From Autism to Queerness
This article examines the evolving politics of representation in the Netflix series Atypical (2017-2021). Through qualitative content analysis of the full series and online fan comments o X (Twitter), it explores the show’s shift from an autism-centered coming-of-age narrative to one increasingly concerned with queer visibility, a shift amplified by one of the lead actor’s offscreen coming out as nonbinary.

We present a close analysis of the interactions among riders and other human, institutional and technological actors before and after the Spanish ‘Rider Law’ came into force in 2021. The findings reveal the increasing complexity of the last-mile delivery interface, observed in the rise of a dense network of intermediary actor…

Double the Tasks, Double the Control
A vast amount of literature on social media has researched how content creators develop practices to present themselves and play the 'visibility game' (Cotter, 2019). Similarly, platformization of work has led to algorithmic control through the logic of ratings and visibility. This article studies how platforms shape the practices of workers who carry out services in domestic spaces. We conducted a qualitative content analysis of 36 profiles in c…
