Digital nomadism in liquid modernity: a case study of the Madeira Islands
This article explores the phenomenon of digital nomadism through the lens of Zygmunt Bauman's "liquid modernity," examining its socioeconomic, cultural, and ethical dimensions. Focusing on the case study of Madeira Island, the first European digital nomad hub, the article delves into the demographic profile of digital nomads, their impact on local economies, and the challenges posed to urban development and social cohesion. It discusses the opportunities for economic growth through digital nomadism while analyzing the potential for socio-cultural inequalities and the disruption of local communities. The article calls for a balanced approach in policy and urban planning, emphasizing the need for strategies that accommodate the fluid nature of modern work paradigms and ensure the inclusivity and well-being of transient and resident populations. The article contributes to the discourse on digital nomadism's sustainability and ethical implications in contemporary society by integrating theoretical perspectives and empirical data.
