Abstract

In this published dissertation, Anne von Streit considers the question of how the flexibilization of spatial and temporal working conditions of self-employed women and men in the internet industry affects their daily routine. As a geographer, she is not only interested in temporal, but also in spatial processes of debordering. This subdisciplinary border crossing leads to several insights. In this, indeed gender-sensitive, study with a complex and mainly qualitative design, the author is able to prove, from a gender-related perspective, both striking differences and homogeneities between the genders. However, she largely fails to explain and spell this out in more detail.
