摘要：

新文化地理学视角下的空间不仅具有物质属性,也是社会关系的容器。家庭常被置于社会学的论述范畴,同时,家庭也以空间形式出现,并表征着家庭成员间复杂、细微的权力结构。论文以广东罗定市华石镇中越跨国家庭的家空间为分析样本,以家庭资源中的经济资源、情感资源和社会资源为分析框架,并结合家空间的实用性、装饰性和防御性等特点,考察越籍妻子在家空间中的占用、功能划分与使用、美学装饰,以及日常空间实践中自我赋权的方式与机制。研究发现：① 为家庭提供主要经济收入的越籍妻子在夫妻权力结构中占有优势,在家空间的设置和安排中持有更多的话语权;② 越籍妻子将家空间视为自我情感与认同的表达渠道,通过装饰家居环境以建立起对家空间的控制;③ 由于社会资源的缺乏,越籍妻子在公共空间中受到排斥,家空间成为越籍妻子回避邻里交往的防御性堡垒。研究认为女性跨国婚姻移民在家空间中获得了施展个人权力的契机,但其权力仅限于家空间内,现阶段难以拓展至家以外的更大区域。研究结果既是对家的地理学中性别话题的补充,亦是对它的拓展与深化。

Abstract:

From the perspective of new cultural geography, space not only carries material attributes but also represents a container of social relations. Family is usually discussed in terms of ethics and regarded as an ethical organism. However, family always takes the form of spatial entity that reflects a complex and subtle power structure among its members. Using the framework of the economic, emotional, and social components of family resources as well as the practical, decorative, and defensive characteristics of home space, this study examined how Vietnamese wives of the transnational families in Huashi Town, Luoding City, Guangdong Province practice self-empowerment in everyday life by occupying, dividing, decorating, and utilizing their home space. The study found that: 1) The Vietnamese wives who contribute most to their household incomes have more power than their husbands in making decisions about the set-up and arrangement of the home space. 2) The Vietnamese wives view their home space as a channel of expressing self-emotion and identity and establish control of the space by decorating the home. 3) Being excluded from the public space due to the lack of social resources, the Vietnamese wives use their home space as a defensive fortress to avoid socializing with neighbors. It is suggested that while women in transnational marriages are able to exert power in their home space, such power is confined within the home and difficult to expand to the outside world. The study contributes to existing literature of cultural geography by deepening the current understanding of gender in home space.
