ABSTRACT In recent decades, social networking sites (SNSs) have revolutionized transnational immigrant social networks channels. SNSs have become a source for engagement within these migrant communities and facilitate a fervent discourse on their perceptions and overall engagement with host societies. In this study, we aim to examine this discourse as they play out over the SNS landscape. Specifically, we ask how does the use of SNSs shape the encounter between migrant workers and host societies? To explore this query we suggest focusing on the case of live-in Filipino caregivers in Israel and their manifestations of host national identification on Facebook. Through an extensive methodological design that incorporates over 800 Facebook postings, and supported by an extensive ethnographic research, the study identified cultural constructs that integrated Israeli cultural components into the local Filipino discourse were identified and classified by four thematic categories: exploring Hebrew performance, Israeli annual festivities and Jewish holidays, current affairs in Israel and discussing Israeli public places. These findings underscore an affinity between these migrant workers and the local culture in what we deem as ‘Digital Host National Identification’. The study suggests that understanding this development can be conducive to understanding (albeit partial) integration processes of marginalized communities, elucidating temporary migrants’ cultural encounter with their host society and the role of computer-mediated-communications in representing these encounters to both local and international publics.

菲律宾临时移民工人的数字东道国身份识别

摘要 近几十年来,社交网站 (SNS) 彻底改变了跨国移民社交网络渠道。SNS 已成为这些移民社区参与的来源,并促进了关于他们的看法和与东道国社会的整体参与的热烈讨论。在这项研究中,我们的目标是在 SNS 版图上出现这种话语时对其进行检查。具体来说,我们问 SNS 的使用如何影响农民工和东道国社会之间的相遇?为了探索这个问题,我们建议关注以色列的菲律宾住家看护人的案例以及他们在 Facebook 上的东道国身份认同的表现。通过广泛的方法设计,其中包含 800 多个 Facebook 帖子,并得到广泛的人种学研究的支持,该研究确定了将以色列文化成分整合到菲律宾当地话语中的文化结构,并按四个主题类别进行了确定和分类:探索希伯来语表演、以色列年度庆祝活动和犹太节日、以色列时事和讨论以色列公共场所。这些发现强调了这些移民工人与我们认为的“数字东道国国民身份证明”中的当地文化之间的密切关系。该研究表明,了解这种发展有助于理解边缘化社区的(尽管是部分的)融合过程,阐明临时移民与东道国社会的文化遭遇以及计算机中介通信在向当地和国际代表这些遭遇方面的作用公众。
