‘Re-coupling site’ of social media and the workplace in digital nomadism
We observe that a new, minor genre of resistance has emerged among female worker vloggers.

Their workplaces constitute the central source of their daily vlog production. We develop a concept of ‘re-coupling site’ to explore how these female vloggers transform conventional workplac…
