Entregadores, motoristas, anotadores de dados para inteligência artificial, criadores de conteúdo para redes sociais, trabalhadoras domésticas... Todas essas atividades de trabalho - e muitas outras - têm sido executadas por meio de plataformas digitais. Isso tem transformado setores que já existiam e criado outros, por meio de mecanismos poderosos de dependência e controle. A plataformização do trabalho - ou seja, o crescente uso de plataformas digitais para executar atividades de trabalho - tende a generalização para toda a economia, com diferentes perfis e contextos. Isso envolve formas de extração de dados e automatização de processos com resultados nada promissores para os...

This work has been funded by the Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd in partnership with United Nations Inter-Agency Task Force on SSE (UNTFSSE) The Encyclopedia of the Social and Solidarity Economy is a comprehensive reference text that explores how the social and solidarity economy (SSE) plays a significant role in creating and developing economic activities in alternative ways. In contrast to processes involving commodification, commercialisation, bureaucratisation and corporatisation, the SSE reasserts the place of ethics, social well-being and democratic decision-making in economic activities and governance. Identifying and analysing a myriad of issues and topics associated with the SSE, the Encyclopedia broadens the knowledge base of diverse actors of the SSE, including practitioners, activists and policymakers.
This collection breaks new ground by investigating applications of degrowth in a range of geographic, practical and theoretical contexts along the food chain. Degrowth challenges growth and advocates for everyday practices that limit socio-metabolic energy and material flows within planetary constraints. As such, the editors intend to map possibilities for food for degrowth to become established as a field of study. International contributors offer a range of examples and possibilities to develop more sustainable, localised, resilient and healthy food systems using degrowth principles of sufficiency, frugal abundance, security, autonomy and conviviality. Chapters are clustered in parts that ...
"The market size and strength of the major digital platform companies has invited international concern about how such firms should best be regulated to serve the interests of wider society, with a particular emphasis on the need for new anti-trust legislation. Using a normative innovation systems approach, this paper investigates how current anti-trust models may insufficiently address the value-extracting features of existing data-intensive and platform-oriented industry behaviour and business models. To do so, we employ the concept of economic rents to investigate how digital platforms create and extract value. Two forms of rent are elaborated: 'network monopoly rents' and 'algorithmic rents.' By identifying such rents more precisely, policymakers and researchers can better direct regulatory investigations, as well as broader industrial and innovation policy approaches, to shape the features of platform-driven digital markets"--
This book offers conceptual analyses, highlights issues, proposes solutions, and discusses practices regarding privacy and data protection in transitional times. It is one of the results of the 15th annual International Conference on Computers, Privacy and Data Protection (CPDP), which was held in Brussels in May 2022. We are in a time of transition. Artificial Intelligence is making significant breakthroughs in how humans use data and information, and is changing our lives in virtually all aspects. The pandemic has pushed society to adopt changes in how, when, why, and the media through which, we interact. A new generation of European digital regulations - such as the AI Act, Digital Servic...

Providing a comprehensive, interdisciplinary overview of the gig economy from both a labour and employment perspective, this Research Agenda goes beyond the question of the employment status of platform workers. It investigates how the gig economy is changing the way people work, how the platforms’ business models are spreading in our economies, and what labour and social institutions are needed to respond to the challenges that platform work raises.
No contexto de nosso interesse do que chamamos de “experimentação política”, e que nos abre uma janela para observarmos o grande desenvolvimento da inovação política em toda a América Latina – e também na Espanha -, lançamos uma série de artigos que chamamos de «O ecossistema da democracia aberta». Esta é uma iniciativa que a Democracia Abierta promoveu com apps4citizens, uma plataforma que promove a criação de tecnologia para o comprometimento coletivo social e político. Há alguns anos, assistimos ao surgimento do poder de relacionamento, da transversalidade, da participação. Este é o enclave que dá sentido e destaque à tecnopolítica, base sobre a qual uma nova ...
