| Summary: | The consulting procedures that have been growing for a few years in the sciences and technologies fields are usually declared as being simple tools of conjuring from the rulers in order to justify decisions already taken. However, such a point of view doesn't show the character often ambivalent of this type of procedures, which can canalise the controversy, but can also increase the "debatabilily" and open the space of possible choices. Like this, starting from the public hearings organised in 1990 by the French Parliament about the nuclear wastes storage, this article shows, on the one hand, the way a consultation purview can contribute to enclose a controversy, and on the other hand acts like opening the "black box" of some technological decisions eventhough considered as irreversible. |
