Food Delivery Couriers and the City : From Humans to Objects. From Objects to Place Makers.The City as the Aftermath of Posthuman Encounters.

Valladares López, Guillermo January 2022 (has links)
In recent years, many academics have noticed the presence of food delivery couriers in theurban space. Likewise, activism has emerged calling for the recognition of food deliverycouriers, and many have addressed the dehumanization they have suffered by becomingcommodities and, thus, objects. Therefore, the food delivery courier has the potential tobecome a case study that can problematize how humanity categorizes what counts as humanand not. Through understanding how food delivery couriers shape the urban landscape, theiragency cannot be denied. This thesis uses the phenomenological method to reflect upon first-hand bodilyexperiences of the researcher and food delivery courier, who in this case is based in Malmö,Sweden. The food delivery courier finds and creates meaning by encountering the manyactors involved in city making by cycling in the city. Thus, this thesis is a materialization ofmore than human encounters and a space to reflect upon their relevance in creating the city asthe result of a coalition of multi-ontological intentionalities.
