El no-lugar del trabajo doméstico en la intermediación de las plataformas digitales

Objective: To understand the aporetic situations generated by the use of digital platforms in the intermediation of domestic work performed by women in Bogotá D.C from a socio-legal perspective. This is analyzed in light of the social reconfiguration produced by super-modernity, a phenomenon Marc Augé terms the “non-place” Methodology: Qualitative, based on case studies through a hermeneutic analysis, starting from the legal-normative framework to delve, —based on the concept of the “non-place”— into the sociocultural dimensions of the relationships shaped by the use of digital platforms in domestic work. Results: The legal configuration of digital intermediation, grounded in classical assumptions of time and space in employment contracts, was found to produce aporetic situations sustained by conditions of turnover, dispensability, and segregation, which prevent the weaving of symbolic interactions among the concurrent population. Conclusions: Three discussion categories arise that must be considered in the socio-legal debate on domestic work mediated by digital platforms: 1) the diffuse space of legal regulation in labor relations, 2) socio-spatial segregation, and 3) exclusion to non-historical spaces generated by the digital intermediation model.
