Despite a growing evidence of transmigrants’ political activism, empirical research is still in its infancy. This paper examined how migrants’ political agency was constructed by their emotions, identities and transnational contexts. Data were collected from in-depth interviews with 11 Korean migrants who were residing in Brisbane, the third largest city of Australia, and engaging in home-country politics through self-organized activities. The study found that participants developed a human rights frame to suit their identities and contexts and in turn, the frame shaped their identities and political agency around human rights. The concepts of ‘framing’ and ‘small group development’ assisted in understanding interview participants’ experiences of negotiating differences in conceptualization and strategization of social issues.

朝鲜移民在澳大利亚的跨国活动:围绕人权的集体意义

尽管越来越多的证据表明移民的政治行动主义,但实证研究仍处于起步阶段。本文考察了移民的政治机构是如何通过他们的情感,身份和跨国环境来构建的。数据来自对居住在澳大利亚第三大城市布里斯班的11名韩国移民的深入访谈,这些移民通过自发组织的活动参与本国政治。该研究发现,参与者制定了适合其身份和背景的人权框架,而框架反过来塑造了围绕人权的身份和政治代理。“框架”和“小团体发展”的概念有助于理解受访者就社会问题的概念化和战略化进行谈判的经验。
