"Since 1980s, there have been a large number of 'marriage-based immigrants' moving from Southeast Asia ( Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, and Cambodia) and Mainland China to Taiwan.Current studies on transnational marriage in Taiwan focus mainly on two fields: one on population movement; the other on adult education. Nevertheless, there is limited research concerning the New Female Immigrants appeared in literary works. This essay explores the characterization of different new female immigrants in Pepe Wu's (吳柳蓓) The Moving Skirt (2010),Xinyi Zeng's (曾心怡)Nina: Sister-In-Law from Southern Ocean (2008), and Wanwen Lin's ( 林婉文 ) Shine with Your Impurity ( 2013 ) , including the aphasia mother, sweet wife and neat daughter-in-law, and modern 'madwomen.'I focus on the counterbalance and negotiation between the roles these characters play in the family and the patriarchal authority in a different culture, and also reflect upon the relationship between the characterization and the field of the writers dwell in." |
