學位論文形構南洋籍婚姻移民論述之分析 A Discourse Analysis of Taiwanese Theses and Dissertations on Southeast Asian Marriage-Based Immigrants

1990年代勞力短缺及婚配失衡現象日益嚴重，南洋籍勞工及女性婚姻移民入臺遂蔚為風潮。相較於單純付出勞力的行業勞工，婚姻移民與臺灣社會有著更為多樣且重大的聯結，而受到社會廣泛的凝視，藉由蒐羅與南洋籍婚姻移民相關的碩博士論文共702篇，本文運用論述分析法，探討學位論文對南洋籍婚姻移民進行論述建構的過程，研究結論如下： 1.參與論文產製的系所眾多，對南洋籍婚姻移民進行全面問題化的檢視。 2.論文主題未盡然符合學門屬性且重複性高，引發學術從眾行為。 3.對南洋籍婚姻移民形構出「社會論述」、「教育論述」、「醫療論述」及「批判論述」四種類型。 4.過度強調個人層面，政策制度面的研究較為不足。 5.以負面假設為主要檢證方向，然研究結果仍未有定論，而得以提供持續研究的合理性。 In the 1990s, an increasing labor shortage led to a surge in the number of Southeast Asian laborers in Taiwan. At the same time, a low marriage rate, caused by gender imbalances in the population, brought about a rapid increase in the number of female marriage-based immigrants. Compared to laborers, who simply provide labor services, marriage-based immigrants possess more diverse and significant links with Taiwanese society, thereby attracting substantial social scrutiny. In this study, 702 master’s degree theses and doctoral dissertations on topics related to Southeast Asian marriage-based immigrants in Taiwan were examined. Discourse analysis was conducted to explore the process of discourse development in master’s and doctoral studies related to Southeast Asian marriage-based immigrants. The research results were as follows: 1.Relevant theses and dissertations have been developed in numerous departments and graduate institutes, indicating an emphasis on and full-scale problematization of marriage-based immigrants in Taiwanese society. 2.The thesis and dissertation topics were not fully related to the attributes of academic disciplines, and the issues discussed were highly repetitive and showed academic herding behaviors. 3.Four categories of discourse regarding Southeast Asian marriage based immigrants have been formulated, specifically, social, educational, medical, and critical discourses. 4.The individual level has been excessively emphasized, whereas explorations regarding policy and institutions are insufficient. 5.The theses and dissertations investigated primarily proposed negative hypotheses for verification, but consistent conclusions were not derived
