Abstract

Abstract The recent spread of digital platforms has produced new dynamics in the relationship between work and the city. The aim of this article is to analyze urban flows of app-based delivery workers in the São Paulo metropolis to explore empirically the conditions under which this work is inscribed in the city. We argue that the dispersion of thousands of workers throughout the metropolis, supported by an algorithmic management, can only be carried out through an incisive control of time, territory, and of the work itself, as well as through the workers’ intense vulnerability. Using data obtained by means of ethnographic incursions, interviews, and by the development of cartographic material, we seek to discuss the dynamics of (re)production of central-peripheral inequalities along with work that is spatialized under the centralized management of platform companies.

数字平台与城市流动:不稳定工作的分散与控制
摘要 近期数字平台的普及为工作与城市之间的关系带来了新的动力。本文旨在分析圣保罗大都市中基于应用程序的外卖送餐员的城市流动情况,从实证角度探讨这种工作融入城市的条件。我们认为,在算法管理的支持下,成千上万的工人分散在大都市的各个角落,只有通过对时间、地域和工作本身的精确控制,以及通过工人的高度脆弱性才能实现。利用通过人种学入侵、访谈和制图材料获得的数据,我们试图讨论在平台公司的集中管理下,中心-外围不平等的(再)生产动态,以及空间化的工作。
