Breadwinners and Homemakers: Migration and Changing Conjugal Expectations in Rural Bangladesh
基于孟加拉国农村的研究，本文质疑自主与依赖概念在理解迁移背景下婚姻关系与期望的适用性，强调互惠性对社会再生产的关键作用。
The literature on marriage norms and aspirations across societies largely sees the institution as static -- a tool for the assertion of masculinities and subordination of women. The changing meanings of marriage and conjugality in the contemporary context of globalisation have received scant attention. Based on research in rural Bangladesh, this article questions the usefulness of notions of autonomy and dependence in understanding conjugal relations and expectations in a context of widespread migration for extended periods, especially to overseas destinations, where mutuality is crucial for social reproduction, though in clearly gender-demarcated domains.
