Abstract

The paper aims to theorize on digital labor from communication point of view. Thus, it discusses the platformization of labor beyond the so-called “uberization” and with race, gender, class and territory perspectives. It considers platforms as means of production and communication, with logics of interactions and productive processes since their designs. The article discusses, then, the role of communication as an organizer of digital labor both in the control and management of work on platforms and in the possibilities of organizing workers, whether in associations, unions, platform cooperatives or more informal arrangements.
