Project description
Subjectivity and platform capitalism in Argentina
This subproject aims to analyse the subjective effects of working conditions in platform economies in Argentina. It will focus on what is currently known as gig economy, since it makes visible certain key elements of an ideological dimension of authoritarianism that involves the organization of labor processes and the production of subjective features. This makes it a privileged site to observe the coexistence of technology and precarization inherent to the mode of accumulation of digital capitalism, as well as forms of authoritarianism embedded in the management of subjectivities, that is, techno-political modes of acting on bodies and psyche that are a necessary condition for the functioning of platform capitalism. This project studies how in Argentina platform companies have reshaped the working conditions and workers' subjectivities with deep ideological and political consequences.
