一個旅英臺灣女性的婚姻移民生命故事探究與啟示

The Life Story of a Taiwanese Female Intermarriage Migrant and Its Implications

本研究探討因婚姻而移民英國的臺灣女性（希羽）之生命故事，並藉由她在英國掙扎、奮鬥的生命故事來協助我們看見婚姻移民女性在臺灣可能面臨的困境。研究結果發現，生命故事探究的研究方法，是研究者與參與研究者雙贏的事業，生命故事的深耕也可以成就認知面向並豐富自我。藉著希羽生命故事的啟示，協助我們從跨文化的參照觀點，省思可能被視為理所當然的臺灣外籍新娘文化衝突與適應等議題。本研究以生命故事聯結個別與其它層級間的探究，時間上跨越現在與過去，所展現的生命張力讓教育研究呈現貼近生活的新風貌。研究結果能提供臺灣社會省思婚姻移民女性的處境，並反映多元文化教育議題。

This research aims to investigate the life story of Xiyu， a Taiwanese girl who married a British man and later migrated to England. This emic view of a Taiwanese girl’s intermarriage migration sheds light on our understanding of the current issues that female intermarriage migrants have struggled within the local community in Taiwan. Findings and implications are as follows. First， examining the life story is a “win-win” move involving cognitive and affective growth for both researchers and the researched as beneficiaries. Then， from cross-cultural perspectives， Xiyu’s story helps us to view the issues that might-have-been-taken-for-granted pertaining to the cultural conflicts and accommodation of the foreign brides in Taiwan. This life story cuts across time and space beyond the individual can plane. It makes a close link possible to the emic life and an educational research. Findings of this research also shed light on the issues of multicultural education regarding the female intermarriage migration in the local community in Taiwanese.
