Abstract

Today, the platform model has diversified, specialized, and spread to encompass all kinds of processes and dynamics. There are logistics platforms, travel platforms, study platforms, dating platforms, platforms for processing, disseminating, or producing academic work, and more. It is difficult to imagine a social activity that cannot be platformized. On a platform, each profile, each account, is distinct from all the others, a component particle in a cosmos of singularities whose interaction generates exponential productivity. Identifying the structural singularity and the political nature of digital platforms can be an elusive and uncertain task.
