| description | <p class="first" id="d1724999e71">This article aims to put forward an overarching typology of platform-related work.
First, it places the platformisation of productive processes within a characterisation
of informational capitalism. Then it proceeds by distinguishing between work behind
and through capitalist platforms. The former refers to the informational, industrial
and service work and workers who keep the platforms up and running. The greater part
of the article is devoted to discussing the latter. This second category is further
divided into three sub-categories of work and workers: ‘gig labour’, ‘prosumers’ and
‘self-employed owners’. Finally, platform work and labour beyond capitalist platforms
are addressed, with a further sub-typology. Here, three types of beyond-capitalist
platforms are identified: co-ops, commons-based peer production and state-owned agencies.
