the Buenos Aires City Government (GCBA) during which the mayor talks to local residents in a specific neighborhood. Particular ways of producing ‘participation’ take place during these events, and “neighbors” are defined as a community of reference that will orientate governmental policies, both through discursive and non-discursive practices. This paper thus analyzes “Neighbors’ meetings” in the city of Buenos Aires in order to understand the meanings of ‘participation’, as fostered by GCBA, and how it works as a “moral regulation” device. In addition, the article seeks to clarify how the political identity of the ruling PRO party permeates it’s participatory initiatives. As a consequence, we will also refer to other participatory policies by the GCBA.
