  • Chinese Marriage Migrants and Contested Belonging in Hong Kong and Taiwan
    INTIMATE FRONTIERS: CHINESE MARRIAGE MIGRANTS AND CONTESTED BELONGING IN HONG KONG AND TAIWAN by Man Chuen Cheng A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Toronto © Copyright by Man Chuen Cheng 2018 Intimate Frontiers: Chinese Marriage Migrants and Contested Belonging in Hong Kong and Taiwan Man Chuen Cheng Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Toronto 2018 Abstract Based on 17 months of ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Taiwan and Hong Kong between June 2014 and July 2016, this dissertation examines the everyday regulation and negotiation of belonging at various sites of Chinese marriage migrants' personal lives, including social service encounters, domestic space of the home, and Chinese marriage migrant communities. As Chinese women married across the two politically contested borders, their post-migration lives are situated within the frontiers of intimate family lives but also historically grounded political struggles and renewed local discontent against China’s political encroachment. The struggles of belonging faced by Chinese marriage migrants illuminate the norms, values, and ideologies upheld by citizens and the states of Hong Kong and Taiwan. As Chinese marriage migrants yearn to integrate into the Hong Kong and Taiwanese societies, some Chinese marriage migrants mobilized hegemonic discourses of belonging to make meanings of their everyday lives, others contested their exclusion by redefining their identities and in the process, producing new ii layers of inequalities against less-privileged Chinese marriage migrants. Delving into the narratives of belonging developed in everyday interaction, this dissertation shows how national belonging is a regulated and negotiated process beyond legal categories and immigration policies.

    THE SHIFTING BOUNDARIES OF RELIGIOUS PLURALISM IN AMERICA THROUGH THE LENS OF INTERFAITH MARRIAGE A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theological and Religious Studies By Erika B. Seamon, M.A. Washington, D.C. March 22, 2011 Copyright © 2011 Erika B. Seamon All rights reserved ii THE SHIFTING BOUNDARIES OF RELIGIOUS PLURALISM IN AMERICA THROUGH THE LENS OF INTERFAITH MARRIAGE Erika B. Seamon, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Chester Gillis, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation explores interfaith relationships and the nexus of personal and communal religious identity in the United States. The thesis is that religious intermarriage is both a reflective and a predictive material representation of the continual movement and redefinition of the boundaries of religious traditions and the boundaries of the religious and secular. Part I chronicles key historical events that contributed to the slow erosion of theological, legal, and social barriers to intermarriage among Catholics, Protestants, and Jews. As authority over religion and marriage moved from church to state to society, an era of ‗intra-religious‘ marriage became one of ‗interreligious‘ marriage by the mid-twentieth century. Part II investigates the characteristics of contemporary intermarriages, based upon qualitative research in the form of in-depth interviews with 43 individuals in Christian- Jewish, Christian-Muslim, Christian-Hindu, or Christian-Buddhist marriages. Contrary to the opinions of some prominent voices in religious communities, these contemporary intermarriages are not simply forms of syncretism or secularism; they are much more complex.

This said that couples who wanted to marry without their parents’ or guardians’ consent had to be older than 21 and their marriage had to take place publicly in their parish with a member of the Church clergy officiating.

PUB DATE 1996-11-00 NOTE 17p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the National Council on Family Relations (58th, Minneapolis, MN, November 14-18, 1996). PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Behavior Standards; Cultural Influences; Foreign Countries; *Marriage; Mate Selection; 'Social Behavior; *Social Change; Social Influences; Social Structure; *Sociocultural Patterns; Values IDENTIFIERS *Kuwait ABSTRACT The term "social change" refers to variations over time in the ecological ordering of populations and communities, in patterns of roles and social interactions, and in the cultures of societies. Some facets of social change in one middle eastern country are presented in thispaper. The study looks at the influence of social changes on marriage norms, andwas conducted in the context of the socio-cultural change that has accompanied the altered political and economic circumstances of the country. Aftera brief literature review and history, the details of mate selection,age criteria, and marriage ceremonies are presented. Results of the research indicate that the people of this country have a strong tendency to follow dictates of age, religion, sect, nationality, and caste when marrying someone. However, the numbers of those marrying across these lines has increased in the past 10 years, especially among people of higher socio-economic status with a college education and a high-status job. It is assumed that these kinds of marriages will increase during the 1990s.
