\"RuzanaI am a research associate in the research group Biotechnologies, Nature and Society<\/em> at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Goethe University Frankfurt. My postdoctoral research project deals with the promissory and speculative dimensions of cryopreserved umbilical cord blood and is part of the ERC-funded project CRYOSOCIETIES.<\/em><\/p>\n

From 2016 to 2019, I was a doctoral researcher at the Integrative Research Institute on Transformations of Human-Environment Systems and the Institute for European Ethnology at Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin. In my dissertation, I ethnographically address responsibility relations and economic growth in the realm of commercial food production and distribution.<\/p>\n

I am interested in the social anthropology of science and technology, economic anthropology and the sociology of markets, theories of responsibility, and organizational studies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In this paper, we introduce the rice production systems in Burkina Faso and Uruguay and analyze them as two divergent instantiations of global-local entanglements. We trace how global-local entanglements come into being and how seemingly similar practices of entangling result in contrasting configurations. Our empirical material shows how local understandings and concerns, as well as practices of enacting them, are constantly ordered to produce a fit between globalized and situated relations. In the case of the Uruguayan rice sector, these efforts constitute a harmonized, depoliticized web of relations, which prompt for particular kinds of doings and reflections to become unquestioned and preclude others. In Burkina Faso, in turn, comparable efforts and tools do not result in a hegemonic frame of reference but rather amplify divergences and contradictions between different understandings and activities revolving around rice production.
