SES-0802721Myra FerreeHae Yeon ChooUniversity of Wisconsin MadisonThis dissertation research studies the interactive process of boundary-making between citizens and non-citizen migrant women in South Korea. Conceptualizing citizenship as a relational process, the study uses ethnographic data to look at how the boundary of citizenship is negotiated and contested through discourse and everyday interaction among locally grounded actors. The research focuses on variations in citizenship claims as framed by three different groups of Filipina migrant women: labor migrants, working in a factory town in the female-dominated light manufacturing industry; marriage migrants, living in rural communities with their South Korean husbands; and entertainers, working at clubs on an American military base. This project asks (1) what discursive frames are being utilized by Korean nation-state and social actors in the practice of their integration efforts for migrant women; (2) how migrant women themselves reproduce, challenge and/or resist these frames; and (3) how boundaries of citizens and non-citizens are negotiated in the interactions between them.The findings of this study will contribute to understanding citizenship not only as a formal status but as an interactional process that creates boundaries between citizens and non-citizens. The study adds to the understanding of international migration by bringing in gender as an integral part of incorporation of migrants in the local communities, and considers boundaries and marginality as simultaneously social, political and geographic. Examining citizenship practices at the margins in South Korea can also shed light on similar processes at work in other nation-states. It may help policy makers in national and local governments, migrant women?s advocates, service organizations for migrant women to create more informed policies based varying statuses and experiences of migrant women.

SES-0802721Myra Ferreehae Yeon Yeon Choimonity of Wisconsin Madisonthis论文研究研究公民与韩国非公民移民妇女之间边界建设的互动过程。将公民身份概念化为关系过程，该研究使用人种学数据来研究如何通过话语和本地扎根的参与者之间的话语和日常互动来谈判和竞争公民身份的边界。该研究的重点是由三个不同的菲律宾移民妇女构成的公民索赔的差异：劳动移民，在女性主导的轻型制造业的工厂小镇工作；婚姻移民，与韩国丈夫一起生活在农村社区；和演艺人员，在美国军事基地的俱乐部工作。该项目询问（1）韩国民族国家和社会行为者在为移民妇女融合的实践中使用了哪些话语框架； （2）移民妇女自己如何繁殖，挑战和/或抵抗这些框架； （3）公民和非公民之间的界限如何在他们之间的互动中进行谈判。这项研究的发现将有助于理解公民身份，不仅是正式地位，而且是在公民与非公民之间创造界限的互动过程。 这项研究通过将性别作为在当地社区中纳入移民的组成部分来增加对国际移民的理解，并将界限和边缘性视为同时的社会，政治和地理。 检查韩国边缘的公民身份做法也可以阐明其他民族国家工作中的类似过程。它可以帮助国家和地方政府的政策制定者，移民妇女的倡导者，移民妇女的服务组织，以创建更多知识的基于政策的不同地位和移民妇女的经验。
