Making Use of the World: Digital Nomadism between Mobility, Work, and Tourism[Faire usage du monde : le nomadisme numérique entre mobilités, travail et tourisme]

This special issue focuses on the multidimensionality of the digital nomadism (DN) phenomenon, both through the analysis of its manifestations and with a theoretical framework and interdisciplinary methodology. The early 21st century has witnessed the emergence of a new population of hypermobile workers commonly referred to as digital nomads (DN). The literature defines them as individuals who carry out their professional activities using new information and communication technologies while adopting a lifestyle based on frequent migrations (Makimoto and Manners, 1997). Digital nomads are thus characterized as individuals who escape the traditional framework of work by leveraging constantly evolving digital technologies in a globalized context. As world citizens, they constantly visit or even create new places, engage in leisure activities such as surfing or skiing, and seek to explore foreign countries and cultures (Reichenberger, 2018). At the same time, they reinvent new ways of engaging with work in a digital environment. They are primarily part of the millennial generation (https://nomadlist.com/digital-nomad-statistics#age).
