AbstractWhile the privatization of agriculture took place over a decade ago in Russia, individual farming has yet to take hold. The economic barriers for the lone farmer are almost insurmountable in most cases. In addition, those who attempt entrepreneurial farming and leave the collective must also be willing to symbolically leave the community. While entrepreneurial endeavors might be appealing to some, and the prospect of the market enticing, for others the questionable moral worth of the capitalist economy has yet to prove compelling enough to inspire abandoning the reorganized collective. The emotional economy, which along with material constraints navigates individuals' choices in subsistence practices, is elaborated as an alternative to neoclassical approaches to private property. Many rural inhabitants continue to maintain the collective identity of their agricultural work because it is so tightly interwoven with historic socio-emotional concepts of « work », “life”, and « culture ». Based on over a year of fieldwork on a former collective farm, this paper examines the emotional, material and social complexities of privatization in a Russian village.

The digital platform economy, driven by the advent of mobile Internet and breakthrough technologies such as cloud computing, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence, has become a prominent economic paradigm since the early 2000s. These platforms are reshaping the landscape of labour, serving as intermediaries for the provision of goods and services, and they pose significant challenges to conventional employment and social safety nets. This article explores the origins, development and impacts of digital platforms on work, based on a review of the literature on the subject and on empirical data. The article begins by outlining the emergence of digital platforms, their various forms and the extent of the platform work phenomenon. It then describes the characteristics of platform workers and their employment conditions. Based on data from a survey of young Quebecers working on the Uber and Uber Eats platforms, the article then analyses why they choose this type of employment. The conclusion raises the challenges posed by digital platforms to the regulation of work.
