Abstract

RESUMO Estudos recentes têm evidenciado que a construção de mercados é um processo dinâmico gerado por múltiplos atores em posições hegemônicas e alternativas. Buscando compreender a interligação dessas posições, o estudo tem como objetivo analisar como as dinâmicas de configuração e reconfiguração de um mercado resultam num enquadramento das posições hegemônicas e alternativas em um sistema multidimensional. Por meio de uma abordagem interpretativa, toma-se o mercado cervejeiro do Rio Grande do Sul como contexto para analisar a interligação das dimensões artesanal (alternativa) e massificada (hegemônica). Identifica-se um processo constante de transbordamento e realinhamento das tensões e práticas capaz de preservar a coexistência das diferentes dimensões. Os resultados permitem teorizar sobre uma forma distinta de ligação entre as dimensões de um mercado, denominada covalente, na qual as práticas desempenhadas por atores repelem e atraem ambas as dimensões constantemente, sem que ocorra a estabilização definitiva em torno de uma única dimensão.

Highlights

  • The construction of markets has been described as a process involving different agents (Dolbec & Fischer, 2015; Scaraboto & Fischer, 2013) who can shape a new socio-material structure (Callon, 1998; Martin & Schouten, 2014)

  • Our results allow understanding the overflow of the beer market in the state of Rio Grande do Sul based on key events related to the acquisition and closure of local breweries by Ambev

  • The re-alignment of market practices did not result in the emergence of a new market, as described by Martin and Schouten (2014), or in these practices being subsumed by the market’s hegemonic side, as described by Dolbec e Fischer (2015)

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The construction of markets has been described as a process involving different agents (Dolbec & Fischer, 2015; Scaraboto & Fischer, 2013) who can shape a new socio-material structure (Callon, 1998; Martin & Schouten, 2014). By revealing ideological and institutionalization processes it is important to understand that translation is not of alternative dimensions in the market, these studies reinforce limited to a connection of actors or a network of actors; rather, markets’ multidimensional character Even if ephemerally, these it is a connection that induces different elements to coexist by dimensions are built as the result of a network of actors engaged assigning them characteristics that can establish (more or less) in practices that constantly configure and reconfigure markets stable relationships between the elements (Callon, 2016). Perspective, we conducted an immersion in this cultural field by means of two steps in order to explore the two dimensions
