Dataset about a Digital Ethnographic project on Platform Capitalism and Female Digital nomads

This dataset is part of an ongoing research project about the new ways in which remote labour allow the emergence of internet figures such as influencers and digital nomads to find a place among the female traveling niche to create profitable digital content to have an income from a passion rather from a traditional job.
This manuscript then, is of great relevance in Digital Anthropology studies, since it addresses how the new economic systems and the phenomenon of platform capitalism availed these women to have the status of “internet celebrities”, gaining certain level of acceptance, authority, and expertise in the world of digital travelers.
Thus, through a digital ethnographic methodology, this dataset helps to explore the creative practices and social interactions of traveling women, who converge in different virtual traveling communities on the socio-digital network Instagram, whose common purpose is to make a living by constantly being “on the pursuit of the wanderlust dream”, using the internet as an ally motivated by their entrepreneurial but adventurous ethos, their marketable image, and their desire for more authentic travel experiences. Although this research is still in progress, so far, the data obtained has been useful in understanding the imaginaries of living in a perfectly aesthetic online world in which the conventional ways of life are reshaped and rearranged to have a more dynamic life beyond office schedules, as these women seem to be on a permanent vacation even if they are being highly productive in what became their permanent but allegedly more flexible online job.

本数据集隶属于一项持续进行中的研究项目，该项目探讨远程劳动力如何为网络红人、数字游民等互联网人物提供新的路径，使他们能在女性旅行细分市场中占有一席之地，通过创作盈利性数字内容，从对热爱的追求中获得收入，而非传统职业。本论文在数字人类学研究中具有重要意义，因为它探讨了新型经济体系和平台资本主义现象如何赋予这些女性“网络名人”的定位，使她们在数字旅行领域获得一定程度的认可、权威和专业知识。因此，通过数字民族志方法，本数据集有助于探究旅行女性的创意实践和社会互动，她们在社交媒体Instagram上的不同虚拟旅行社区中汇聚一堂，共同的目标是通过不断追求“浪迹天涯的梦幻”来谋生，利用互联网作为其创业精神和冒险精神的盟友，借助其可销售的形象和对更加真实旅行体验的追求。尽管这项研究仍在进行中，但迄今为止收集到的数据已有助于理解这些女性在完美审美在线世界中的生活想象，在这个世界中，传统生活方式被重塑和重新排列，以实现超越办公室日程的更加动态的生活，尽管她们在成为其永久且据称更具灵活性的在线工作中表现出高度的生产力，她们似乎在永无止境的假期中。
