ILCAA Joint Research Project

A Reflection of Anthropological Studies on Population Movements: Focusing on Women Experiences as an Interface and “Diasporic Space” in Southeast Aisan “Chinese Communities.” (jrp000203)

About the Project

Project term: April, 2014–March, 2017

In this research project, we examine women’s experiences around male migration in the scope of “Diasporic Space,” in which population movements can be interpreted politically. Then this project will examine the invention and negotiation of identity and physical body, and the space where the incarnation is processed. Through these analyses, we will discuss the post-colonial view on Chinese migrants between settlements and movements, then, Sinicization and Creolization.
