    The article provides an overview of the ways in which STS perspectives inspired by infrastructure studies are analysing issues of work transformations in the digital age, and more specifically digital labor. After an introductory part dedicated to the presentation of infrastructure studies as a means of analysing digital infrastructures as governance tools, the article discusses two fields of analysis in which these perspectives cross the interdisciplinary studies of digital work: the understanding of digital labor as "human infrastructure" and the analysis of the phenomenon of "algorithmic governance" in the transformation of work. The article concludes with some reflections on the current evolutions of digital infrastructures as a "meta-infrastructure" of most other critical infrastructures, and on the link between this phenomenon and work transformations.

    Nel corso dell’ultimo decennio, gli studi sociali della scienza e della tecnologia (science and technology studies o STS), in particolar modo gli infrastructure studies, hanno contribuito ad aprire nuovi orizzonti di ricerca relativi allo studio della governance delle tecnologie che strutturano le nostre società digitalizzate. Questi contributi suggeriscono che il potere e del controllo negli ambienti digitali si esercitano in modi spesso informali e poco codificati, nonché discreti o addirittura invisibili per numerosi attori sociali. Questo articolo si propone di fornire un panorama dei modi in cui gli infrastructure studies si stanno avvicinando alle tematiche delle trasformazioni del lavoro nell’era digitale e più specificamente alle ricerche sul digital labor. Dopo una parte introduttiva consacrata alla presentazione degli infrastructure studies come mezzo di analisi delle infrastrutture digitali come strumenti di governance, l’articolo discute tre campi di analisi in cui tali prospettive vengono ad incrociare gli studi interdisciplinari del lavoro digitale: la comprensione del digital labor come "infrastruttura umana", l’analisi dei fenomeni di "governance algoritmica" nelle trasformazioni del lavoro, e l’esame della "platform governance" in relazione al lavoro digitale. L’articolo conclude con qualche riflessione sulle evoluzioni attuali di Internet come "meta-infrastruttura" della maggior parte delle altre infrastrutture critiche, e sul legame tra questo fenomeno e trasformazioni del lavoro.
