本文探討愛玉如何成為臺灣中南部原住民部落文化消費的符碼， 及其與國家治理和資本主義的關係。既有研究聚焦愛玉的植物特性、 加工技術與相關實務應用，整體而言，較為缺乏愛玉社會文化史耙梳， 也無法得知愛玉作為臺灣原生植物在臺灣社會的生產、消費和接受過 程。本研究透過日治時期與戰後報紙、檔案資料，例如《臺灣日日新 報》、《高砂族調查書》等，釐清愛玉從「野生植物」成為原住民「經 濟作物」歷史發展過程，並逐漸成為臺灣文化消費中，追求部落文化 「道地性」食物之一。研究發現是：首先，清朝統治時期，野生愛玉 已是原住民與漢人「以物易物」重要物資。日治時期，愛玉一方面是 古典文人歌詠對象；另一方面，野生愛玉被日本殖民者歸入「林業」 （林產物），作為殖民者在海外市場和博覽會中「展示臺灣」的重要 物資。其次，戰後愛...

This study addresses the significant gap in the entrepreneurship literature concerning the experiences of sexual minority groups, particularly Taiwanese lesbian entrepreneurs. The prevailing focus on heterosexual men has overshadowed the distinct motivations and dynamics in queer entrepreneurship. Drawing on Zelizer’s concept of relational work and...

Agrobiodiversity plays a crucial role in maintaining sustainable agricultural systems and supporting local livelihoods, but its integration into indigenous social institutions and cultures remains under-researched. We used a qualitative approach entailing in-depth interviews and participant observation to conduct research among the Rukai indigenous...

本研究以「同志家族企業」為例，來理解親密關係跟經濟活動 兩者之間如何互相連結。「家」經常被視為親密關係運作（愛最大） 的重要場域，而企業則是展現資本主義（自利）邏輯的組織，這兩 個非常不同的運作邏輯，如何共存在家族企業這個場域？本研究 從Zelizer的「做關係」（relational work）概念出發，透過訪談經營 事業的15對同志，來理解人們如何整合這兩個不同邏輯的世界， 讓經濟行動跟親密關係兩者可以適配地運行。 本研究發現：一、對於同志伴侶／配偶而言，創業活動是一 個重要的關係交換媒介，用來確認、鞏固、發展親密關係，也成 為解決親密關係困境的手段之一；二、透過「結清關係」的過程， 我們可以更清楚看到：親密關係與不同的經濟手段、媒介，是高 度相互連結在一起，而不是經濟行動鑲嵌在社會／親...

本研究探討霧臺魯凱族的農業實作與社會組織文化如何相互鑲嵌，進而構成道德經濟的一環。研究資料主要來自第一作者從2015年迄今，對19位族人的正式訪問、部落的日常生活觀察，以及2015–2017年間的親自農事耕作與記錄。 研究發現，霧臺魯凱社會道德經濟最重要的組織原則是「最小化風險」。在農耕實作上，透過混作栽培、輪耕、現地保存等方法來降低地力消耗、蟲害、天災的問題。在社會文化上，透過頭目貴族進行的資源重分配、族人之間的分享互惠，同時降低了部落最底層人的生存風險，以及自然災害發生的機率。

From the outset, this book presents us with thorough fieldwork research and a systematic, analytical examination from the field of critical political economy and beyond. It is highly suitable for students and scholars in the field of sociology , transnational study, and also social movements.

這是台灣勞動與社會政策研究協會執行長張烽益寫的書評，比較詳細介紹書籍各章的內容，並且比較從政治面向來解讀此書。

龔宜君教授以深厚的越南研究經驗，深度評論本書《全球生產壓力鏈：越南台商、工人與國家》。

潘美玲教授從本書的理論架構核心「全球生產壓力鏈」來評論此書，偏向理論探討。

吳介民教授從中國台商的角度來評論本書《全球生產壓力鏈：越南台商、工人與國家》，基本上是從越南、中國的政經議題來評論。

本書希望探討，台商在投資當地國（越南）面臨全球與在地的政經、社會文化關係時，他們如何與西方買主、當地的工人、政府、或過去自己的台灣歷史經驗協商、對抗、戰鬥，以便完成資本的歷史任務：資本積累；而越南當地的工人、社會、國家，在面對全球化生產結構下的跨國資本時，會以何種方式來回應、挑戰台商的觀念、作法和權力。

本文探討男男情慾按摩中的兩個面向：男師如何透過身體工作，滿足客人 的需求，在此過程中，親密關係如何被感知與「體現」。透過深度訪談 34 位男同志按摩師的勞動經驗，本文發現：在身體工作的面向，男師會透過按摩技藝，營造與邊緣身體的性親密關係，也劃出與消費者之間的界線；在跨進親密關係的面向，則因勞動過程中與客人身體親密 「感觸」所產生的情感連結，讓男男按摩成為具體的關愛實作。透過分析身體工作與親密關係的勞動過程，讓我們看到男男按摩中所涉及的身體╱情感互動，體現男同志性消費文化中的親密「劃界」與「跨界」。

In the past few years there is a wave of online pubic writing organized by different academic communities in Taiwan, which is a unique phenomenon compared with online public sociological writings in other countries. By using Burawoy’s four different types of academic writings, I define this wave of online academic popular writings as a kind of publ...

本文從Bourdieusian女性主義角度出發，以男性家暴諮商經驗為 例，說明男性內部的階級「差異」如何再製，以及階級權力的運作邏 輯。家暴經常被視為是「工人階級男性」才有的實踐，透過此凝視，中 產階級得以維持其優勢與正當性；但是如果「中產階級」男性被冠上家 暴的罪名，就會被認為像工人階級男性一樣無知，其原本受人尊敬的階 級特質則會因社會場域的轉移，成為讓人詬病的原因，因此這類男性會 經歷「衝突／矛盾」的權力關係。透過此分析，本文挑戰單一、刻板的 家暴男性形象，跳脫本質化的階級分析，用以解釋中產階級特質對家暴 男性既是「資產」（聲望）也是「負債」（污名），並非是定著的特 質。

Research on domestically violent men typically takes an oppositional logic of gender. While the significance of class in researching domestically violent men is identified, class and gender are often treated as separate entities that do not complicate each other. Drawing upon group observations and in-depth interviews, this paper identifies how int...

Based on two of the present authors’ previous research (Tang and Wang 2011a,b), this article seeks to examine the interactions between abused Vietnamese migrant wives and their husbands’ families. Specifically, we explore the structural conditions that enable them to or forbid them from actively negotiating dominant social values in order to furthe...

STCW 公約等歷史資料中，分析出臺灣海員文化的動態形式。 本文認為，在臺灣航運界特有的歷史脈絡中，場域結構、意識型態、父 權體制與陽剛氣質等因素，都是影響臺灣海員文化發展的社會條件，而本文 最大的貢獻就是拼湊出臺灣海員研究中長期被遺忘的「非正式體制」 。 關鍵字：商船船員、父權體制、兄弟情誼、陽剛氣質 Abstract Over the past few decades, the studies on Taiwanese seafarers have only been focused on economic issues without paying attention to the impact of the culture of Taiwanese seafarers , cultu...

This paper explores how a liberal democratic state keeps migrant workers in temporary status by preventing their permanent settlement. Using Taiwan’s guestworker policy as an example, we argue that through expertise discourses and strategies of “governance at a distance” involving private sector, the Taiwan government has formulated policies and im...

The Houbihu Demonstration Area (HbDA) in southern Taiwan, a no-take marine protected area (MPA) although not under the name of MPA, was established in 2004. The establishment was promoted by the joint force of the local tourism industry and the Kenting National Park (KNP) Headquarters. However, the HbDA is functioning mainly for tourism purposes in...

Since the early 1990s several million men and women from Southeast Asia's lower socioeconomic classes have migrated to East Asia with a temporary worker visa or a spousal visa. This article is based on five years of ongoing fieldwork in migrants' communities of origin in rural Vietnam and in places of destination in Taiwan, South Korea and Japan. T...

Since the government—under its ideology of neoliberalism—would prefer not to expand the welfare system to cover people with care needs, people need to fi nd alternate methods to tackle the caredefi cit problem. Most of the care workload is placed on family members, especially female ones. However, diff erent classes have diff erent resources to cop...

This paper examines marriage migration in Asia through the lens of transnationalism. We pull together results from various studies we conducted on marriage migration in Vietnam and Taiwan between 2004 and 2010, using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Our main contention is that marriage migration constitutes a significant vector of soci...

Using interview data from 16 abused Vietnamese transnational wives and 6 male abusers in Taiwan, this paper seeks to understand how these immigrant women negotiate the Taiwanese patriarchal family system, and in the end empower themselves to find ways out of the shadow of domestic violence. We contend that the women's relationships with the patriar...

本文採建制民族誌的研究取向，探討有哪些結構性因素，使得一群婚移台灣的越南女性，在面臨家庭暴力時難以脫離困境？台灣雖然已經有「家庭暴力防治法」，相關人員依法必須協助她們走出暴力，然而我們檢視「法律運作」的過程，訪談越南婦女和台灣丈夫，佐以相關人士的說法和文本資料，卻發現從最初不知該如何求助，到進入求助體系，最後縱使取得家暴保護令，受暴婦女在每一個階段中，都面臨了結構困境。從結構交織的觀點出發，我們認為在性別、國族與階級的交織作用下，父權國家在法律運作以及福利服務輸送的過程當中，所形成的制度性暴力，是越南婚移婦女無法順利走出家暴困境的關鍵。

本研究探討面對跨國婚姻衝突的新移民女性在台灣的社會結構下，如何在不同的婚姻階段與父權家庭結構討價還價，在有限的選擇中，找到自己生命的出路。透過訪談十六位越南籍女性配偶與三位男性配偶，我們發現，台越兩國性別文化的差異，表現在跨國婚姻夫妻對彼此性別角色期待的落差，導致家庭內部與夫妻的衝突。受暴的新移民越南女性積極爭取外出工作，結果雖然讓新移民女性漸獲充權，卻可能導致致夫妻雙方的衝突更為升高、暴力加劇，甚至婚姻的破裂。我們發現，對於這群女性來說，外出工作並不只是經濟理由，她們透過就業的機會，逐步地增進個人資源，並改變與夫家互動方式與權力關係。研究同時發現，兩個台灣特殊的社會結構因素：家庭暴力防治法與中小企業為主的市場結構，有利於這群女性外出工作，最後成為能走出婚姻暴力的主要力量。

This paper discusses the historical development of Taiwan's immigration policy since 1949, the demographic changes in the past two decades that shaped it, and its impact on female marriage migrants and migrant workers. Taiwan's current immigration policy is based on three ideologies: the patriarchal jus sanguinis principle, population quality, and...

This paper explores the transnational activities between Taiwan and Vietnam initiated by ordinary people from below. I will analyze three types of people, including large-scale Taiwanese capital investors and their hired Taiwanese managers, small Taiwanese capital investors, and Vietnamese females marrying Taiwanese, to elaborate on the differences...

East Asian nations have become increasingly diverse in their ethnic composition since the 1990s. A large proportion of recent immigrants consists of women from China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines, who migrated following their marriage to male citizens from South Korea and Taiwan. To study this new group of foreign residents, the...

Taiwanese transnational capital emerged in the mid-1980s, and its importance is now widely recognized by Taiwanese scholars in various disciplines. There has been an increasing interest in investigating the nature of this newly emerging transnational capital, which is considered to be different from the Western or Japanese forms. Studies of Taiwane...

This paper discusses how Taiwanese overseas investment creates an ethnic Chinese skilled labor market in Asia. Low costs, no language barrier, and the cultural "lived Taiwan experience" are the benefits. Through three different channels-internal corporate transfer, social networks, and placement agencies-skilled labor from the People's Republic is...

Taiwan holds the Asian record for the proportion of families that involve so-called ‘foreign brides’. Marriage migration has brought close to half a million immigrant spouses into the country over the past decades. Most of these women come from Mainland China, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines. This paper discusses how the Taiwanese state and...

This paper explores how contradictory social structures influence power relations between “Vietnamese brides” and their Taiwanese family members. By analyzing two aspects of interaction between “Vietnamese brides” and their husbands’ families, i.e., how the families require them to integrate into Taiwanese society and what strategies they employ to...

跨國企業對外投資的影響，除了經濟面外，較少探討的是對於在地族 群關係的重塑。本研究根據越南台商工廠內的多族群（台、陸、越、華） 分工現象，探討形塑各族群在工廠中職階分佈的因素，以及這種分佈下， 族群與職位流動的狀況。過去文獻上討論的「同質社會再生產」 、 「由下而 上的族群適配」說法，雖然可以讓我們理解族群在企業組織的上階層或下 階層的分佈與流動，但卻有其侷限性，特別是在解釋企業的中階職位流動 與族群之間的關係。本研究發現，除了此兩個觀察角度外，人力資本論也 是形塑這樣分佈與流動的主因之一。在台商工廠內部的族群升遷流動，會 隨著此三種因素的綜合考量與時間的變動而變化。

本研究以越南─臺灣之間的跨國勞工移動過程為例，來探討制度設計如何影響國際的勞工移動過程、移動的費用，以及哪些人從此中獲利。我們認為，兩國的仲介利益團體試圖去影響各自政府的政策與制度設計，加上臺灣與外國政府之間外交關係，形成了臺灣的客工計畫與禁止雇主轉換的規定，這些因素綜合起來，形成目前移工的兩個困境：高額仲介費用以及惡劣的勞動條件。移工在臺灣的工作所得都因為此制度的設計，而被臺灣、越南雙方的其他人士拿走。

Using fieldwork data from Taiwanese-owned factories in Malaysia and Vietnam, the authors argue that the labour regime based on ethnic division of labour is a function of the degree of proletarianization, which depends on the state's policies and one's social capital. State policy protects native Malay and Vietnamese, and excludes the rights of migr...

本文探討國內婚姻移民研究上重要但卻少人研究的議題：為何台灣男子要跨海結婚？我們以台─越的婚姻關係為例來指出，一般論點認為出國結婚的台灣男子社經地位較低，在台婚姻市場屈居弱勢，因而轉向海外娶「越南新娘」。但除外在的社經條件、國際政經不平等的因素外，我們要討論另一常被忽略的文化因素：傳統男尊女卑的觀念。在出國娶妻的台灣男性心中，認為順從是妻子應有的表現，因此透過跨國婚姻中與妻子的「權力—順從」關係，他們的男性氣魄(masculinity)得以受肯定、得到強化。 The phenomenon of “foreign brides” is one of the international migration flows in our globalization times. In both Japa...

According to the reports in the past decade, some Asian subcontractors, mainly Taiwan, Hong Kong and Korea transnational corporations, tend to be labor abusive in their overseas investment destinations like China or Southeast Asia. Taking Vietnam as an example, this paper raises questions as to why Taiwanese transnational companies can control work...

Taiwanese-managed factories in Vietnam treat workers better than in China. This paper seeks to explain this unexpected phenomenon. Four factors are seen to contribute to this difference: the two country's household registration systems, the living arrangements of workers in these factories, the behavior of the two nations' trade unions and, crucial...

本文研究目的在於解析推動當前台越跨國婚姻的發展動力。透過對於台灣與越南兩地的跨國婚姻仲介組織分析，我們發現，跨國婚姻仲介在眾多參與者的努力下，建構了一個新興的跨國婚姻市場，在台越的跨國婚姻過程中，與婚姻相關的活動都是市場活動，所有的行為都指向追求最大利潤的經濟行為；台灣與越南跨國婚姻數量如此龐大，與此完整的婚姻仲介運作機制息息相關。

In this article, we attempt to place the issue of international marriage in an institutionalized profit-oriented social context, which is described as “the commodification process”. The starting point included measuring the scale of the international marriage market in Taiwan. Socio-demographic change in Taiwan and Viet Nam has created a market for...

The evolution of Taiwan's class structure over the past half century has never been fully explored. A few Taiwanese sociologists, using a status attainment model,' have found that socio-economic status is highly correlated with educational attainment and occupational status.2 They have also found that the class structure is ethnically skewed, with...

This article seeks to explore the influence of social capital on the decision to hire Chinese professionals to work for Taiwanese companies in Vietnam. We argue that this employment and migration pattern is mainly determined by the social capital of the Chinese professional transient, and is not based solely on economic calculation as push-pull eco...

本文探討在當前的國際勞動力移動潮流下，另外一種形式的跨國勞動力移動，也就是跨國婚姻所造成的女性勞動力移動。來台灣的移民包含了兩類，一種是「外籍勞工」，另外一類則是因為台灣的社會階層化而造成的跨國婚姻移民。這樣的婚姻移民會影響到台灣本身的勞動市場，本文認為外籍新娘在台灣的勞動市場一方面扮演了全國經濟的補充性勞動力，另方面則扮演了新生勞動力再生產的角色。

In this article, I discuss why two ethnic groups in Taiwan, "Taiwanese" and "Mainlanders," generally choose different paths to upward mobility. I outline the nature of Taiwan's political and economic structure and how that structure relates to differences in educational attainment (and thus differences in occupation) between these two ethnic groups...
