Rethinking the Gay Chinese Migrant through the Prism of Migration Aspirations: Observations from France and Belgium

以移民愿望为视角重新思考中国男同性恋移民: 基于在法国和比利时的观察

Aaron Raphael Ponce

Résumé

Abstract On the basis of data gathered by two independent ethnographic studies of gay Chinese migrants in France and Belgium, this paper aims to identify the role of intersecting and parallel aspirations which shape their migration trajectories toward Western countries. These aspirations include motivations to respond to or appropriate traditional family configurations, imaginaries that characterize the countries of destination, the desire to fulfill same-sex sexual and relationship goals, as well as class, educational, national, and ethnic affiliations. Using concepts of intersectionality and super-diversity, this paper further argues that the simultaneous and overlapping nature of these motivations deserves to be discussed as a subset of current Chinese diasporas.
基于对在法国和比利时的中国男同性恋移民进行的两项独立的民族志研究所收集的数据,本文旨在确定这一群体多样且交叉和平行的移民愿望,以及这些愿望如何决定他们向西方国家移民的轨迹。这些愿望包括对传统家庭结构的回应和妥善应对的动机,对目的地国家的社会想象,对实现同性恋身份和同性关系的渴望,以及阶级、教育、国家和民族归属等因素的影响。本文使用交叉性和超级多样性的概念,进一步论证了这些动机的同时和重叠的性质及其作为当前中国侨民的一个子集来讨论的价值。
