Abstract

This article aims to put forward an overarching typology of platform-related work. First, it places the platformisation of productive processes within a characterisation of informational capitalism. Then it proceeds by distinguishing between work behind and through capitalist platforms. The former refers to the informational, industrial and service work and workers who keep the platforms up and running. The greater part of the article is devoted to discussing the latter. This second category is further divided into three sub-categories of work and workers: ‘gig labour’, ‘prosumers’ and ‘self-employed owners’. Finally, platform work and labour beyond capitalist platforms are addressed, with a further sub-typology. Here, three types of beyond-capitalist platforms are identified: co-ops, commons-based peer production and state-owned agencies.

在资本主义平台的背后，穿透和超越

本文旨在提出与平台相关的工作的总体类型。首先，它将生产过程的平台化置于信息资本主义的特征之中。然后，它区分了资本主义平台背后和通过资本主义平台的工作。前者是指信息、工业和服务工作以及维护平台运行的工人。这篇文章的大部分致力于讨论后者。这第二类进一步分为工作和工人的三个子类别:“零工”、“生产消费者”和“自雇业主”。最后，讨论了资本主义平台之外的平台工作和劳动，并提出了进一步的子类型学。这里确定了三种类型的超越资本主义的平台:合作社、基于共同基础的同行生产和国有机构。

期刊介绍： Work Organisation, Labour and Globalisation aims to: -Provide a single home for articles which specifically address issues relating to the changing international division of labour and the restructuring of work in a global knowledge-based economy. -Bring together the results of empirical research, both qualitative and quantitative, with theoretical analyses in order to inform the development of new interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the restructuring of work, organisational structures and labour in a global context. -Be global in scope, with a particular emphasis on attracting contributions from developing countries as well as from Europe, North America and other developed regions. -Encourage a dialogue between university-based researchers and their counterparts in international and national government agencies, independent research institutes, trade unions and civil society as well as other policy makers. Subject to the requirements of scholarly peer review, it is open to submissions from contributors working outside the academic sphere and encourages an accessible style of writing in order to facilitate this goal. -Complement, rather than compete with, existing discipline-based journals. -Bring to the attention of English-speaking readers relevant articles originally published in other languages.
