摘要

关于平台经济的现有研究对平台劳动做出了各种解释。然而，目前的研究要么将交换而非生产作为解释的核心，要么忽视了平台劳动所属劳动类型的历史延续性。本文采用历史比较的方法，提出了 "跨界吸纳 "的概念，以阐明平台劳动的特征。本文从2018年至2020年对中国打车平台的调查和访谈中汲取启示，深入探讨跨界吸纳在现实中是如何发挥作用的。目的是增进对平台劳动的理解，揭示当前平台经济模式的局限性。

Cross-Boundary Subsumption: Toward a Political Economy of Platform Labor

The existing body of research on the platform economy provides a variety of interpretations of platform labor. Nevertheless, current studies have either placed exchange rather than production at the core of their interpretations or overlooked the historical continuity of the type of labor to which platform labor belongs. Employing a historical-comparative approach, this article introduces the concept of “cross-boundary subsumption” to illuminate the characteristics of platform labor. Drawing insights from investigations and interviews conducted on ride-hailing platforms in China from 2018 to 2020, this article delves into how cross-boundary subsumption works in reality. The goal is to improve the understanding of platform labor and uncover the limits of the current models of the platform economy.

期刊介绍： Published for over thirty years, Modern China has been an indispensable source of scholarship in history and the social sciences on late-imperial, twentieth-century, and present-day China. Modern China presents scholarship based on new research or research that is devoted to new interpretations, new questions, and new answers to old questions. Spanning the full sweep of Chinese studies of six centuries, Modern China encourages scholarship that crosses over the old "premodern/modern" and "modern/contemporary" divides.
