The Essence of Digital Nomadism:A Case Study of Chinese Digital Nomads
With the advancement of globalization and digital technology,digital nomadism has gradually formed a new trend of professionalization worldwide.This study,based on a clear understanding of the concept of digital nomadism,referencing Deleuze and the image of Mongolian nomads in China,employs semi-structured interviews,observations,and online content analysis to explore Chinese digital nomads.It finds that while digital nomadism advocates"liberation""freedom"and"autonomy",ostensibly critiquing and opposing contemporary capitalism,the process of its development,including its commodification,professionalization,institutionalization,and the underlying meta-work,continues to mimic and resonate with the power dynamics present in commercial activities and institutional systems.In a sense,digital nomadism can be viewed as a response to market demands and an extension of capitalism,presenting itself as promoting"collaboration""decentralization""romanticism"and"self-reliance",yet fundamentally it is"driven by profit".
