It is also possible to find studies that refer to them as a mere expression of globalization and fixed financial capital. However there is little research focused on explaining how capital is fixed through the analysis of local actors involved in production and funding activities. In this way, we propose to analyze the process of economic concentration which shopping centers have been subject to in Buenos Aires, most notably in the case of Inversiones y Representaciones SA (IRSA) —the main owner of shopping centers in Buenos Aires. This paper discusses the fact that the concentration experienced by this sector is the result of the local mediation pursued by IRSA as an investment manager of global funds targeting the real estate market in emergent economies. Los trabajos desde las ciencias sociales preocupados por el estudio de los centros comerciales han realizado diferentes aportes que presentan mayoritariamente una mirada crítica respecto al tipo de sociabilidad y urbanidad que generan estos espacios. También encontramos investigaciones que los presentan como expresiones de la globalización y de la fijación del capital financiero. Sin embargo, son escasos los trabajos que ubican el foco en explicar de qué modo se fija el capital, estudiando a los actores locales de la producción y el financiamiento. En este sentido, nos proponemos analizar el proceso de concentración económica que ha sufrido este sector de los shopping centers en Buenos Aires, con especial foco en el caso de la empresa Inversiones y Representaciones SA (IRSA), principal propietaria de centros comerciales de la ciudad. El argumento que presentamos aquí es que la concentración del sector se explica por la mediación local ejercida por IRSA en tanto canal de inversiones para fondos globales con interés en la inversión inmobiliaria en mercados emergentes.

At social science level, studies focused on shopping centers criticize the type of sociability and urbanity generated by these spaces. It is also possible to find studies that refer to them as a mere expression of globalization and fixed financial capital. However there is little research focused on explaining how capital is fixed through the analysis of local actors involved in production and funding activities. In this way, we propose to analyze the process of economic concentration which shopping centers have been subject to in Buenos Aires, most notably in the case of Inversiones y Representaciones SA (IRSA) —the main owner of shopping centers in Buenos Aires.
