探讨跨国家庭成员的情感经历的研究往往突出了因跨国移徙而彼此分离的母亲和子女的情感痛苦。以加纳为例，本文复杂化这幅图片，显示如何在加纳跨国家庭的父母和孩子有不同的情感反应，他们的分离，其中父母表示比他们的孩子少的痛苦的情况。他们对亲子关系目标的不同论述以及他们在实现这些目标中的能动性影响了他们的情绪表达。本文认为，我们需要关注不同社会地位的社会行动者的意识形态和代理感，以了解跨国移民的方式结构的感觉。
Studies exploring the emotional experiences of members of transnational families have often highlighted the emotional suffering of mothers and children separated from one another as a result of transnational migration. Taking Ghana as a case example, this paper complicates this picture by showing how parents and children in Ghanaian transnational families have different emotional responses to their separation, in which the parents express less suffering over the situation than their children. Their different discourses about the goals for parent-child relationships and their sense of agency in achieving these goals affect their expression of emotions. This paper argues that we need to pay attention to the ideologies and sense of agency of social actors in different social positions in order to understand the ways that transnational migration structures feelings.
