Resumo: This article aims to understand the subjectivity of the shopper worker, analyzing uberization in the Brazilian scenario and the impacts of neoliberalism on the social and urban reality. We investigated how shoppers describe their activities, what relationships they establish with platforms and colleagues, and how they manifest their identity. To achieve this, we analyzed two workers who talk about this type of work on YouTube channels. The conclusions point out that the uncertainties experienced in this context are converted into uncertainties regarding their professional identities, which are added to an urban context dominated by lack of protection of millions of workers, who are sometimes seen as entrepreneurs of their own lives seeking to build alternatives of income and work.

Observamos como os shoppers descrevem suas atividades, quais relações estabelecem com as plataformas e colegas e de que forma manifestam sua identidade. Para tanto, analisamos dois trabalhadores que narram questões sobre esse tipo de trabalho em canais do YouTube. As conclusões sinalizam que as incertezas vivenciadas nesse contexto se convertem em indefinições quanto às suas identidades profissionais, que se somam a um contexto urbano dominado pela falta de proteção de milhões de trabalhadores, por vezes vistos a si mesmos como empreendedores de suas próprias vidas que buscam construir alternativas de renda e trabalho.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2022-05-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/metropole/article/view/5527510.1590/2236-9996.2022-5406Cadernos Metrópole; Vol. 24 No. 54 (2022): as metrópoles sob governança neoliberal/ultraliberal; 577-602Cadernos Metrópole; Vol. 24 Núm. 54 (2022): as metrópoles sob governança neoliberal/ultraliberal; 577-602Cadernos Metrópole; Vol. 24 No. 54 (2022): as metrópoles sob governança neoliberal/ultraliberal; 577-602Cadernos Metrópole; v. 24 n. 54 (2022): as metrópoles sob governança neoliberal/ultraliberal; 577-6022236-99961517-2422reponame:Cadernos Metrópole (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporenghttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/metropole/article/view/55275/39702https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/metropole/article/view/55275/39703Copyright (c) 2022 Brauner Geraldo Cruz Junior, Claudio Luis de Camargo Penteado, Paulo Roberto Elias de Souzahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCruz Junior, Brauner Geraldode Camargo Penteado, Claudio Luis Elias de Souza, Paulo Roberto2022-05-23T01:18:46Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/55275Revistahttps://revistas.pucsp.br/metropolePRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phpcadernosmetropole@outlook.com||cadernosmetropole@outlook.com2236-99961517-2422opendoar:2022-05-23T01:18:46Cadernos Metrópole (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
