This talk discusses the use of ‘algorithms in everyday labour’ to explore the labourconditions of three Chinese food delivery platforms: Baidu, Eleme, and Meituan. In particular, it examines how delivery workers make sense of these algorithms through the parameters of temporality, affect, and gamification. The talk also argues that in working for food delivery platforms, couriers are not simply passive entities subject to a digital ‘panopticon’. Instead, they create their own ‘organic algorithms’ to manage and, in some cases, even subvert the system. The results of the approach used in the study which this talk stems from demonstrate that digital labourhas become both more accessible and more precarious in contemporary China. Based on these results, the notion of ‘algorithmic making and remaking’ is suggested as a topic for future research on technology and digital labour.BioDATE: Monday, 19 April2021TIME: 18:00-19:00VENUE: HS436MODERATOR: DrYanning HuangSERIES COORDINATOR: DrMarco PellitteriFor any enquiries, please contact: COM@xjtlu.edu.cnAbstractDrSun PingChinese Academy of Social SciencesDrSun Ping is an assistant professor in the Department of Journalism and Communication at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
