Open lecture: Lifestyle mobilities: Past, present and future

Lifestyle mobilities refers to ways of life oriented around ongoing geographic mobility. A decade ago lifestyle mobilities emerged as a theoretical approach for understanding lifestyles that blur the borders of tourism, work and migration. Some example phenomena that can be considered within a lifestyle mobilities framing include: Vanlife, long-term ocean cruising, grey nomadism, world schooling, lifestyle travel, global nomadism and digital nomadism. This presentation first provides a history of lifestyle mobilities and how it is analytically distinct, before turning to the state-of-the-art in lifestyle mobilities research through a focus on digital nomadism. The presentation’s emphasis is on lifestyle mobilities’ relevance for tourism, its infrastructure and politicisation – via geopolitics, geoarbitrage and gentrification, and the need for greater research diversity. Finally, the presentation maps a future research agenda centered on tensions of transitioning out, precarity, and emplacement in lifestyle mobilities research.
