摘要

2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)全球大流行造成了无情的环境,损害了移徙工人的社会经济福祉。在此背景下,本文通过对文莱达鲁萨兰国从事初级职业和销售及服务工作的南亚男性移徙工人进行定性访谈,调查了他们在疫情期间在该国的生活经历。本文运用移民和道德经济,特别是道德汇款的概念镜头,揭示了他们与祖国的联系以及他们对家庭的责任和义务的表现方式。采用目的抽样和滚雪球抽样的方法招募了23名研究参与者,在数据分析之前对访谈数据进行录音和转录。采用Clarke和Braun(2013)的主题分析阶段,通过意义生成过程对访谈数据进行严格分析,并探索强调当地环境对参与者生活经验的独特贡献的新主题。确定了他们在大流行期间经历的三个突出主题:就业保障、对自己和家庭的关注以及提供照顾和保护的责任,这一点通过汇款和与家人的持续接触得到体现。随后的数据分析还表明,这些主题实际上是有意识地表达责任和道德义务,因为其本国的大流行病形势不断恶化,加剧了其家庭的经济脆弱性和生计挑战。

“I WANT TO GO HOME, BUT I CAN’T LEAVE”: NARRATIVES OF THE SOUTH ASIAN DIASPORA IN BRUNEI DURING COVID-19
The global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic caused unforgiving circumstances, compromising the socioeconomic well-being of migrant workers. In this context, drawing upon qualitative interviews with South Asian male migrant workers in elementary occupations and sales and service roles in Brunei Darussalam, this paper investigates their lived experiences in the country during the pandemic. This paper employs the conceptual lens of diaspora and moral economy, specifically moral remittance, to reveal their connection to their homeland and the ways they demonstrate their responsibility and obligation to their families. Twenty-three research participants were recruited via purposive and snowball sampling techniques, and the interview data were audio-recorded and transcribed before the data analysis. Adopting Clarke and Braun’s (2013) phases of thematic analysis, the interview data were rigorously analysed through the meaning-making process and to explore new themes that underscore the distinctive contribution of the local environment to the lived experiences of the participants. Three prominent themes that capture their experience during the pandemic were identified: employment security, concern for oneself and family, and the responsibility to provide care and protection, which were manifested through remittance and continuing engagement with their families. The subsequent data analysis also reveals that these themes are indeed conscious expressions of responsibility and moral obligation due to the deteriorating pandemic situation in their home country that exacerbated their families’ economic vulnerability and challenging livelihood.
