Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: • Investigates new social-spatial configurations produced by non-metropolitan collaborative workspaces (CWSs). • Analyzes work and life through CWSs as both image representations and material practices. • Conducts digital ethnography on four CWSs with mixed quantitative and qualitative methods. • Discovers few alternatives to the urban-dominated work-life imaginaries, but spaces for negotiations exist. • Contributes to discussions of micro-politics on rural development amid digital transformation.
