| Titel: | Valuing Organics: Labels, People and the Materiality of Information Infrastructure |
| Beschreibung: | Certification schemes and alternative provisioning networks have often been studied separately or with different analytical concepts. Ethnographic research in Sichuan Province, China, shows how a cooperative employed both labels and people to inform consumers about the ecological quality and trustworthiness of its agri-food, thereby obtaining price premiums. Using information infrastructure as the common analytical vocabulary for exploring both certification and performances of face-to-face relations unearths unexpected commonalities amidst presumed otherness. The infrastructure lens draws attention to the importance of scientific planning and materiality: the force of specific features of different crops and modes of production. Information infrastructures – whether labels or people – depend on, and affect, the materiality of whatever they are supposed to be informing about. They not simply convey information, but shape value as they interact with and intervene in what is produced. |
