Abstract
[Resumen] En este trabajo se presenta un estudio de caso comparado entre ciudades españolas y rioplatenses en relación a los discursos y prácticas de trabajadores/as en diversas compañías de reparto de comida a domicilio. Los escenarios para las mismas tienen que ver con puntos de reunión y esperas de los/las riders y el objetivo fundamental es analizar sus narrativas, la relación de las mismas con la configuración de heterogéneas formas de identidad sociolaboral y cómo todo ello opera en un campo de trabajo urbano, móvil, itinerante, conflictivo y precario. Se trata de un trabajo de campo que comenzó en 2021 en las ciudades españolas de Coruña y Murcia, y en Mar del Plata (Argentina) y Montevideo (Uruguay), realizando observación, entrevistas semi-estructuradas y encuestas. Entre los principales resultados figura una reflexión sobre las identidades que tienen que ver, por una parte, con el individualismo y por otra con las relaciones de compañerismo encontradas en el campo; una explicación de las repercusiones estéticas y tecnológicas que condicionan la entrada y (re)producción a/de las dinámicas laborales; y una reflexión en torno a procesos de inseguridad que repercuten en las subjetividades de los/las trabajadores/as de reparto. En la parte final abordamos una lectura en relación al significado de esta “identidad rider”, ya avanzado en otros contextos bajo la figura de “Homo Rider”.
[Abstract] This paper presents a comparative case study between Spanish and Rio de la Plata cities in relation to the discourses and practices of workers in various food delivery companies. The scenarios for the same have to do with meeting and waiting points of the riders and the main objective is to analyze their narratives, their relationship with the configuration of heterogeneous forms of socio-labor identity and how all this operates in an urban, mobile, itinerant, conflictive and precarious field of work. It is a fieldwork that began in 2021 in the Spanish cities of Coruña and Murcia, and in Mar del Plata (Argentina) and Montevideo (Uruguay), carrying out observation, semi-structured interviews and surveys. The main results include a reflection on the identities that have to do, on the one hand, with individualism and on the other with the companionship relationships found in the field; an explanation of the aesthetic and technological repercussions that condition the entry and (re)production to/from labor dynamics; and a reflection around processes of insecurity that impact on the subjectivities of delivery workers. In the final part we address a reading in relation to the meaning of this “rider identity”, already advanced in other contexts under the figure of “Homo Rider”.
