This study reveals that despite embracing a hypermobile and individualistic lifestyle, Israeli digital nomads use technology to construct a new form of national identity, which I describe as ‘tailor-made nationalism’. Through interviews with 21 digital nomads, this research demonstrates how technology mediates a process of national affiliation that allows individuals to customise their national identity without the traditional territorial and civic obligations. The concept of tailor-made nationalism contributes to mobilities studies by illustrating how hypermobility and digital technologies inform national belonging. It also extends debates on technology’s impact on nationalism, suggesting that digital platforms enable more flexible and personalised forms of national affiliation. By examining the Israeli case, this paper shows that digital nomadism does not necessarily deny nationalism and is not in itself a post-national, cosmopolitan phenomenon. It offers insights into how mobile lifestyles facilitate the negotiation of national identity through technology, shedding light on the interaction between mobility, technology, and national belonging.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"21 1","pages":"Pages 153-170"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146098660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To complement existing research that mainly analyses these dimensions in isolation, we take an intersectional approach and focus on mobility biographies to study how multiply marginalised women experience (un)safety on public transport in Munich. Through a qualitative, ethnographic research design, we identify key factors influencing their sense of (un)safety: the spatial and social environment, intersectional experiences of discrimination, and their specific socialisation as marginalised women. We found that despite experiences of harassment or violence, many women reported feeling relatively safe. This paradox is linked to them normalising harassment as something to expect as women on public transport. Participants’ feelings of (un)safety were shaped by life-long socialisation, including cautionary tales from family and friends as well as past experiences. To navigate feelings of unsafety, participants developed strategies to minimise risks, which represented an additional mental load. Our study highlights the need for mobility policies that tackle the structural roots of transport-related unsafety through intersectional and proactive justice-oriented planning.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"21 1","pages":"Pages 214-231"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146098668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Covid-19 pandemic serves as a case study to examine how existing structural inequalities and institutional vulnerabilities between core and peripheral regions manifest in European border areas. Based on semi-structured expert and commuter interviews from various European border regions—particularly those between Germany and Luxembourg, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Poland—the research demonstrates how the intersection of border asymmetries and institutional weaknesses deepened mobility injustices.

Existing research tends to examine how single digital platforms affect worker movements and lead to ‘unevenness’. Expanding this discussion, this article explores how the overlapping demands of various digital platforms compound social inequities, a phenomenon I term ‘multiplication of unevenness’. which predominantly affects migrant platform workers. Data from ‘bike-alongs’ and interviews with migrant food couriers in Norway reveal three key types of digital platforms that affect their movement: gig, mobility, and online-market platforms. These three types of platforms interacted to shape migrant food couriers’ mobilities in terms of their space, speed, surveillance, and sociality. Furthermore, rather than being passive subjects, workers also engaged in specific strategies to help mitigate the multiplication of unevenness in their work. The article argues that ‘platform mobilities’ intertwine with the evolution of platform urbanism and the rise of racial platform capitalism. The implications of this study suggest new directions for future research on the convergence of platform mobilities, migrant labor, and urban studies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"20 6","pages":"Pages 1219-1237"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145814328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In light of racial slights, jokes, or anti-immigrant commentary voiced by Chilean passengers, migrants often condition their behavior to minimize their social visibility. I use the term mobile constraint to refer to the many ways in which migrants regulate their presentation and behavior in spaces of mass transit and to the ways these spaces are produced as sites of limited urban citizenship. The work involved in self-governance and the lived reality of these spaces prompt feelings of vulnerability and challenge migrant belonging.
