台灣跨國戀情中性別與國籍的身分溝通

希望成為以民主化典範的台灣一直致力於改善原住民、移民與同性戀等少數族群的人權和社會地位。雖然法規與社會福利等等的官方制度已越來越完善，但台灣社會的潛規則與刻板印象仍是弱勢族群取得公平待遇的一大障礙。本論文旨在研究越南女性在台灣尋求愛情時，所遇到的「越南新娘」障礙。透過剛畢業的碩士學生Bun Cha（越南炭烤豬肉米線）、女同性戀語言學生Dua Hau（西瓜）和藍領移工Yingtao（櫻桃）上述三位越南移民的故事，本研究發現新一代越南移民女性與台灣第一代越南新娘相比，是來自更富裕的社會經濟階層，但在台灣，人們秉持舊印象卻持續困擾著新一代的越南女性，構成難以跨越的挑戰。移民來台灣的女性，往往在國籍和性別兩種身分交織互動中建構其認同感。對越南女性而言，它們的交集就是越南新娘的烙印。她們採用哪些溝通策略來克服這身份認同的障礙？本研究裡面的女性不僅致力於將負面印象轉化為正面，而且為了避免壓力，刻意弱化正面意象的強度。本研究同時發現，和異性的關係中，兩種身份認同必須維持某種均衡，過強的國籍認同往往會導致防禦性反應，而傷害兩性關係的發展。

Known for a paragon of democratization, Taiwan has worked hard to improve human rights and social status of identity minorities, such as aboriginals, immigrants, and homosexuals. While formal institutions have improved gradually, informal ones still prevail to impose barriers for the disadvantageous groups to fair better. This research examines how Vietnamese females encountered the stereotypes of Vietnamese brides in seeking romance in Taiwan. In navigating the stories of three Vietnamese female migrants Bun Cha, Dua Hau – a lesbian woman and Yingtao who come from different backgrounds of Master student, language student and blue-collar migrant worker, the research found the new generation of Vietnamese migrant women come from much better growing socio-economic background in contrast to the first generations of Vietnamese brides in Taiwan. This implies increasing challenges to potential transnational relationships between Vietnamese and Taiwanese in future due to large identity gaps existing. National and gender identities often intertwined with each other and play important roles in identity construct of Vietnamese migrant women in Taiwan. They have been accumulated through the women’s growing up process, however, Taiwan provides a challenging context of the Vietnamese brides' stereotypes targeting at heterosexual (looking) Vietnamese women that inactivates these identities and the women’s online and offline strategies to communicate their new identity. The women not only negotiate negative stereotypes to positive ones, but also turn some over-positive stereotypes to fewer positive ones in avoiding pressure. Whilst in gender identity, the results suggest that the women adopt gender roles in finding balance in heterosexual relationships, a stronger level of national identity tends to lead to more defensive reactions that could harm or reverse the development of the relationship.
