O campo de batalha das plataformas: Infraestruturas Digitais no Capitalismo 4.0

Autores

Palavras-chave:

capitalismo de plataforma, infraestruturas, tecnologias digitais, conflitos sociais

Resumo

As plataformas estão transformando a sociedade, a economia e a política e se tornando infraestruturas essenciais de nossas vidas. Dessa forma, os espaços digitais se sobrepõem a outras espacialidades, especialmente às áreas urbanas. Esse processo não é pacífico, mas gera gargalos, resistências e oposições. Neste artigo, propomos combinar estudos de plataforma com estudos de infraestrutura para enquadrar a capacidade dessas empresas de construir novos ambientes urbanos pós-industriais. Concentramo-nos nos possíveis conflitos que surgem em face da crescente plataformização e esboçamos os contornos de uma contra-política de plataformas.
