Resumen:
This article focuses on a paradigmatic type of knowledge work: informatics.Specifically, it studies the processes of precarity and precariousness taking placein the Argentinian software and information services (SIS) sector. After a briefintroduction, it discusses the relevant literature, introducing the concepts ofprecarity and precariousness. Then it looks at the data relating to employment,exports and wages in the Argentinean SIS sector before moving on to addressa key element for understanding precarity: the complexities of unionisation inthe SIS sector. Finally, it analyses precariousness in the sector by attempting tocharacterise the subjectivities of these workers.
