Resumen
La digitalización del mundo del trabajo es una arista ineludible a la hora de acercarnos a los modos de trabajar en la actualidad. Este artículo se propone indagar las percepciones sobre trabajo digital en la ciudad de Rafaela (Santa Fe) en el siglo XXI. Desde una sociología de los cuerpos/emociones entendemos que las percepciones son el trasfondo de las prácticas sociales y que, en los trabajos digitales, éstas se reconfiguran junto a los cambios estructurales en la lógica temporal y espacial. Para ello, implementamos una estrategia metodológica cualitativa con muestreo intencional y bola de nieve, a través de la técnica de entrevistas en línea semiestructuradas. Pudimos dar cuenta que, con respecto a las características del trabajo digital, la relación de los/as trabajadores/as con sus clientes se ve intensificada, a veces más directamente (como jefe) y otras más indirectamente según la modalidad de ocupación. Además, valoran positivamente al trabajo como lugar de formación profesional y personal: la experiencia se mide por la diversidad de trabajos/clientes y no por la cantidad de años de actividad. Con respecto a las percepciones temporales, pudimos identificar que el tiempo productivo se prioriza sobre otros tiempos y su control se vuelve una fantasía difícil de lograr. Las variables de tiempo y espacio están íntimamente relacionadas: los/las trabajadores/as realizan su actividad en cualquier tiempo y lugar mientras haya siempre cuerpos disponibles y accesibles como una mercancía. Las percepciones de estos/as trabajadores/as digitales configuran sensibilidades sociales de adaptación y autodisciplina, que intensifican la expropiación de energías corporales/sociales.
The digitization of the world of work is an unavoidable aspect when it comes to approaching the ways of working today. This article aims to investigate perceptions about digital work in the city of Rafaela (Santa Fe) in the 21st century. From a sociology of bodies/emotions we understand that perceptions are the background of social practices and that, in digital work, these are reconfigured along with structural changes in temporal and spatial logics. For this reason, we implemented a qualitative methodological strategy with purposive and snowball sampling, through the technique of semi-structured online interviews. We found that, with regard to the characteristics of digital work, the relationship of workers with their customers is intensified, sometimes more directly (as a boss) and sometimes more indirectly, depending on the type of occupation. In addition, work is valued positively as a place of professional and personal training: experience is measured by the diversity of jobs/clients and not by the number of years of activity. With respect to time perceptions, our findings showed that productive time is prioritized over other times, and its control becomes a fantasy that is difficult to achieve. The variables of time and space are closely related: workers carry out their activity at any time and place as long as there are always bodies available and accessible as a commodity. The perceptions of these digital workers shape social sensibilities of adaptation and self-discipline, which intensify the expropriation of bodily/social energies.
