Theorizing Relational Work in the Collaborative Economy: an Application to Peer-To-Peer Renting
Drawing on Zelizer’ (2012) economic sociology, this research theorizes renting as a combination of social ties, economic transactions, exchange media and negotiated meanings. A 3-year study of 43 owners highlights three distinct ‘relational packages’ and shows these involve relational work not only with renters but firstly with possessions.
