This session draws on cultural analyses to examine diverse socio-economic phenomena. The first two papers focus on Brazil. Guimaraes & Lima argue that employers and job candidates are matched by a job intermediation system with distinctive actors, devices and regulations. They document how this job intermediation chain has changed over time since the 1960s. Duarte & Candido use Boltanski & Chiapello’s framework to theorize the dominant business model in Brazil by researching content created by Brazilian digital influencers on LinkedIn. The third paper investigates the twin cities located on the borderland between Germany and Poland. Rogowski & Frackowiak’s paper explores how border closures caused by government responses to COVID-19 have impacted economic practices, identities and the borderscape.
