Sumario:The Covid-19 pandemic sets up one of the worst health crises in Brazil, intensifying problems such as unemployment, so that 15% of all Brazilians in informal jobs use passenger delivery or transport applications as a source of income. Under these conditions of production, we ask ourselves how the discourse of delivery application-companies means labor relations and mobility in the pandemic city? Through the theoretical-methodological device of Discourse Analysis, we analyzed materials from the companies Ifood, 99Food and UberEats, building the corpus through the formulations “#ViverÉUmaEntrega”, “parceiros de entrega” and “Tenha poder de escolha”. In addition, we focused on the notions of dense and rarefied mobility and data subject to reflect on the labor (dis)links between delivery companies and subject-deliverers in this situation affected by a digital system that not only crosses us, but constitutes us.
