摘要

在按需平台中受到影响的城市化是政治的一个主要场所，而不是资本主义独行其道后发生的后果。为了证明这一点，本文首先将自动化从其传统的技术范围扩展到更好地理解其被忽视的具体维度。因此，通过按需移动和交付平台的例子，我解释了自动化如何被理解为一种特定的感受结构，这种感受结构是随需平台城市化所固有的，它正在改变城市生活并创造独特的主体性。本文将这些体现在自动化维度上的问题作为实证重点，墨尔本逐步取消COVID-19限制措施加剧了这一问题。我的观点是，工人和消费者的不满情绪正在有效地破坏这种按需平台资本主义的自动化。文章的结论是，在这种背景下的不满情绪有一个潜在的恢复维度，开辟了以前不可想象的城市未来。

The politics of deautomation: Being disaffected by platform capitalism

Being affected in on-demand platform urbanism is a primary site of politics, not an aftereffect that happens once capitalism has had its way. To make this argument, this article begins by expanding automation from its conventional technical purview to better appreciate its overlooked embodied dimensions. Accordingly, through the examples of on-demand mobility and delivery platforms, I explain how automation can be understood as a specific structure of feeling immanent to on-demand platform urbanism that is transforming city life and creating distinctive subjectivities. This article takes as its empirical focus the unravelling of these embodied dimensions of automation, which has been exacerbated by the gradual rollback of COVID-19 restrictions in Melbourne. My argument is that a felt sense of disaffection by both workers and consumers is effectively deautomating this form of on-demand platform capitalism. The article concludes that disaffection in this context has a potentially recuperative dimension, opening up alternative urban futures that were previously unthinkable.

期刊介绍： EPD: Society and Space is an international, interdisciplinary scholarly and political project. Through both a peer reviewed journal and an editor reviewed companion website, we publish articles, essays, interviews, forums, and book reviews that examine social struggles over access to and control of space, place, territory, region, and resources. We seek contributions that investigate and challenge the ways that modes and systems of power, difference and oppression differentially shape lives, and how those modes and systems are resisted, subverted and reworked. We welcome work that is empirically engaged and furthers a range of critical epistemological approaches, that pushes conceptual boundaries and puts theory to work in innovative ways, and that consciously navigates the fraught politics of knowledge production within and beyond the academy.
