Abstract

This article analyzes how Marxist platform-dependent cultural producers in Brazil - one woman and two drag queens - navigate platform spaces in relation to their identities and everyday work. Struggling with platforms refers to the specific ways in which Marxist cultural producers seek to engage in class struggles, while also grappling with the constraints imposed by platforms. There are paradoxes, tensions and frictions in these efforts. In analytical terms, the article develops how this ‘struggling with platforms’ occurs in two main dimensions: (1) struggling with identities – including the implications of being a Marxist cultural producer on platforms and how one's identity is shaped and commodified in this space, and (2) struggling with everyday work – considering how the pursuit of social change is both constrained and enabled on platforms.

与平台抗争：巴西的马克思主义身份、文化生产和日常工作

本文分析了巴西依赖平台的马克思主义文化生产者--一名女性和两名变装皇后--如何将平台空间与其身份和日常工作联系起来。与平台抗争指的是马克思主义文化生产者寻求参与阶级斗争的具体方式，同时还要努力应对平台施加的限制。这些努力存在悖论、紧张和摩擦。文章从两个主要方面分析了 "与平台抗争 "是如何发生的：(1) 与身份抗争--包括在平台上作为马克思主义文化生产者的意义，以及在这一空间中个人身份是如何被塑造和商品化的；(2) 与日常工作抗争--考虑在平台上追求社会变革是如何既受到限制又得以实现的。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Cultural Studies is committed to rethinking cultural practices, processes, texts and infrastructures beyond traditional national frameworks and regional biases. The journal publishes theoretical, empirical and historical analyses that interrogate what culture means, and what culture does, across global and local scales of power and action, diverse technologies and forms of mediation, and multiple dimensions of performance, experience and identity. Dedicated to theoretical and methodological innovation in cultural research, the journal is multidisciplinary in outlook, publishing relevant contributions that integrate approaches from the social sciences, humanities, information sciences and more. International Journal of Cultural Studies publishes original research articles. The journal gives preference to papers that extend existing theory or generate new theory through interpretive engagement with empirical cases. Papers based on single country case-studies should clearly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses for an international readership. The journal does not publish close readings of single texts; but it does consider critical, contextualised readings that similarly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses to the field. International Journal of Cultural Studies regularly publishes special issues on urgent questions in the field as well as on specific regions, industries and practices.
