The digital nomad idea of freedom is often a generalised and subjective notion of freedom that imagines a lifestyle and future where the tensions between work and leisure melt away. This paper finds that in practice, digital nomadism is not always experienced as autonomous and free but is a way of living that requires high levels of discipline and self-discipline. The research suggests that digital nomads often overlook the role of disciplining practices when first starting out, and do not foresee how working in sites of leisure and tourism might make managing a balance between work and non-work problematic. Longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork examines the extent of these disciplining practices and reveals that they are utilised to keep work and leisure time separate.

自由陷阱：数字游牧民和使用纪律做法来管理工作/休闲边界

数字游牧者的自由观念通常是一种笼统的主观自由观念，它想象着一种生活方式和未来，在那里工作与休闲之间的紧张关系逐渐消失。本文发现，在实践中，数字游牧并不总是以自治和自由的方式经历，而是一种需要高度纪律和自律的生活方式。研究表明，数字游牧民族刚开始时常常忽略纪律做法的作用，并且没有预见到在休闲和旅游场所工作会如何平衡工作和非工作问题之间的平衡。纵向民族志田野调查研究了这些纪律练习的范围，并揭示了它们是用来使工作时间和休闲时间分开的。
