The issue of ”foreign bride” in Taiwan has been noticed in the beginning of 1980s. The perspective of world system was applied in academia arena to understood the marriage between Taiwanese men and Southeast Asian women.This perspective emphasized structural inequality at global level and dominated relationship among core, semi-sphere and sphere in the world system. Later on the sequent empirical studies have focused on adaptive problems foreign spouses and their children confront in host society by the influence of the perspective of world system. As a result, the marriage immigrants were regarded as victims under the unequal system by victimization models instead of an agency. Although the phenomenon of marriage migration is the production of global stratification, the immigrants' autonomy and a capacity for self-directed when choosing to exodus can not be overlooked. Recently, there are publications appearing which emphasize the agency of female immigrants. However, the topics rarely refer to the life experience between public and private spheres, the analysis of power structure, and the impact of double consciousness. By reflecting dual power structure of ethnic relations, this research aimed to investigate how the marriage immigrants in Hualien Shoufong develop the third space to engage in the practice of everyday life and gradually break away dependent relations. They cross back and forth between private and public spheres by making good use of transnational cultural and social capitals. As being in guerrilla war, instead of a well planned strategy, they taking a trick or tactic in utilizing everyday rituals, network of relations, structures of expectation and negotiation to make the micro-subversion and mobility in social position possible. |
