自中國改革開放以來，大量的農村人口流動到城巿工作。在中國的移民／遷移研究當中，家庭、女性、制度等常為研究人員的研究對象及研究範式，卻鮮以性別視角研究男性的打工經驗及個人的遷移經歷。這一點對於理解男性在遷移及打工過程中，如何回應城鄉之間的差異，包括工業化及全球化下的中國經濟模式以及各種意識形態的轉變，具有極為重要的價值。面對著大量流動於不同社會的男性群體，我們對於他們的身份建構、工作遭遇、因著男性身份而在各個領域中所經歴的差異等理解甚少。是次研究以南中國農民工為例，與12 位以服務性行業為主的男性農民工進行了深入訪談，並以男性特質論（Masculinities）作為分析框架。研究發現在城巿及巿場的影響之下，男性農民工的男性特質具有物質化特性，這種男性特質的再建構是男性農民工面對現代化及都巿生活下的一種價值轉變及回應。與此同時，在物質化男性特質影響下，男性農民工對於家庭產生一種循環性的虧欠感及對其自我評價產生負面影響。 / Since the Open Door Policy of China, a great proportion of people in the rural areas mobilized to the city for work, Family, female and institution are usually the subjects and perspectives in the trend of recent China internal migration studies. However, male migrant workers, as a gender subject, is usually absent in those researches and their experience in the city should be revealed. The changing identities and asculinities performance are significant perspective for us in understating the male migrant workers subjectivities transformation underthe influences from city and market. This study aims at using Masculinities as a framework to investigate the effect of cities and markets on the male migrant workers in south China. Twelve In-depth interviews with male migrant workers, whose are mainly in service industry in these 2 years (2012-2013), were conducted. This research discovers that their Masculinities were materialized under the influences of city and market when they are working in the cities, and the materialized masculinity lead(s) them to have a low self-appraisal and selfregret to their family. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 彭梽樃. / Thesis (M.Phil.)
