Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Wisconsin - Madison, 2003.

Following pragmatists and other theorists of creative democracy, in this dissertation I argue that democracy requires repeatedly reinvigorating our sense of collective authorship of the social world by increasing our consciousness of habitual practices and their often unintended consequences. My study involves activist participant observation in three organizational contexts that support citizen participation in urban planning and local government decision making in Madison, Wisconsin, USA: City-run neighborhood planning committees; non-profit coalitions of neighborhood associations called planning councils; and broad-based community organizing efforts of a local Industrial Areas Foundation affiliate.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Following pragmatists and other theorists of creative democracy, in this dissertation I argue that democracy requires repeatedly reinvigorating our sense of collective authorship of the social world by increasing our consciousness of habitual practices and their often unintended consequences. My study involves activist participant observation in three organizational contexts that support citizen participation in urban planning and local government decision making in Madison, Wisconsin, USA: City-run neighborhood planning committees; non-profit coalitions of neighborhood associations called planning councils; and broad-based community organizing efforts of a local Industrial Areas Foundation affiliate.
520 $a The practice of urban planning is a potentially democratic intervention, requiring us to make conscious usually taken-for-granted practices of laissez-faire land use and development. However, further interventions are necessary to make planning truly a creative democratic tool. Participatory planning practice makes conscious the planning process itself, by educating citizens about what planning is, involving them in it, and attending to the deliberative process with skilled facilitation. Empowering participatory planning goes further, promoting consciousness of the meeting facilitation process itself and of the creation and use of relational networks that provide collective power to implement plans. These more advanced interventions can in turn be enhanced by emotion work practices that make conscious and enable changes in individual and collective patterns of emotional response. Such techniques have their limits, however, and the Industrial Areas Foundation model of organizing for citizen power, which is pragmatist in origin and execution, can further deepen creative democratic practice. Over time these creative democratic interventions build on each other, creating a cycle of deepening democratic reform that allows government intervention in civil society to have liberatory rather than co-optative consequences.
520 $a This study is a critical pragmatist sociological intervention. Its pragmatic case method uses sociological methods and theories to help solve practical problems, and at the same time uses insights from this practical engagement to contribute to sociological knowledge. Here as well, increasing sociological practitioners' consciousness of their actions and the reflexive relationship between sociology and society is necessary to prevent sociological knowledge from contributing to more successful domination and social control rather than to deepening democracy.
