Resumo: The recent spread of digital platforms has produced new dynamics in the relationship between work and the city. The aim of this article is to analyze urban flows of app-based delivery workers in the São Paulo metropolis to explore empirically the conditions under which this work is inscribed in the city. We argue that the dispersion of thousands of workers throughout the metropolis, supported by an algorithmic management, can only be carried out through an incisive control of time, territory, and of the work itself, as well as through the workers’ intense vulnerability. Using data obtained by means of ethnographic incursions, interviews, and by the development of cartographic material, we seek to discuss the dynamics of (re)production of central-peripheral inequalities along with work that is spatialized under the centralized management of platform companies.

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os fluxos urbanos dos entregadores de aplicativos pela metrópole de São Paulo para explorar empiricamente as condições em que esse trabalho se inscreve na cidade. Argumentamos que a dispersão de milhares de trabalhadores pela metrópole, ancorada por uma gestão algorítmica, somente se realiza por um controle incisivo do tempo, do território e do próprio trabalho e pela intensa vulnerabilidade dos trabalhadores. Mobilizando dados obtidos por meio de incursões etnográficas, entrevistas e elaboração de material cartográfico, buscaremos discutir as dinâmicas de (re)produção das desigualdades centro-periferia de um trabalho que se espacializa sob gestão centralizada das empresas de plataforma.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2023-12-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/metropole/article/view/6123510.1590/2236-9996.2024-5904Cadernos Metrópole; Vol. 26 No. 59 (2024): precarização do trabalho, nova informalidade e território; 69-96Cadernos Metrópole; Vol. 26 Núm. 59 (2024): precarização do trabalho, nova informalidade e território; 69-96Cadernos Metrópole; Vol. 26 No. 59 (2024): precarização do trabalho, nova informalidade e território; 69-96Cadernos Metrópole; v. 26 n. 59 (2024): precarização do trabalho, nova informalidade e território; 69-962236-99961517-2422reponame:Cadernos Metrópole (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporenghttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/metropole/article/view/61235/43750https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/metropole/article/view/61235/43751Copyright (c) 2023 Lívia Maschio Fioravanti, Felipe Rangel Martins, Cibele Saliba Rizekhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFioravanti, Lívia MaschioMartins, Felipe RangelRizek, Cibele Saliba2023-12-12T00:51:50Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/61235Revistahttps://revistas.pucsp.br/metropolePRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phpcadernosmetropole@outlook.com||cadernosmetropole@outlook.com2236-99961517-2422opendoar:2023-12-12T00:51:50Cadernos Metrópole (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
