I plan to finish a book manuscript that comprehensively examines the impact and changes in the Taiwanese society after the introduction of foreign workers for more than one decade. In terms of theoretical engagement and levels of analysis, this project will, on the one hand, participate in the debates of migration literature: I will examine the global in the local, combining the macro-structural analysis of migration processes and the micro-interactive exploration of identity politics. On the other hand, I will apply the theoretical concepts of “social boundary” and “boundary work” to examine the reconfiguration of cultural categorization and interpersonal relations during transnational encounters. Domestic employment contains two ironic characteristics: personalism and asymmetry. A sense of personal intimacy analogizes employment relations as family ties despite the substantial status difference between employers and domestic workers. Yet, interactions across social groups do not always undermine, but often enhance distinctions between them. The threat of mixing and ambiguity is countered by the daily ritual of boundary work. The households who employ migrant domestic workers therefore become a critical site for studying the identity politics in cotemporary Taiwan. This project will examine tripartite social boundaries along the lines of class, ethnicity/nationality, and gender, all of which constitute the identity of self/us based on the exclusion of Other/them. The experience and identification of Taiwanese new-rich employers present a significant dimension of the class formation, the transformation of gender and family relations, and the politics of ethnic differences外籍勞工家務雇用社會界線認同政治Migrant workerdomestic employmentsocial boundaryidentity politics
