他鄉有伴：新竹和風酒吧小姐的親密勞動

在1980年代以高科技產業作為經濟政策的發展之下，新竹科學園區吸引了日本企業的進駐與合作。日本海外駐在員單身赴任的親密需求，催生了新竹市舊城區的和風酒吧產業。和風酒吧使生活在他鄉的駐在員回到熟悉的「原鄉情境」，飲用習慣的日式酒食，以日語聊天唱歌，在談天與玩樂中釋放緊繃的工作壓力。酒吧小姐還提供跨越和風酒吧的內與外的親密勞動，供給日本駐在員身心上的情／慾需求、日常生活上的照護與人在他鄉的支持與陪伴，提供了宛如家庭再生產般的功能。這些難以估量工作範圍與商品價值的親密勞動，有著看似「無償」的私人付出，即是親密商品化後具有的特殊性質。跨越公／私領域的工作內涵，創造出以禮物交換獲得商品利益的經濟模式，在親密性的交換中培養彼此的私人關係，同時也賦予客人以消費作為回報店家的義務。
