Resumo: | In the discussions involving the sharing economy, it is possible to see a tendency to highlight its positive aspects. However, the debates seem to neglect problematizations regarding the dilemmas and consequences of what sharing can mean for the social groups interested in embracing the sharing economy concept. In the age of access, the lack of ownership of goods may indicate a transformation concerning life in society. However, the essence of collaboration inherent in the sharing economy might be questioned, as the shared system would be just an attractive instrument with a friendly discourse mostly used to transfer the responsibility of the industry to the citizen, under the banner of mutual aid. Thus, our article seeks to investigate the different perspectives on sharing by analyzing its main dilemmas. Our study presents a critical view of the barriers, vulnerabilities and illusions present in this specific issue, which most studies and approaches on the subject end up reproducing. As a theoretical contribution to the literature, we point out that only those who have access to the sharing system are able to participate effectively, and their excesses reiterate the economicist and utilitarian structure based on inequality. |

No entanto, os debates parecem negligenciar problematizações quanto aos dilemas e consequências do que o compartilhamento pode significar para os grupos sociais interessados em abraçar o conceito de economia da partilha. Na era do acesso, a ausência de propriedade dos bens pode indicar uma transformação da vida em sociedade. No entanto, a essência da colaboração inerente à economia da partilha pode ser questionada, visto que o sistema compartilhado seria apenas um instrumento atraente com um discurso amigável utilizado principalmente para transferir a responsabilidade da indústria para o cidadão, sob a bandeira da ajuda mútua. Assim, o artigo busca investigar as diferentes perspectivas sobre o compartilhamento, analisando seus principais dilemas. Nosso estudo apresenta uma visão crítica das barreiras, vulnerabilidades e ilusões presentes nesta questão específica, que a maioria dos estudos e abordagens sobre o assunto acaba reproduzindo. Como contribuição teórica à literatura, apontamos que somente quem tem acesso ao sistema de compartilhamento consegue participar efetivamente, e seus excessos reiteram a estrutura economicista e utilitária baseada na desigualdade.Núcleo de Pós-graduação em Administração, Escola de Administração, UFBA2021-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/revistaoes/article/view/37737Organizações & Sociedade; Vol. 28 No. 99 (2021)Organizações & Sociedade; v. 28 n. 99 (2021)1984-92301413-585Xreponame:Organizações & Sociedade (Online)instname:Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)instacron:UFBAengporhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/revistaoes/article/view/37737/25439https://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/revistaoes/article/view/37737/25440Copyright (c) 2021 Organizações & Sociedadeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessViegas da Costa-Nascimento, Daniela dos Santos de Sousa Teodósio, Armindode Rezende Pinto, Marcelo 2021-12-01T13:21:14Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufba.br:article/37737Revistahttp://www.revistaoes.ufba.br/PUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phpcandidab@ufba.br||revistaoes@ufba.br1984-92301413-585Xopendoar:2021-12-01T13:21:14Organizações & Sociedade (Online) - Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)false |
