520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Drawing on the author's direct participation in the empowerment of ‘foreign brides,’ this paper charts the gradual transformation of these highly stigmatized marriage immigrants from isolated and suppressed individuals to active participants in a growing immigrant movement in Taiwan. The ‘double‐bind structure’ prevalent in mainstream media narratives has constructed ‘foreign brides’ as either ‘passive victims’ or ‘materialist blood suckers,’ two logically contrasted stereotypes that jointly construct ‘foreign brides’ as an inferior other. While sympathetic with ‘foreign brides,’ most feminist discourse also portrays them as passive victims. This paper highlights the agency of ‘foreign brides,’ who strive for better lives via transnational marriages and, more importantly, have transformed themselves first from personal subject to communal subject and then to historical subject. This process of subjectivation is the result of active grassroots empowerment, which has provided the impetus for the building of a social movement.
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc 從作者多年涉入培力「外籍新娘」的經驗出發， 本文分析在台灣被高度污名化的婚姻移民逐步突破孤立處境， 進而積極投入新移民運動的過程。 普遍存在於主流媒體敘事的「進退維谷結構」將外籍新娘建構為「無可奈何的受害者」和「唯利是圖的吸血鬼」—兩者看似矛盾， 實為統一地， 將外籍新娘建構為「低劣他者」。 許多女性主義者雖然同情外籍新娘， 但仍視其為無助的受害者。 本文強調外籍新娘的能動性， 指出她們不僅透過跨國婚姻追尋更好的未來， 更重要的是， 已從個人主體轉化為社群主體， 甚至成為歷史主體; ；而這主體化的過程是多年草根培力， 從而打造社會運動的結果。
