臺中東協廣場外籍移工休閒研究

過去關於臺灣族裔地景研究大多聚焦在北臺灣，本研目的試圖跳脫北臺灣框架，對「臺中東協廣場」進行民族誌的族裔地景深描，同時進一步地探究地景內部印尼社福移工休閒與其移工休閒阻礙。研究結果發現，假日的臺中東協廣場四處都充滿著移工休閒場景，儼然成為東南亞族裔休閒地景，也因地處臺灣中心的地理位置，成為各地移工相約聚會的中繼站，同時也使得東協廣場內移工國籍多元，不愧對其「小東南亞」的美名，承襲過去第一廣場的歷史脈絡，東協廣場內以臺灣籍商家居多，更為臺灣開啟了一道多元文化交流的窗口，從臺中市政府對東協廣場極具階級凝視暴力與商業導向的管理政策，我們也看見了族裔地景脆弱性、易滲透性與開放性的特質；內部的移工休閒主要可分為購物、社交、飲食三大類，這些休閒活動對在台移工而言，有著族裔身份認同、社交網絡在地化、重拾自尊的功用；本研究對印尼社福移工進行訪談，加深了解移工休閒脈絡及休閒阻礙，發現印尼社福移工個人阻礙中包含了「身份的合法性」、「宗教」、「賺取加班費」、人際阻礙則是朋友間互相的休假時間無法配合、結構性阻礙則為「休假天數少」、「缺少個人隱私空間」、「休息時間破碎」、「被剝奪的自主權」。
