| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 國際傳播英語碩士學位學程(IMICS) === 105 === This study aims to explore unmarried Taiwanese female migrants as daughters who work in the Netherlands and their adoptions of ICTs in maintaining transnational intergenerational relationships with their parents in Taiwan. This study also aims to explore daughter-mother and daughter-father relationships respectively and comparatively to illustrate how these transnational daughters practice the roles of daughters through ICTs. This study examines the interaction of the research areas of transnationalism and intergenerational communication. The discussion of practicing the roles of transnational daughters and their transnational intergenerational communication are seldom embedded in the context of transnational families. This study has demonstrated that transnational daughters adopt various ICT tools with different strategies to maintain intergenerational relationships and practice the roles of daughters under family expectations that are emphasized in this study. Transnational daughters also adopt different ICTs for mother-daughter and father-daughter relationships, which echo the different family roles between mothers and fathers. This study highlights the concept of polymedia and intergenerational relationships in the context of transnationalism.
