Abstrak

This article examines how Syrian refugee food‑delivery drivers working on the Toters app in Beirut experience the tension between autonomy and automation. Drawing on drivers’ freedom narratives and mapping practices, the study contrasts the app’s automated navigational systems with the drivers’ own social and geographic knowledge, showing how human agency is asserted within conditions of algorithmic surveillance and control.
