婚禮籌備過程之世代、性別與權力協商

Generation, Gender, and Power Negotiation in Wedding Preparations

指導教授 : 孫中興

摘要


甫歷經百年婚潮,掀起社會對於婚禮關注的新高峰。本研究以「婚禮籌備過程」為一動態時間軸,聚焦於各行動者之互動關係,透過深度訪談並以家庭為「單元」之樣本蒐集方式,勾勒及對照各受訪者之言說,並以世代、性別及權力協商為分析視角,欲回答:新人間、代間及姻親家庭間各行動者如何詮釋他們參與婚禮籌備過程之經驗?經由什麼樣的權力互動過程使得蘊含不同行動者期待的婚禮大事成為可能?本研究發現:「維持和諧」是婚禮籌備互動過程之前題。婚禮籌備過程迥異於日常權力樣態,由於婚事有著不能破局的壓力,行動者間不能隨意終止合作關係,使得婚禮籌備過程中每位行動者的能動性受到一定程度的約束,無法自由地依照個體期待運用角色權力執行決策。各行動者皆極力避免甚至刻意忽略衝突的存在,導致婚禮籌備過程展現出與一般權力關係截然不同的風貌。另一方面,各行動者間權責分明地落實分工,無論是姻親家庭間依循傳統婚俗規範劃分權責範圍;代間依照新興儀式與傳統儀式進行分工;新人基於對儀式想像的性別差異而各司其職,皆展現出明確的分工樣態。最後,儀式實作雖須由新人完成,卻不盡然是他們自由意志的貫徹,更可能是為了達成長輩期望以及得到社會認可的方式。雙方家長不斷重申尊重新人主體性,但除了在婚紗攝影階段新人能充分擁有決策權,其餘各儀式階段長輩擁有的傳統詮釋權及經濟支配權仍持續發揮影響。

The phenomenon of marriage boom in 2011 raised social concerns for wedding to a new height. This research focuses on the analysis of how in-laws, inter-generations and newlyweds interpret their own experiences when running wedding ceremonies. It does so by setting the wedding preparations as a timeline, focusing on the interaction of actors in wedding preparations, conducting in-depth interviews to explore the narrative of each participant. At the same time this research also applies the perspectives of different generations, gender, and power struggles to show how they accomplished consensuses in their own wedding preparations. This research found that “harmony maintaining” is the premise during the interaction of wedding preparations. Differing from normal power relationship, a break down or failure of a wedding is unacceptable. The participation of each actor involved cannot be terminated at will. Thus the involvement of each actor in wedding preparations will contain constraints in that they cannot make decisions based on their own wills alone. Under this circumstance, each actor will stave off the confrontation or ignore it deliberately to ensure that the wedding will be run smoothly. On the other hand, each actor does his/her part well with minimal intervention to one another’s domains: In-laws set the duties by the orthodox wedding gender dogmas, inter-generations divide their obligations based on the features of fashion and tradition, newlyweds do their own part based on gender division of labor. Finally, ritual practice will be run down by newlyweds with the thought of meeting expectations of parents or getting social recognitions, rather than their own personal expectations. Despite both parents empathizing their respect to the will of the new couples, they only really make their own decisions at the stage of wedding photography, and leave all other rituals intervened by the authorities of orthodox and financial dispose of their parents.
