Plataformização Solidária

Summary

The “Plataformização Solidária” announcement on the Revista Ciência & Tecnologia Social (CTS) at the University of Brasília (UNB) invites article submissions for its 5th volume, 1st issue in 2023. The issue will focus on the growing trend of platform cooperativism, which challenges the “Big Tech” entrepreneurship model and advocates for social economy values, cooperativism, and social justice. The “Plataformização Solidária” concept recognizes that many such initiatives do not fit traditional legal definitions of cooperatives. Projects like Cataki and AppJusto, inspired by the Solidarity Economy, are explored for their potential to reimagine work arrangements in the digital economy. The submission themes include platform work, social technology, platform cooperativism in Latin America, legal aspects of self-managed digital work, and ” Plataformização Solidária case studies.” The deadline for submissions is 31/12/23.
