DIGITAL NOMADISM: MOTIVATIONS, JUSTIFICATIONS, AND PRACTICES OF NOMAD'S LIFE AND WORK STYLE - PART 1 This paper presents some of the results of the thesis being developed by the researcher in the Ph.D. in Sociology. This thesis focuses on the investigation of future and new forms of work in a connectionist world, through a specific analysis of the relationship between work, mobility, and technology by workers and entrepreneurs who call themselves “digital nomads”. The sociological relevance of the study of digital nomadism is related to the transformations of capitalism and labor in recent years. These transformations reveal the urgency of finding new solutions to old and new problems related to the world of work, which are also reflected in the processes of teaching and learning in a globalized world. The phenomenon of digital nomadism occurs within a scenario that encompasses the globalization of a networked society in a context of late modernity that reveals the precariousness of different aspects of life, intensified by risks and uncertainties, causing instability and liquidity in relationships. This scenario imposes the need for renegotiations in the different spheres of daily life, from which the search for reconciliation between the need for work and the desire for leisure is an example. Thus, the phenomenon of digital nomadism fits within the context of the transformations of capitalism and globalization, the weaknesses of late modernity and the effects of the risks and uncertainties of the present and the future. Digital nomadism, mediated through a relationship between work, technology, and mobility, is verified through the consequences and needs of the working population to deal with old and new problems, such as the precariousness of work, the performance of activities in a world every time more connectionist and swift, and the instability and liquidity of the relations constituted in this world.
