碩士 / 國立中山大學 / 社會學系碩士班 / 101 / Over the past few decades, seafarer studies in Taiwan normally focus market valuation of these seafarers labor force, yet little attention has been given to the influence of the culture of Taiwanese seafarers’ legacy. This thesis wants to fill the research gap to introduce the concept of “xuezhang culture” to illustrate the cultural dimension of the seafarer’s life in schooling, military service and later in marine transport company. “Xuezhang culture” is a hegemonic masculine culture, which is produced and reproduced in these social institutions.
Based on the published materials in the past sixty years, interviews with 18 Taiwanese seafarers, and fieldwork observations in Taiwan’s and China’s maritime colleges, this thesis finds that some important structural forces enforce the function of “xuezhang culture” in seafarer’s everyday life, including the function of risk-sharing, team-work cooperation, and seafarers job information provision among seafarers. However, such a masculinity-based culture is facing challenges from social change, and a new gender culture is emerging, which is contesting the dominant hegemonic masculine seafarer’s culture.
