Para uma crítica da economia política das plataformas digitais:

This article develops three fundamental themes for an approach to digital platforms, based on the contribution of the Political Economy of Communication developed in Brazil: i) the definition of platformization and digital platforms in relation to capitalist transformations; ii) the reconfiguration of international relations in the platform economy; and iii) the different empirical manifestations of the phenomenon, which are organized into a specific taxonomy. It proposes an understanding of platformization as a form of concentration of social production and of digital platforms as structures for aggregating different agents and their productions, which constitute a new structure of social mediation, the result of US efforts to regain its hegemony.

Abstract

This article develops three fundamental themes for an approach to digital platforms, based on the contribution of the Political Economy of Communication developed in Brazil: i) the definition of platformization and digital platforms in relation to capitalist transformations; ii) the reconfiguration of international relations in the platform economy; and iii) the different empirical manifestations of the phenomenon, which are organized into a specific taxonomy. It proposes an understanding of platformization as a form of concentration of social production and of digital platforms as structures for aggregating different agents and their productions, which constitute a new structure of social mediation, the result of US efforts to regain its hegemony.
