Abstract

This study explores South Korean middle-aged businessmen, mainly in their 50s and 60s, who migrated to the Philippines to boost their socio-economic status and eventually recuperate their masculine identities. By examining how the Korean men’s assumption about where and how they can redeem their masculine identity was made, this research extends the notion of transnational business masculinity in three ways. First, it demonstrates the emergence of transnational business masculinity does not simply denote the demise of older form of business masculinity, and second, the ascendancy of certain form of business masculinity is not given but can be shaped by one of the primary actors, that is, the state. Lastly, the case of Korean middle-aged businessmen in the Philippines unravels the contemporary business masculinity prompts actual transnational migration as it relates to men’s self-positionality in geopolitical global order.

重塑 "贸易战士 "神话:在菲律宾寻找南韩男子气概
本研究探讨了韩国中年商人,主要是 50 多岁和 60 多岁的人,他们移民到菲律宾是为了提高自己的社会经济地位,并最终恢复自己的男性身份。通过考察韩国男性如何假设他们可以在哪里以及如何恢复其男性身份,本研究从三个方面扩展了跨国商业男性气质的概念。首先,它证明了跨国商业男性气质的出现并不简单地意味着旧形式的商业男性气质的消亡;其次,某种形式的商业男性气质的上升并不是必然的,而是可以由主要行为者之一(即国家)来塑造的。最后,菲律宾韩国中年商人的案例揭示了当代商业男子气概促使实际跨国移民的原因,因为这与男性在全球地缘政治秩序中的自我定位有关。
