MIGUEZ, Pablo  and  LIMA, Jacob Carlos. El trabajo cognitivo en el capitalismo contemporáneo: el surgimiento y la evolución del sector de software en Argentina y Brasil*. CDC [online]. 2016, vol.33, n.93, pp.67-89. ISSN 2443-468X.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the cognitive work in the software sector in Argentina and Brazil. This sector is considered paradigmatic to understande the transformations of contemporary capitalism. The two countries have different paths that are manifested in the organization of work. Despite the historical differences in its constitution and size in both countries, this sector introduces significant changes in terms of employment, occupation, training and production that requires a rethinking the world of work and the categories of analysis used. For this discussion, we have organized the text with an initial discussion of the cognitive work, the evolution of the software industry in Argentina and Brazil with the comparison of the two countries and concluding with the challenges that it imposes in a creative work considered creative and autonomous.
