ABSTRACT A central thread in migration studies is the various forms of state power that produce precarious conditions for migrants in favor of capital mobility and accumulation. The case of South Korea, which this paper pays attention to, shifts the analytical focus on overt state violence to explore heterogenous modes of governing foreign populations, namely, labor migrants and marriage migrants. Grounded in interviews and observational fieldwork in Ansan, South Korea’s ‘migrant city,’ the paper examines the policies, practices and political effects of everyday practices of government support: First, what kinds of governing rationality are embedded in South Korea’s bifurcated migration policy? Second, how does the affective labor of migrant women become entangled in practices of government support for labor migrants? Third, how and to what extent, does such support guide migrants, both the recipients (the labor migrants) and the service providers (the marriage migrants or staff members), to become governable subjects? The analysis obliges us to recast the analytical division between labor and marriage migrants often deployed in the literature of migration in the region. Furthermore, it highlights a pivotal role that gender plays to shape technologies and effects of governing for migrants.

通过支持治理：韩国移民妇女的情感劳动和政府服务

摘要 移民研究的一个中心线索是各种形式的国家权力，这些国家权力为移民创造了有利于资本流动和积累的不稳定条件。本文关注的韩国案例，将分析焦点从公开的国家暴力转向探索异质性的外来人口治理模式，即劳务移民和婚姻移民。本文以韩国“移民城市”安山的访谈和实地观察为基础，考察了政府支持的日常实践的政策、实践和政治影响：首先，韩国分叉的移民政策中嵌入了什么样的治理理性？第二，农民工的情感劳动如何与政府扶持农民工的实践纠缠不清？第三，如何以及在多大程度上，这种支持是否引导移民，包括接受者（劳务移民）和服务提供者（婚姻移民或工作人员）成为可治理的主体？该分析迫使我们重新定义该地区移民文献中经常采用的劳动和婚姻移民之间的分析划分。此外，它还强调了性别在塑造移民治理技术和效果方面的关键作用。
