Between coping and resistance: Migrant networks and alternative forms of collectivism
基于两家丹麦平台公司的比较研究，本文提出区分应对与抵抗的集体策略框架，揭示数字移民网络如何成为不稳定工作环境中的关键社会基础设施，并催生集体抵抗。
The literature on migrant workers generally indicates limited worker collectivism. Based on a comparative study of two Danish platform companies, however, this article shows how digital migrant networks are a crucial social infrastructure in precarious working environments. Using a novel conceptual framework that differentiates between collective strategies of coping and resistance, we show that collective resistance can spring from migrant networks. This foregrounds an understanding of how collectivism underpinned by strong migrant networks can wax and wane, which broadens our understanding of collectivism as a dynamic practice. The study’s findings underscore the importance of political networks as a foundation for strategies of resistance, the value of network embeddedness, and the effects of particular migrant and employment characteristics on collective strategies.
