Abstract
This article discusses a new theoretical perspective for the study of markets, Michel Callon's sociology of market agencements. It highlights the main elements of this approach which, by criticizing the studies of markets as interactions, proposes to think about them as market agencements, understood as a set of cadrages, which comprise operations that precede and go beyond the encounter between sellers and buyers. Additionally, I show that some original aspects of this approach can be found in other perspectives of the economic sociology and question some of Callon's thesis about the possibilities of intervention in the functioning of markets.
