Public Good Superstars
Many field public goods are provided by a small number of contributors: the ‘superstars’ of their respective communities.

Wikipedia editors are quite prosocial on average, and superstars even more so. But while reciprocal a…
Making sense of platform-mediated residences in tourist destinations. A semiotic analysis of the controversy around home sharing in Barcelona
In 2021, the city of Barcelona made the controversial decision to prohibit short-term rentals of private rooms to tourists. The ban renewed the heated debate around the uses and functions of private property in the context of the contemporary tourist city, where the market of tourist accommodation has been significantly impacted by players such as Airbnb.

The gender of the platform economy
The COVID-19 crisis has accelerated the expansion of the platform economy (PE), which promotes working from distributed places mediated by digital platforms, and is disrupting work and life organisation.

This special issue aims at contributing to cover this gap, and address the sta…
Gender approaches in the study of the digital economy
The data and debates around the negative impact of online work for women’s work-life balance during the digital acceleration generated by the COVID-19 crisis have lent greater relevance to the study of gender and the digital economy. This paper sheds light on this complex relationship by systematically studying the research on gender in the digital economy over the last 25 years. The methodology used is a systematic literature review (SLR) of sci…

A Framework for Assessing Democratic Qualities in Collaborative Economy Platforms
The term “collaborative economy” or “collaborative economy platforms” refers to exchange, sharing, and collaboration in the consumption and production of capital and labor among distributed groups, supported by a digital platform. Collaborative economies’ use is growing rapidly and exponentially, creating high expectations of sustainability and their potential to contribute to the democratization of the economy. However, collaborative economy pla…

The Free Culture and 15M Movements in Spain
This profile discusses the organization, goals and practices of the Spanish 15M movement. I argue that it developed as a complex, multi-layered ecosystem, mobilizing a new generation of citizens through the convergence of struggles over housing and the Free Culture and Digital Commons Movement (FCM), creating a common framework for action through social networks. Primarily in and through the actions in public squares, the 15M movement also constr…
