Die Plattform ist in den letzten Jahren sowohl eine zentrale Institution als auch wesentliche Metapher der gegenwärtigen Verfasstheit westlicher Gesellschaften geworden, so dass von einem "Plattformkapitalismus" die Rede ist. Nachhaltige Auswirkungen zeigen sich in verschiedenen Sphären - darunter besonders zentral in der Organisation von Arbeit. Nach einer breiten medialen Thematisierung spiegelt sich das Phänomen auch in einer zunehmenden wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung wider. Im folgenden Beitrag werden vier aktuelle Werke vorgestellt und diskutiert, die den englischsprachigen Diskurs wiedergeben. Review: 1) Dyer-Whiteford (2015). Cyber-Proletariat. Global Labour in the Digital Vortex. London: Pluto Press. 2) Scholz, Trebor (2017). Uberworked and Underpaid. How Workers are Disrupting the Digital Economy. New York: Polity Press. 3) Srnicek, Nick (2017). Platform Capitalism. Cambridge, UK: Polity Press. 4) Sundararajan, Arun (2016). The Sharing Economy. The End of Employment and the Rise of Crowd-Based Capitalism. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press.... view less
