Abstract

The emerging phenomenon of digital nomadism attracts interest and scrutiny in public and scholarly discourse, provoking questions about normative concerns. Engaging with such questions, we conduct a literature review on digital nomadism informed by critical-theoretic IS research. We read and analyze the literature on digital nomadism from the critical-theoretic perspectives of empowerment and emancipation, exploitation and marginalization, systems and structures, agency and technology, environment and sustainability, and ethics and ethos. On this basis, we infer 16 knowledge claims that the reviewed literature makes about digital nomadism; and we propose illustrative examples of future research questions for critical-theoretic IS research on digital nomadism.

Critical-Theoretic Review and Research Agenda on Digital Nomadism

The emerging phenomenon of digital nomadism attracts interest and scrutiny in public and scholarly discourse, provoking questions about normative concerns. Engaging with such questions, we conduct a literature review on digital nomadism informed by critical-theoretic IS research. We read and analyze the literature on digital nomadism from the critical-theoretic perspectives of empowerment and emancipation, exploitation and marginalization, systems and structures, agency and technology, environment and sustainability, and ethics and ethos. On this basis, we infer 16 knowledge claims that the reviewed literature makes about digital nomadism; and we propose illustrative examples of future research questions for critical-theoretic IS research on digital nomadism.
