Resum

 

Aquest monogràfic és el resultat de les investigacions col·lectives realitzades en el marc de dos projectes, LIKEALOCAL: efectes socioespacials d'Airbnb. Turisme i transformació a 4 ciutats d'Espanya - RTI2018-093479-A-I00 (2019-2021) i ONDEMANDCITY: Capitalisme de plataforma, treballadors digitals i tecnificació de la vida quotidiana a la ciutat contemporània - PID2021-12248225-2 ). Els articles d'aquest número especial analitzen qüestions clau en el gir digital dels estudis urbans, centrant la mirada en la dimensió urbana tant de les plataformes i la preeminència actual en la reconfiguració econòmica i social com de la intensificació de la turistificació de les nostres ciutats. Aquesta "gran plataformització de les ciutats" ha generat canvis en els estils de vida urbans, els patrons de consum i les formes d'acumulació de capital, afectant el comerç, la mobilitat i el treball a la ciutat. Així, conceptes teòrics com a "economia de plataforma", "capitalisme de plataforma" o "urbanisme de plataforma" s'estenen - deixant enrere altres innocus com economia col·laborativa o Smart city - per explicar els canvis en les dinàmiques d'acumulació capitalista urbana. Aquests girs conceptuals reflecteixen l'auge de les anàlisis sobre el treball precaritzat intervingut per les plataformes, els mecanismes d'extracció de plusvàlues de les mateixes, i les consegüents transformacions espacials i socials a la ciutat Específicament, els articles que aquí presentem dialoguen al voltant de tres temes fonamentals: el paper de les plataformes digitals a les vides itinerants d'una quantitat creixent d'habitants urbans, el rendisme turístic exacerbat per les plataformes i la precarietat laboral al capitalisme digital. Tot plegat, aquestes perspectives multidisciplinàries destaquen la importància de comprendre com les plataformes digitals estan modelant la vida urbana contemporània a través de les seves interaccions amb l'espai, el temps, el paisatge i les societats urbanes
