| description | This work addresses the social dynamics involved in the historically recent process of establishing a globalized product market on the Brazil/Uruguay border, as a result of the creation, in 2010, of so called free shops in some of the cities in that region. Although trade - legal and illegal - is part of the flows that cross the dividing line between the two countries since their formation, the recent creation of tax free zones has led to the establishment of new circuits called “shopping tourism”. In addition to the legal and political aspects that instituted them, the establishment of these new circuits is based on the action of diverse agents that are involved in the logistics of transportation and lodging; in the promotion of shops and products; in the guidance and inspection of travelers/ consumers in regards to customs rules, etc. The ethnography of these dynamics allows us to identify actors and processes implicated in the establishment of the frontier as a market. |

Esse trabalho aborda as dinâmicas sociais envolvidas no processo historicamente recente de constituição de um mercado de produtos globalizados na fronteira Brasil/Uruguai a partir da criação, em 2010, dos chamados free shops em algumas das cidades daquela região. Embora o comércio – legal e ilegal - faça parte dos fluxos que cruzam a linha divisória entre os dois países desde a sua formação, a recente criação das zonas de isenção fiscal propiciou o estabelecimento de novos circuitos do chamado turismo de compras. Além dos aspectos políticos-legais que os instituíram, o estabelecimento desses novos circuitos se baseia na atuação de uma grande diversidade de agentes que estão implicados na logística de transporte e hospedagem, na divulgação dos estabelecimentos comerciais e dos produtos, na orientação e fiscalização dos viajantes/consumidores em relação às regras aduaneiras, etc. A etnografia dessas dinâmicas nos permite identificar atores e processos envolvidos na construção da fronteira nacional como um mercado. 2018-02-15 2022-03-18T18:33:31Z 2022-03-18T18:33:31Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/10258 10.52780/res.10258 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63278 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/10258/7135 Copyright (c) 2018 Estudos de Sociologia application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 22 n. 43 (2017): Dossiê: Estado, sociedade e mercado 1982-4718 1414-0144 |
