公園、車上、小吃店：台灣文學中移民工的空間與性別觀點

In the Park, Car, and Food Stands: New Immigrants/Migrants Workers in Taiwan Literature: Focus on Space and Gender

本論文旨在討論現存台灣文學中關於女性移民工的書寫，觀察文本空間與情節，分析背後發聲的動機與性別觀點。在家屋之內，台灣雇主對於移民工的監視與凝視反映出台灣政府、媒體、社會對於外來他者的態度。在屋外的空間中，最多移民工角色現身的場所一種是公園、速食店這類開放性的公共空間，另一種則是族裔小吃店。台灣作家對於這些空間的再現充滿批判觀點但也有其盲點。最後筆者從性別觀點的呈現，發現一個是女性共同困境之表述；另一個則是以慾望和移動能力作為主體性的賦予。

This paper aims to explore the literary representations and writing of southeast Asian female immigrants and migrant workers by spaces and gender perspectives. Within the home, the surveillance and male gaze of Taiwanese employers towards immigrant workers reflect the attitudes of the Taiwanese government, media, and society towards outsiders. In outside spaces, the places where immigrant workers been written most frequently are public spaces such as parks and fast food restaurants, as well as ethnic snack shops. Taiwanese writers have portrayed these spaces with critical perspectives but also with some blind spots. Finally, through a gender perspective, this study reveals one common portrayal of female predicaments and another portrayal of subjectivity that emphasizes desire and mobility.
