Digital Platform Workers
We explore the opportunities and challenges resulting from the rise of online labour platforms in Switzerland and beyond. We ask how digitalisation processes in labour mediation change the meaning of work itself and how work is organised socially, spatially and temporally. How do machine-based labour mediation and dematerialised social relations change working conditions? How does platform work shape workers’ subjectivities?
