層層剝削?互利共生?:兩岸性交易網絡中的交織政治(Exploitation or Reciprocity? The Intersectionality of Gender, Class and Sexuality in Cross-Strait Commercial Sex Networks)
描述 Description 關鍵詞:兩岸性交易網絡、性別、移民/性工作者、性工作、交織性、Cross-strait commercial sex networks、gender、migrant/sex workers、sex work、intersectionality
摘要:組織、仲介性交易的第三人在女性主義書寫中經常被視為性剝削者。透過深度訪談中國移民/性工作者,以及組織、仲介兩岸性交易的第三人,本文將指出主流「人蛇集團」的論述一方面誤導了這類地下經濟網絡的性質,另方面也錯失了揭露此地下經濟網絡背後的物質基礎。在本文的分析中,兩岸底層階級男女是這類網絡的主要勞動力來源,而罰娼的性體制與移民體制則塑造了中國移民/性工作者易受第三人剝削的結構性關係。然而,本文的資料顯示,中國移民/性工作者並不必然在這些地下網絡中感受到剝削或淪為毫無能動性的受害者。相對的,她們和第三人之間經常充滿著矛盾的關係─他們彼此間既合作又鬥爭,勞務所得分配不均的表象下潛藏著互利共生的互惠性。

英文摘要 abstract Exploitation or Reciprocity? The Intersectionality of Gender, Class
and Sexuality in Cross-Strait Commercial Sex Networks

Abstract
For decades, “human snakes” (a slang name for sex traffickers) have
been described as sexual exploiters, especially in the feminist literature. Based
on data from interviews with Chinese migrant/sex workers and Taiwanese
sex traffickers, I will argue that the prevailing discourse misconstrues crossstrait
commercial sex networks and the material bases of the underground
economy. I will also argue that the cross-strait underclass represents the
main labor source in this economy, and that the regime that criminalizes
commercial sex and rigid border controls actually makes Chinese migrant sex
workers a vulnerable group for exploitation. The intersection of gender, class,
sexuality, and migration thus makes the fragile positions of Chinese migrant
sex workers even worse than those of local sex workers. However, my data
indicate that Chinese migrant sex workers are not necessarily sexual victims,
nor do they generate the feeling of being exploited. Instead, relations between
them and human snakes are usually contradictory and ambiguous, marked
by a mix of co-operation and antagonism. The balance of power between
migrant/sex workers and human snakes is uneven, yet migrant sex workers
may view it as reciprocal, since their pimps and traffickers are the only actors
capable of negotiating with the state.

Keywords: Cross-strait commercial sex networks, gender, migrant/sex
workers, sex work, intersectionality
