| Summary: | 碩士 === 高雄醫學大學 === 性別研究所碩士班 === 103 === In the dissertation, I used the narrative research method and the action research method to analyze my experiences of participation in the social movement, narrating the shadow of sexuality and labor in my family-of-origin, the process of marriage, and the transfer among jobs. From the narration, I realized the scars that had been carved from those experiences, and how I was shaped and influenced, which could be seen from my practical experiences and the cultures as well as beliefs and I believed in.
My family-of-origin and the working experiences are my field of specialization. The power that I stepped across originated from the first time when I met my teacher, Wang Shu-Ying, and participated in The Alliance of Educare of Trade Union (AETU). Throughout the process of participation in the organization and policy advocacy movement, I started to beware of predicament of labor and care. The awareness of consciousness was gradually raised and evoked as well, which was the crucial process accompanying and leading me to step across my field of specialization.
Accumulating the power of the experiences of organizational actions, I participated in an experimental project of Community Childminder System, with my experiences in the underclass labor, and further wrote down practical experiences as a process of recording of a persistent action by the organizational collaboration platform of women''s associations and AETU at the national residential house gathering many workers in Southern Taiwan.
Kaohsiung Wu-Chia Community Childminder System is a nursery school with its educational mode beyond the conventional, an open education, and community autonomy principles. It invited the government, the community, parents and the educare to constitute community autonomic committee and participate in governance and strategies. Via normal education and care conditions, the neighborhood can dedicate themselves to taking care of the children and involving in the interaction materials with a view to leading the caregivers (normally the families in the neighborhood and the educare) to be partners.
The experiences of ‘It takes a village to raise a child'' of Community Childminder System are non-maternal publicization actions. Action is practice. From the time I determined to stay in the Community Childminder System, re-knew the concept of community and non-maternal service and obtain new knowledge and the power by the project, the policy responses, and atmospheric change and construct. Based on the former dedication that the organization has given, conflicts and transformation have become the practical power. I hope that I can become an active movement advocate from the process of promoting the non-maternal publicization actions, support and persuade the female in the neighborhood to be involved in the action.
The research aimed at arranging the experiences into a path to knowledge. In addition to the personal reflection, insight and self-identification, I also hope that I can persuade the female caregivers to get them involved in The Alliance of Educare of Trade Union (AETU), and to put the experiences of running kindergartens into practice, thus creating the space for social conversation and becoming the reference afterwards. Finding an exit for the partners of caregivers is another form of speaking out loud. I hope that I can continue to be the connector and advocator of the caregiving resources, accumulate the experience of actions to transform it into a form of pass-on knowledge, and be the pioneer, making the dream of the public non-maternal child care come true owing to our participation.
