Seminario “Objetos epistémicos laterales: interrogando etnografías del mundo económico”, 13 de enero UDP

January 9, 2017 – 11:18 pm

La Escuela de Sociología junto al Magíster en Métodos para la Investigación Social UDP y COES, invitan al Seminario “Objetos epistémicos laterales: interrogando etnografías del mundo económico”.

En el marco de los recientes debates teóricos en la sociología y antropología sobre el papel de los dispositivos en la producción de la economía, este seminario examinará el papel de los ‘objetos epistémicos laterales’. Más allá de los objetos económicos habitualmente examinadas como mercados, competencia, dinero o finanzas, los ‘objetos epistémicos laterales’ son entidades que juegan un papel crítico, pero relativamente humilde, en la producción de la economía, como Índices, bases de datos, noticias y figuras. Este seminario, financiado por Fondecyt Culturas de Evaluación en el Mundo Económico y COES, busca por un lado, explorar los bordes teórico-conceptuales de los ‘objetos epistémicos laterales’. Por otro, busca problematizar las posibilidades y límites de los estudios etnográficos para el estudio de la vida económica. El seminario se realizará el viernes 13 de enero, desde las 15:00 hasta las 18:00 horas, en la Sala Decanato de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales e Historia UDP, ubicada en Ejército 333, Santiago Centro.

Presentan:

Gustavo Onto (PhD. Núcleo de Pesquisas em Cultura e Economia (NuCEC), Museu Nacional, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro): “Competition through papers: artifacts of visualization in antitrust policy”

Tomás Undurraga (COES, Universidad Diego Portales): “Producción de conocimiento en el periodismo económico: mediación, traducción y autoría en Brasil”

Tomás Ariztía (Director del Magíster en Métodos para la Investigación Social UDP): “Objetos epistémicos laterales y la producción de la economía”. Continue reading →

Workshop Report: “Social Studies of the economy in Latin America-UCL”

July 14, 2016 – 1:40 pm

On July 1st, 2016 the workshop ‘Social Studies of the Economy in Latin America’ took place at the Science and Technology Studies Department, University College London. The meeting convened a number of outstanding academics, including several contributors to this blog. Because the topics discussed are of central concern to this group, we are taking the opportunity to share some impressions.

The workshop aimed to discuss leading research that offers a close-up examination of economic life. In particular, it was oriented to ethnographic research that sheds light on the multiple ways in which the economy, culture and technology intersect, and in which the economy as an object is constituted and performed. Elaborating on previous research into the world of economic policy-making and expertise, the media’s role in public economic discussion, the nature of economic calculation and its material devices, and the variety of economic knowledges, the workshop focused on the social studies of the economy in Latin America. At least three common threads emerged from the discussion.

I.

First, Mariana Heredia, Federico Neiburg and Ana Gross’ papers examined disputes concerning consumer price indexes, the representations of inflation, and, more broadly, the way in which public numbers – their construction, treatment, publication, etc. – affects the economy. A second common thread between the papers was the attention paid to economic knowledge and economic practices. Continue reading →

Workshop: Social Studies of the Economy in Latin America, UCL July 1

June 13, 2016 – 8:03 pm

[El 1 de Julio se llevará a cabo el workshop: “Social Studies of the Economy in Latin America” en UCL-Londres. Un excelente programa lleno de contribuidores de este blog]  

In recent years there has been a renewed interest in research offering a close-up examination of economic life. In particular, ethnographic research has increasingly shed light on the multiple ways in which economy, culture and technology intersect, and in which the economy as an object is constituted and performed. Fertile inquiry has been conducted into the world of economic policy-making and expertise, the media’s role in the public economic discussion, the configuration of markets and economic subjects, the nature of economic calculation and its material devices, and the variety of economic knowledges, among other topics. This workshop will focus on the social studies of the economy in Latin America. It aspires to bring together a plurality of perspectives on the social nature of the economy in the region, and to discuss the advantages, limitations and challenges of the social studies of the economy for understanding Latin America’s political economy.

When: Friday 1st, July 2016. Where: Department of Science and Technology Studies, UCL. Continue reading →

El problema de la competición

July 15, 2014 – 6:43 pm

Los estudios sociales de mercados se han desarrollado históricamente en torno a profundas divisiones políticas y conceptuales. ¿Qué es lo que perdemos con dicha polarización? ¿Existen, acaso, alternativas teóricas a la oposición pro/anti mercados? En este ensayo no pretendo resolver esta tensión. Por el contrario, mi objetivo es meramente ilustrativo, cuestionando algunos de los problemas que surgen con relación a la polarización de los discursos actuales sobre el papel de los mercados en la organización de sociedades modernas. En particular, en este breve texto me referiré a un concepto que es central a la comprensión de la política de los mercados modernos y que es parte integral de la tensión política sobre el estado de los mercados: la idea de competición.
