Abstract
VILLEGAS-IRIARTE, Édgar and RUEDA-ORTIZ, Rocío. Social Web, travelers and digital utopias. Nómadas [online]. 2017, n.47, pp.47-63. ISSN 0121-7550.
This article analyzes travelers/bloggers who embody a double utopia: leaving the world of work, living to travel and traveling to live, and a "digital utopia", from which content about travel in social networks and blogs is created and shared. The text highlights the emergence of new ways of work and the creation of knowledge that involves free access and collaboration in various times and spaces in a global mnemonic system that foresees paths of memory and imagination. The article concludes that this utopia is a creative action but is paradoxically articulated to the logic of current capitalism and its technologies.
