摘要

本文之寫作動機始於當筆者閱讀文化人類學家之研究成果，發現其看待「法規範」眼光與研究取徑，與法律學者大不相同，即引發筆者之研究興趣；立於法律學門，筆者希望可以從法律學門、與法學以外的社會科學之不同看待「法規範」的方式，據此進一步對於日前正方興未艾之法律學科整合研究，企圖討論法律學科整合研究之法理。在本文中，筆者選擇外籍配偶做為實證題村，希望能籍此一課題，運用法律文化研究理論(Cultural Legal Study)從看似不相關的外籍配偶與身分法（或稱家庭法／家族法）之連結，探勘在身分法中如何呈現婚姻與家庭之圖像。不同於向來身分法是以法制史、比較法等研究方法所進行之研究，本文希望能以法律人類學、法律文化研究等理論，對於拓深身分法學之研究方法論、與從事身分法之法律人類學之學科整合研究、以及身分法之實證研究與在地法律文化之考察，做一拋磚引玉之貢獻。

The discourse of Family Law, including the doctrines, interpretation, legal practice and scholarship, all define and construct the model of marriage, family and relationships. In this manner, Family Law is not a statute for resolving disputes among family members over the control, protection and custody of specific family members. Therefore, in this article, Family Law is understood to be not merely legal doctrines, but rather, a cultural declaration of morality, of legitimization of intimacy and of modernization in a specific social context-more precisely, within the context in contemporary Taiwan. Through considerable cultural analysis on Family Law, especially in reading Family Law as an ethnographic object, this essay will provide a different view to link the distinct, but related legal scholarships: Family Law, Law and Social Movement, Feminist Jurisprudence, and Marriage Immigrant, to reconsider the intricacy of laws, ideas, techniques, models, knowledge, and information mobilizing in this transnational era.
