特殊勞動者的性別政治：以女性視障按摩師為例
Special labors’ gender politics：female blind massage workers in Taiwan
摘要
在台灣視障按摩常與色情按摩混淆，女性視障按摩工作者經常要背負著「做黑的」污名。但由於社會歧視、雇主偏見、障礙者個人因素等，視障者不易進入按摩以外的行業，因此多數視障者仍舊選擇從事按摩工作。研究發現女性視障按摩師對工作污名的管理，乃是建立專業身份與認同。除了通過國家技術士檢定考試，始取得執業資格外，工作中的情緒勞動也是幫助女性視障者肯定按摩的重要途徑。按摩作為一項服務業含括多個勞動面向，除了體力勞動，情緒勞動也是重要面向。有別於明眼人仰賴視覺觀察，視障者需要靠視覺以外的訊息來進行情緒勞動。身體接觸和特殊的工作環境，也讓女性視障按摩師在勞動過程較易遭遇性騷擾。女性視障者為了避免性騷擾的困擾與威脅，她們建立一套預防和處理性騷擾的疆界管理策略。此外，各種場地的特性影響按摩師進行疆界管理的必要程度和所選擇的疆界管理策略。
並列摘要
In Taiwan, blind massage is often mistaken for erotic massage, and is thus stigmatized. Female blind massage workers have no other choice but to continue their current job due to social discrimination, employer prejudice and personal reasons. However, this research shows that female blind massage workers identify themselves as professional workers, since they have passed national examination and earned their certificates. Like other service jobs, massage includes both physical labor as well as emotional labor. Female blind massage workers have to do these work through senses than vision. Body contact and closed working environment sometimes made them vulnerable to sexual harassment；therefore, they have to manage their contact with clients carefully according to the working conditions.
