SUMMARY:

In this document, as part of the requirements for thesis qualification, I will
succinctly present the theoretical framework employed to address the following
question: how is time conceptualized and experienced by working-class
individuals subject to work mediated by digital platforms? Aiming to deepen the
understanding of capital's manipulative dynamics, I will put forth a hypothesis to
be tested, which posits that the manipulative dynamics of capital, in light of new
characteristics associated with the world of work, have entered a new phase
marked by the hegemony of an algorithmic temporality. In this phase, time freed
from work, within the realm of daily practice, becomes indistinguishable from time
available for work. Additionally, I will discuss the use of an expanded case study
approach as the chosen method to capture the dynamic reality of this
phenomenon. Selected as a synthetic effort between approaches that prioritize
structural factors and those emphasizing agency, this research will focus on
workers subjected to platform-mediated labor, conceived here as an extreme
case of the flexibilizing trend. The primary technique for data collection will be
participant observation. The qualitative data analysis, with its in-depth
engagement with context, will ultimately seek to reconstruct, in a more complex
form, the critical theory of society.
