本文批判性地审视了关怀和暴力，展示了它们是如何在新加坡移民工人的庇护所和诊所中被空间化和相互构成的。虽然有看似不相连的场所，但诊所和庇护所都被用来提供不同形式的护理，话语表现为保护和治疗的空间。然而，本文将通过对这些地方的外来家庭佣工进行人种学研究，论证庇护所和诊所也是实施和经历暴力的场所。事实上，尽管在雇主家中经历了不同形式的暴力，但本文将揭示家政工人如何遭受进一步的痛苦和身体伤害；与此同时，矛盾的是，他们得到了不同形式的照顾。基于社会和文化地理上的争论，特别是女权主义学术对关怀、暴力和身体的重视，本文将论证关怀和暴力在这些场所是相互构成的。此外，它将表明，新加坡的移民制度创造了一个空间，在这个空间里，人们所实行的关怀不能从暴力中抽象出来。除了共存之外，在这些地区，关怀和暴力被证明是密不可分的。
This paper critically interrogates care and violence, demonstrating how they are both spatialised and mutually constitutive within the shelters and clinics of Singapore for migrant workers. While there are seemingly disconnected sites, both clinics and shelters are utilized to provide different forms of care, discursively represented as spaces of protection and healing. Drawing on ethnographic research with migrant domestic workers at these sites, this paper will, however, argue that shelters and clinics are also spaces where violence is enacted and experienced. Indeed, despite having lived through different forms of violence in their employers’ homes, this paper will reveal how domestic workers were subjected to further suffering and bodily harm; all while, paradoxically, receiving different forms of care. Building on social and cultural geographic debates, and particularly on feminist scholarship that foregrounds care, violence, and the body, this paper will argue that care and violence are mutually constitutive in these sites. Moreover, it will show that the migratory regime in Singapore creates spaces where the care that is practiced cannot be abstracted from violence. Beyond coexisting, in these geographies care and violence are shown to be inextricably connected.
