摘要

本文通过对 19 位英国旅游博主的定性实证研究，将其视为数字游牧民族的独特范例，参与了独特形式的生活方式迁移。本文分析了旅游博主的工作生活，关注了旅游博主自身的迁移地理位置如何与其数字劳动密不可分地结合在一起。本文对有关数字游牧和生活方式迁移的文献做出了三项重要贡献。首先，论文强调了旅游博主的个人移民地理如何成为旅游博主向其网络受众进行数字游牧商品化表演的关键资源。其次，旅游博主遇到了与移民地理和数字工作交叉相关的 "摩擦"，即工作过度、心理健康问题和数字平台的不稳定性。第三，尽管旅游博主可能将自己理解为生活方式移民，但他们对自己的特权移民地理如何影响其他移民或社区的反思却很有限。在结论中，这些反思被用来思考作为一种生活方式移民形式的旅游博客会让我们对工作、数字技术和移民的未来产生怎样的影响。

Travel Bloggers as ‘Digital Nomads’–How Can Understanding This Lifestyle Migration Help us to Think About the Future of Work, Migration and Technology?

This paper draws on qualitative, empirical research conducted with nineteen British travel bloggers as distinctive examples of digital nomads, involved in unique forms of lifestyle migration. The paper analyses travel bloggers’ working lives, paying attention to how travel bloggers own migration geographies inextricably entwine with their digital labour. The paper makes three key contributions to the literature on digital nomadism and lifestyle migration. Firstly, the paper highlights how travel bloggers personal migration geographies are a key resource in travel bloggers commodified performances of digital nomadism to their online audiences. Secondly, that travel bloggers encounter ‘frictions’ associated with this intersection of migration geographies and digital work, namely issues of overwork, mental health struggles and instability of digital platforms. Thirdly, that although travel bloggers may understand themselves as lifestyle migrants, there is limited reflection on how, their own, privileged migration geographies may impact upon other migrants or communities. Within the conclusion, these reflections are used to ponder what travel blogging as a form of lifestyle migration may allow us to consider about the future of work, digital technologies and migration.
