摘要 Abstract
奠基於長期的田野調查研究資料,本文旨在討論2005年後中國閩北國境邊區中遷移模式的變化、此變化隱含的性別和遷移主體的建構型態、以及這些模式和型態與晚近鉅變中的中台兩國政經形貌與國境管理形式之間的關係。
本研究的發現如下:一,源於上述鉅變中的政經形貌與國境管理形式,已婚女性逐漸取代未婚男性成為助益家戶經濟的跨境勞動者;二,「假結婚」是她們的首要跨境途徑,其入境後的工作形式則逐漸集中於情慾勞動;三,上述的新興跨境打工模式深刻影響了閩北國境邊區的道德經濟實作,並具體表現在性別角色分工和性別意識形態的層面上;四,與國外有關跨境母職的研究發現有異,不少女性報導人(尤以從事情慾勞動者為然)認為母職是可以拋棄的身分和志業。最後,透過上述的討論,本文希冀對於當代人類社會中經濟活動、情感和慾望、以及社會倫理間互相交織的狀況提出更多元的理解。

關鍵詞:閩北、國境邊區、情慾勞動、道德經濟、跨境母職
The author uses long-term ethnographic research data to examine changing transmigration patterns along the northern border of Fujian province, modes of constructing gender and sexual subjectivities implicit in migratory patterns, and how these patterns and modes respond to recent crossstrait politico-economic configurations and border control mechanisms. A second goal is to contribute to our understanding of potential links, junctures, and ruptures within relationships among a given society’s economic activities, expressions of affects, and moral order. I offer four theses: (a) due to transforming politico-economic configurations and border-control mechanisms across the Taiwan Strait during the past decade, married women in northern Fujian province (Minbei) have replaced single men as the largest group of migrants to Taiwan; (b) the majority of these women enter Taiwan via fraudulent marriages, and an increasing number are thereafter engaged in what I refer to as the “labor of sex and romance”; (c) the first two factors are deeply affecting moral economy practice and understanding, especially in terms of gender-based labor divisions and ideology; and (d) unlike previous researchers of migration and transnational motherhood, I found that Minbei border-crossing informants treat the identity and profession of motherhood in
an emotionally distant manner. 

Keywords: northern Fujian province (Minbei), border zone, labor of sex and romance, moral economy, transnational motherhood
