Technical system standard and unicity in Argentina's food production

The contemporary age is characterized by the constitution of a technical-scientific-informational medium over increasingly larger territories. New forms of co-operation and control are imposed due to expanding large-company labor territory divisions. In this paper, the growing standard mediation in urban economy circuits of fast-preparation foodstuffs located in the Buenos Aires metropolis is analyzed. To this end, regency transformation in circuits and the technical phenomenon as a condition of possibility for territory standardization have been studied. Lastly, we discuss implications of this process on relations between hegemonic and subordinate actors.
