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
Tendencias urbanas: Habitar Futuros Automáticos
Para responder a la pregunta "¿Cuál es el futuro de nuestras ciudades?" debemos buscar respuestas fuera de los perímetros institucionales. En este intervención exploro la intersección entre el capitalismo de plataforma y el urbanismo, y analizo el impacto de las plataformas digitales y las grandes empresas tecnológicas en el diseño, la gobernanza y el uso del espacio urbano. Trabajaré en la yuxtaposición entre dos corrientes principales de litera…
Mega Events, Urban Transformations and Social Citizenship: A Multi-Disciplinary Analysis for An Epistemological Foresight
"This book provides theoretical and empirical perspectives on the urban impact of mega-events globally. It takes mega-events as an instance to analyse urban transformations and their effects on citizenship. With contributions from leading scholars in the field, the book presents innovative and multidimensional analyses of mega-events with an international selection of case studies. The work provides a grounded theorisation of mega-events in the f…
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…
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…
Introduction: The Global Riot
The past few years have seen a number of “riots” – in Mexico City, Hong Kong, Chile, Ecuador, the United States, Argentina, France, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere. What do they have in common with one another and with other popular upheavals in history? How do they differ? What do they represent as sites of protest, resistance and rebellion? This forum explores the meaning of such riots through the meaning of the term itself, focusing mainly b…
Cosa si muove sotto lo skyline digitale? Storia e politica della smart city
Rural welfare is at the center of multiple sociological views between policy sociology and public sociology. Starting from a case study in the Marche region, this work analyzes the contribution of sociology in the construction of instrumental knowledge and proposes an analysis of the relative reflective knowledge on rural welfare. Sociology is recognized in its role as facilitator of socio-territorial innovation processes by combining professiona…
Legacy of Mega Events: Urban Transformations and Citizenship in Rio de Janeiro
La periferia come mosaico smarginato e debordante (Petrillo A. La periferia nuova. Diseguaglianza, spazi, città. Milano: (FrancoAngeli, 2018)
Circulating Violence and Value
In recent years, a new critical scholarship and movement organi-zation that is adopting the lens of logistics has emerged, marked by a profound interdisciplinarity. Powerful voices from a wide spectrum of radical theoretical and political commitments are delineating critical logistics as a field of vitality. This dialogue with Deborah Cowen sums up and expands some of the main interpretative lines of research and action in logistics by insisting …
Logistics Genealogies
This conversation on logistics seeks to explore the persistence of origins in contemporary logistical capitalism. We discuss the ongoing importance of the founding of modern logistics in the Atlantic slave trade. We suggest that contemporary logistical capitalism not only bears the mark of these origins but also continues to transport its intrinsic antiblack racism and coloniality into new territories and social forms. In the conversation, we sug…
Dissolving Bologna: Tensions Between Citizenship and the Logistics City
The contemporary crisis of the nation-State’s paradigms lead to the resurgence of the city as a political space of action. However, the very concept of the city itself is being profoundly reshaped by new global processes. During the last years a cycle of struggles in Northern Italy’s logistics sector, with an epicentre in Bologna, has revealed many aspects of this crisis of the traditional city. The series of strikes involving the main firms char…
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…
La città dopo la città? (D. Harvey, Città ribelli, il Saggiatore, 2013)
Il libro di David Harvey "Rebel Cities" viene presentato nel contesto della produzione complessiva dell'autore e rispetto al dibattito contemporaneo sulla città. Vengono quindi mostrate continuità e rotture rispetto a tali ambiti teorici e infine viene proposta una critica ad alcune tesi di Harvey
