Capitalism in the Platform Age: Emerging Assemblages of Labour and Welfare in Urban Spaces
This open access book provides an overview of digital platforms that provide digital infrastructures for other businesses to operate on
Experimentar la ciudad. Teorías críticas y métodos visuales
La ciudad se ha consolidado gradualmente como una de las principales escalas geográficas de nuestro presente. Tanto como entidad espacial como social, las ciudades son resultado de la superposición e interacción de normas, flujos, infraestructuras y sujetos. Es precisamente en los espacios urbanos donde se desarrollan y entrelazan las formas de circulación y producción contemporáneas, haciendo que en ellos se territorialicen las grandes operacion…
Vida y conflicto en la ciudad aumentada
Las ciudades contemporáneas están siempre más determinadas por una superposición de virtual y real. El uso de plataformas, la enorme recogida de datos y el desarrollo de instrumentos como la nube o la inteligencia artificial no se limitan a extender las posibilidades de acción en las ciudades, sino que alteran las características y la extensión de los espacios urbanos. Al mismo tiempo se producen nuevos sujetos que persiguen una idea de empresa i…
La governance urbana del lavoro di piattaforma. Una ricognizione europea
Accanto ad un processo generale di digitalizzazione del lavoro è emerso un modello di impresa - quello delle piattaforme - che ha portato alla ribalta una tipologia nuova di attore economico. Queste aziende - il cui sviluppo va collocato all'interno di una tendenza più complessiva verso la de-strutturazione dei rapporti di lavoro di tipo subordinato, l'erosione del salario e una razionalità logistica - contribuiscono in maniera determinante oggi …
When cities meet platforms: Towards a trans-urban approach
This paper focusses on the impact that the development and spreading of digital platforms have at urban level. In particular, lean platforms are transforming cities more and more in sites of production and circulation, so to change also actors and roles engaged with urban planning and public policies. Despite we will propose an investigation on a particular service, neither the analysis of a general process shared by all platforms, in the article…
Il capitalismo nel tempo delle piattaforme. Infrastrutture digitali, nuovi spazi e soggettività algoritmiche
The article tackles the question of platform capitalism within the framework of a general understanding of the specificity of modern and contemporary capitalism. Digital platforms, which are emerging among the winners from the current pandemic crisis, facilitate processes of capital accumulation, blur the boundaries between politics and economics, and embody a new type of firm. An emphasis is placed on the infrastructural roles performed by platf…
Pandemic transition: Techno-politics and social reproduction struggles
What are the impacts this pandemic is leaving on politics? In this essay, I will argue that Covid-19 – beyond the rhetoric of exceptionalism or denialism – is unveiling some ‘structural’ features of Western capitalist-societies – on one side, the pervasiveness of digital technologies shaping more and more the public sphere; on the other side, social reproduction as contested terrain between divergent forces. The erosion of spaces for decision-mak…
Platform Battlefield
Platforms are transforming society, economy, and politics and becoming essential infrastructures of our lives. In this way, digital spaces overlap with other spatialities, urban areas in particular. This process is not peaceful but generates bottlenecks, resistances, and oppositions. In this article, we propose to combine platform studies with infrastructure studies to frame the capacity of such enterprises to build new urban postindustrial envir…
The strike has become social
The article aims first of all to retrace the evolution of some paths of social mobilization around precariousness in Italy. The basic assumption is that such condition cannot be reduced to a sociological or economic category, but rather constitutes a ground for trade union organisation and political claims. I will articulate this analysis into two historically distinct moments on the basis of the ways in which precariousness has been described an…
Logistics Struggles in the Po Valley Region: Territorial Transformations and Processes of Antagonistic Subjectivation
This article investigates the logistics of contemporary global capitalism from two primary vantage points: the grounded perspective of recent struggles in the logistics sector of northern Italy and a more general interpretation of contemporary spatial transformations. Starting with a few genealogical and theoretical vignettes, we argue that logistics plays a decisive role in contemporary processes of both the establishment of new and mobile forms…
