Abstract
Resumo A revisão de literatura sobre o teletrabalho - modalidade em que o trabalho é realizado remotamente, por meio de tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC) - indica diversas e díspares compreensões acerca desse tema. Apresentamos achados de pesquisa sobre essa modalidade, tratando das principais maneiras como tem sido aplicada na prática e das diferentes leituras da produção acadêmica. A partir dos resultados levantados, verifica-se a não unidade das conclusões: há desde entendimentos otimistas, que propagam apenas os supostos benefícios do teletrabalho, até leituras que o consideram um modo moderno de exploração dos trabalhadores. Verifica-se que o teletrabalho é uma tendência no atual cenário do mundo do trabalho. Se, por um lado, propagam-se os benefícios às empresas, aos trabalhadores e à sociedade, por outro, também existe uma série de riscos envolvidos, dizendo respeito, principalmente, à individualização do trabalho - que pode acarretar o isolamento social, profissional e político dos trabalhadores.

Telework would be able to solve all the problems of work and present advantages to all involved. This approach, can hide sensitive questions about the world of contemporary work. Far from being a mere novelty, this modality of work has brought to the fore several questions that must be carefully analyzed
